Hey All,
I am creating a template including automations for reminders. My goal is to make this a template, but now im unsure that all my automations will be stored in the template or if its just creating a sheet template. Does anyone know! I hope this is a yes!
HELP !
Thank you!
Hi Lauren,
Yes, it will work! There are settings when you save and use the template to select what you want.
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic week!

Andree,
Correct me if I am wrong, but it will NOT save specific email addresses built into the Automations. It will save if you have it set to send to contacts in a Contact type column though.
Thank you! I ended up creating a test and saw that the automation carried over
Paul,
I think this may not be true however, my workaround is an " assigned to " column. As people and roles are ever-changing and this assigned to section can be changed on a dime.
You are correct! It's because of security it doesn't work with specific contacts.
Excellent!
Happy to help!
I thought it was true, but I never knew why. It makes sense though. Thanks for confirming.

My API developer seems to have tried everything to generate a new sheet using a template which contains workflows, however, when the sheet is created using the API it does not carry over the workflows...
If you create the sheet manually using the template, it works, however, the API does not seem to want to create the workflows on the new sheet...
Any insight would be AWESOME!

Did you get a solve for this? If not, have your developer add rules and ruleRecipients to the include parameter when creating a sheet from template. Worked for me.

I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
When i try to send or print the timeline view instead of showing the progression bars like they do on the screen it only send the data entered and not a graph type view to print. Is there a way to do this. I am using a mac platform if that helps.
