I have a form created for a sheet so that when it is submitted it adds a row to Sheet 1. How do I have a second sheet recognize that a new row has been added to Sheet 1 so that it can pull data from a few of the columns?
Thank you,
Matt
Hi Matt,
There has to be something to decide what to collect from the other sheet.
Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic day!

Matt,
The solution will depend on the specifics of what you are trying to do. There are three Smartsheet features I would look into depending on what, exactly, you are trying to accomplish:
1. If the goal us simply to move a line from Sheet 1 to the new sheet, and the new sheet never changes, you can probably go with an automated workflow.
2. If you just want the new sheet to access data from Sheet 1, cross-sheet references or cell links might be the way to go. You may need to create intermediate sheets to get the data into a format the second sheet can use.
3. If you want something to literally listen for changes to Sheet 1 and then copy specific information to a new sheet, you will most likely need to use an external app. Zapier is a good service that a lot of folks use. If you need something more customized than what they offer, it may be a job for the API and webhooks.
Hello, I use Smartsheet in such way that people are asked to provide data on many records and then that data needs to be approved by one other person (always the same person). I would like to set up an automation that, each morning, checks to see if there are records waiting to be approved, and if there are, sends an…
I have a workspace that I created with two subfolders. A user needs to have access to only one of them but when I have that folder selected, I can only share the entire workspace with them. Is there a secret way that I can share the parent folder and ensure that any new files created will be shared with the same people? I…
I already have a Smartsheet license with my company, but I was recently invited to collaborate on a sheet owned by another group within the same organization. When I accepted, I was told I need to upgrade in order to edit or contribute. Can you please explain why this is required? It seems unreasonable to need multiple…
