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?

Hi @Andrée Starå! I'm also curious about this, also. I don't believe it has been resolved. At the very least, is there a way to see what sheets and automations the user is connected to? This is also an issue when someone is replaced. Is there a way to update an old user with a new one?
Hi everyone! I need to set up an automation that is triggered within a set number of days before the date listed in a date field. I need the automation to send an alert email to a new hire at most 7 days before the start date. I know I can set the automation to send 1 week before the start date, but if the new hire's…
I’ve started building a form in Smartsheet using the Smartsheet Form Builder, and the responses are successfully populating my sheet. The challenge I’m running into is creating conditional logic within the form to narrow down selections. For example, if a user selects a state (such as Florida), I’d like the next question…
When I publish the calendar view, not all my tasks are showing up. I have all filters off. In my regular view on the sheet, the tasks are there.
