Auto Update Requests - edit the update requests?

ABogle

Hello,

I have weekly update requests set to go out automatically for a sheet I oversee. Each time a new row is added and assigned to a different resource, I have to go back and delete the old request completely before adding the new row onto the old automatic update request. 

Is there any way to update a currently active and update request without completely deleting it and creating a new one?

Thanks!

Aaron

Hi Aaron,

I'm not exactly sure what you're describing? You can edit an automated update request to send to an assigned to Contact list column. More on this here: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/504779-using-update-requests

Are people not completing their update requests? That's typically why they linger. I honestly just ignore the pending update request icon if someone fills it out directly on the sheet.

Hi Aaron,

Depending on your specific needs you could probably use "Alerts & Actions" and send an Automated Update Request instead.

Please see the attached link/screenshot for more information.

I hope this helps you!
