Hello, is it possible to alert someone multiple days within a project duration? Example: Projects have a duration of 3 months. Within those 3 months, I need to reminder alert every 21 days. Please assist. Thank you, Grace
Hi Grace,
You can set up a recurrence pattern.

Would that work?
I hope that helps!
Have a fantastic weekend!

Thanks Andree. Although it was not quite what I needed, it lead me to the right direction. I have several projects I am tracking and each one has a specific start date and needed alert every 21 days from each of those start date. Unfortunately the automation on the custom selection did not allow me to choose from the start date. My work around was to do it individual parent row and from there I was able to choose multiple alert dates.
Excellent!
Happy to help!
There's probably another way to make it work, but if this is working for you, maybe there isn't a need to change the workflow.
Let me know!
I am now curious of this second option Andrée. Would like to test out if it is a better option. Please assist. Thank you.
Ok. I'll get back to this post with the other option later this weekend.
I'd add a so-called helper column that would check a box when the date is today or later than today when looking at the project's start date.
We'd then set up the recurrence to be ever 21 days with a start from today and add a condition that checks if the checkbox in the helper column is checked.
Make sense?
Would that work/help?
I can no longer see all the sheets shared to me, even though I could see them all last week. I have requested access to them again and was granted 'edit' access and used them the same day. But the next day they have gone again. I have tried logging in with a different browser but still cannot see the sheets. Why is this…
Hello! I'm building a sheet to track multiple tasks. Each task (FILE) has different stages of completion (PROCESS/INTAKE, Research, Drafting, Reviewing and Finalizing). Each stage has an ASSIGNED TO contact and COMPLETED date. The Finalizing date will be the FINAL/END date. We want to track turnaround time per ASSIGNED TO…
I accidentally upgraded to Business plan, then cancelled it near the end of the billing cycle, and rejoined as Pro plan. Since then, I can see all workspaces and sheets, can search and download sheets, but cannot open any sheet and receive a generic error message to all sheets. What can I do to resolve this? This is quite…
