Daily Digest for Notifications

Batch all notifications generated through workflows for a single program or for any sheet into a single email with a quick summary of why you receive the notification for a sheet and a link to the sheet/cell as appropriate.

When team members receive too many individual notifications, they can start tuning them out, a consolidated version would alleviate that.

You can set automations to run on a daily basis. You would make them date based triggers and select the "Custom" option to set daily / weekly / etc. and the number of days / weeks / etc..

That would still mean one notification per sheet, rather than a summary of the program or workspace, correct?

Yes, but that may still help with the overload in that they are getting a daily digest from each sheet instead of multiple emails from each sheet. While still not necessarily a program or workspace level, at least it is a little bit more consolidation of alerts.

Another option is (assuming column names and types are the same across multiple sheets) a report that compiles all of the sheets and then you can automate sending that report as a PDF on a regular basis.

Editable email Subject header from Smartsheet Notification
Hi There, I would like to propose that Smartsheet considers the email subject header that is received from a Smartsheet notification from a form or sheet.
