When I delete a person from the system (end of contract), is the person that also deleted from all the automation rules?
- I get a large number of messages that a "workflow has become invalid".
Thanks for any advice.
Hi Victor,
No, they aren't deleted from the automation but depending on your Automation Permissions (Restricted, Limited, Unrestricted) they could still be part of the automation and receive alerts/actions.
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic weekend!

Thank you for your quick response.
To me this sounds like a bug .... When I delete a person from the system, I want to have them deleted entirely. After deleting I would not like to change all the automation manually for all the rules the person appears.
Or am I not getting it?
Happy to help!
I can understand that but because the permission can be set to send to anyone that's not part of your account it can't be deleted and also you might want to change them to someone else.
A possible enhancement could be to have an option when deleting the person to remove them from all Automation as well.
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.
What do you think?

Currently on the sheet, a task has the reminder flag set to 1 and the status is…
I am attempted to export to excel. I have two different smartsheet documents to export. One of them exported to excel fine, but not the other. This happened a few weeks ago. I make sure all columns were the correct size & no cells were hidden. "We have found a problem with (file) Do you want us to try and recover as much…
Hi Everyone, My IT has a lot of confusion on what we access we really need to have for certain people. What is the difference between a "Member" and a "Licensed User?" We have a lot of sheets that have owners who do all of the changes of the sheet. I know that they need to be licensed users. But then, we have a lot of…
