Is it possible to send an automatic Approval Request right after an automatic Update Request was filled in.

I am extremely frustrated and disappointed with my current Smartsheet experience. I have paid for a Pro subscription, I am the owner and administrator of my account and sheets, and I have confirmed I am logged into the correct account.
