Auto populate cell based on date update request sent

dianay

Is there a way to auto populate a cell based on the date that an update request is sent?

I would like the cell (a date field) to auto fill with the date that the update request is sent. The update request is sent automatically based on other triggers.

 

Thanks!

I am not aware of any such feature. The only way I can think of is to check the update request and manually enter the date.

Thanks. That is what I am currently doing. I get a bit frustrated because it seems like everything I am doing is manual.

Paul Newcome

Yes. There are a lot of things that are manual still that seem like they should be a pretty standard automation feature/option.

Hi,

It could be set up with the help of a third-party solution like Zapier or similar.

Would that work?

Have a fantastic week!
