Approval email work around

Working with clients outside of smartsheet, and I want to send them automated approvals. The challenge I am having is the email address that they are receiving the automatic approval from is not from our business name, or specific user. It is a "smartsheet automation" email.

Does anyone have a workaround for this? Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi Jef,

A possible workaround could be to use update request as an alternative method.

Would that work?

Have a fantastic weekend!

Andree,

Thanks, I gave it a try - but the email received on my test run is sent from "Smartsheet Alerts & Actions <automation@smartsheet.com" still not from my business or the "user in my business".

I am thinking the only work around to this obstacle to sit down with each client and create a new "contact" in their contact library with a false name attached to the above email address.

This update and approval could be so useful if it represented the user sending the information.

Sorry!

I was thinking about the e-mail address that the replies go to.

Great workaround. You could also create a contact file (vcf) and send that to the clients.

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

Have a fantastic weekend!

Best,

Sheet shows BLANK rows, there is a "MOVE rows" worflow, is that why?
Is it possible that a workflow that MOVES rows to another sheet too basically do a CUT/PASTE (like in Excel), and then you are left with BLANK rows on your original sheet? I cannot think of any other LOGICAL reason why this would happen. The users enter the data from an Intake Form, it gets placed onto this sheet. They do…
Sorting not working?
Hi. I have a sheet where I am sorting dates by ascending order. But the sorting functionality doesn't seem to be working. Instead of bringing all items with date values to the top of the sheeting and sorting them in ascending order, it leaves a gap. Is it a result of the "Next Review Due" column containing a column formula…
