Hi
is it possible to send an automatic update request every 2 weeks without changing anything in the sheet to a contact in a column?
Many thanks
Peter
Hi Peter,
Yes, probably but I'll need some more details. Can you describe in more detail what you want to do?
I hope this helps you!
Best,

It's simple
i have a todo list (screenshot). The task is delegated to someone -> contact in "delegiert an". Now smartsheet should send an update request ever 2 weeks to the contacts in "delegiert an". These guys have to update the "erledigt zu", add a comment, upload a file or request with no changes.
many thanks
Ok. That's what I thought.
Look here
Update request every two weeks

not exactly. With this way i must make an update request in each row and i have to set the contact manually. I want smartsheet to do this without interaction and send the update request to the contact in the "delegiert an" column. This contact may change or there will be more than one contact.
Ok. As a workaround, you could set up an Alert & Action > Update Request that sends on a date in a specific cell, and for each row, on the sheet, you link that data from the top date (first date) that you update every two weeks.
Would that work?
correct ... but i have to update the date every two weeks manually or is there an other way ... My intention is to make no manual entry.
It could probably be automated thru Zapier or a similar service. You could also have an Update Request for the first date go to you, and you could update it that way. Almost what you want
If you don't require an update but just FYI to someone, you can can use (while inside the sheet: File-send as attachment:
Happy to help!
Have a fantastic week!
I would like to be able to program SmartSheets to send a notification of upcoming dates (i.e. 90 days before the date shown in SmartSheets) to specific people. I have played around with the notifications option and can't seem to get it fine tuned. It notifies of all future dates, not just those that fall within 90 days.
One of my team members wants a way to basically do a reverse critical path. She wants to be able to put in the date that the project needs to be finished by and then work backwards to find out what the dates should be for each of the tasks. She says that it can be done in Microsoft Project. Is there a way that something…
In all other views you can create a new task either by completing cells or tapping in a view and adding a next task. In calendar view when I tap on a date to add something, nothing happens - how do I fixed this as the easiest way for me to add something is via the calendar view - thank you!
