Notification emails with new Proofing feature

My organization plans to start using the new Proofing feature, and today we did some initial testing to see how it works.

We noticed that the person who requested a proof review didn't get ANY notification emails when new comments, approvals, or rejections were added to a proof.

We tried to set up notifications using Automation, but I couldn't find a way to set up a workflow trigger related to Proofing.

Does anyone know how we can make sure the requester gets a notification when new comments, approvals, or rejections happen on a proof?

Thanks!

Hi Michaela,

Unfortunately, as far as I know, it's not possible at the moment, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

As a workaround in the meanwhile could be to @mention them.

Would that work?

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic day!

Hi Michaela,

I'm the product manager for proofing. Thank you for trying out the new feature! We will be adding notifications for Approve/Reject actions soon as it is next on our priority list. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,

Brian, thanks for your response! I'm glad to know that Approve/Reject notifications will be added soon. It would be great if comment notifications would be an option too, but the Approve/Reject notifications should cover most of our needs. Appreciate it!

Excellent!

Happy to help!

Hi there!

I'm looking for the answer to this question as well. Have notifications in the proofing feature been made available yet?

Thanks,

I also would like to know if this has been added. Just started using the proofing feature and didn't realize team members had commented because it didn't notify me as the requester. Please let me know if notification has been added and where to turn that on. Thank you!

Still waiting to hear that notifications to requester of proof comments has been added. This is essential for proofing to work efficiently when managing multiple projects and proofs. Currently only receive a notification if someone approves or rejects.

@Mention doesnt seem to work in the comments of proofing either.

Waiting for this to be a feature

Sheet Access report
Hello. Me and my team are doing an audit of users who have access to edit items in our account and one of the reports we're using is the Sheet Access report under the User Management section of the Admin Center. However, we're running into some weird things. When we dig into the Sheet Access report, we sometimes notice…
Does sheet access require new users to create a smartsheet account?
No License required I am sharing a published link, no license required to a group of people. The goal is for them to be able to edit the sheet. Would each member be required to create a smartsheet account? Please, is there a way for them to access my sheet without having to create an account? Many thanks!
Backspace, enter and delete keys not working...
This has happened a couple of times before. However, when trying to update a form or even a field in the smartsheet, I am unable to use the backspace, enter or delete key. I use Google browser, however I wasn't sure if it was Google, so I switched to Microsoft Edge. Still not working. Also, I tried using the backspace,…
