User-submitted forms: Is there a way to have email address and name be automatically added to my Con

I have an "Update Request" Smartsheet, where employees can submit a request via a form. The 'name' and 'email' fields are both required, so I'm capturing those fields on every submission. BUT even though someone enters an email address and name, I still have to manually add that person to my Contacts.

How can I set my form so that each name/email address that is submitted will be compared to my Contacts list and automatically added if not already there?

Hello Izi,

Thank you for contacting Smartsheet Support. At this time, Smartsheet does not support this functionality; however, I've let our Product team know about your request. Due to the large number of variables they have to consider when choosing what to develop next, we can't confirm when or if this will be built, but we have let them know.

You can always add more requests under "Submit Product Enhancement Request" under "Quick Links" to the right-hand-side of this page.

I'd love to know if anyone else has found a way to make this work so that I can let our team know.

Kind Regards,

Alison

Hi Izi (again)!

I wanted to confirm that I looked into this further and I saw that the email addresses that are placed into a Contact List column, though they won't show up in your Smartsheet Contacts, they would populate under "Select Contacts" in your Update Request form.

I've included a few screenshots of this.

Please let me know if you have further questions on this.

Kind regards,

Alison

Folder Level Sharing
Circling back to this….. Another year goes by and still no folder level sharing. Smartsheet developers don't listen to their clients. I have seen hundreds or posts and requests for this over the past 7-8 years. And still NOTHING!! This has been a huge issue for us as a company. As you can tell this is a sore spot for us…
Restore multiple cell changes from Snapshot
Today a team member accidentally changed several rows by either deleting the data or the row itself. Do I download a snapshot of each one to restore? Some of them didn't seem to be too helpful. What is the protocol for restoring this information? I've only done this before with the help of a representative and it was…
Why are my answers not showing up when a document is generated?
I have my Smartsheet set to generate a document when a form is filled out. The document is a fillable PDF and when the document generates not all of the answers populate on the generated PDF. I have tried making the PDF again from scratch, I have tried copying and pasting the fields so I know they're the exact same…
