I am sending out alerts based on a cell being changed. I would like to customize the email that gets sent to include a link to a related dashboard. Is there a way to make this a hyperlink that can just be clicked to take them to that dashboard?
There are 2 ways. First is the way I don't regularly recommend, which is to publish the dashboard. When looking at the dashboard there is an icon that looks somewhat like a globe. If you select this icon and turn on one of the options in the popup, it will give you a url. This url can be used by anyone, there is not a logon required. Only do this if the information is not sensitive.
The second way is to hit the share button. At the very bottom of the popup (Provided you have shared the dashboard with someone) there will be a url. You can send this url to different people, and smartsheet will require them to be logged into the program when it is used.
I'm actually looking for a way to put a hyperlink in a workflow alert - regardless of where that link leads. Just in my specific case it will lead to a dashboard...
Hi Wendy,
Is it the same link or would it be different for each row?
I hope that helps!
Have a fantastic day!

For this use it would be the same everytime.
Then the previous suggestion should work.
Maybe I'm not being very clear so let me give a bit more detail.
I am keeping track of training for our employees. When I assign training (by filling out a cell in a row) an alert is triggered to go to the user. In that email I would like to include a hyperlink that takes them to a location where all the quizzes they need to take are stored. I can obviously just include the ugly, long URL directly in the alert. I would however prefer to have it be a hyperlink. Is there a way to turn text into a hyperlink in an alert?
Ok. Now I follow!
Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment, but it's an excellent idea!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.
A possible workaround could be to use a so-called link shortener service like bit.ly or similar.
Would that work/help?
I will look into it, thank you! I will also submit an Enhancement Request. Thanks for getting back to me.
I'm always happy to help!

I have multiple items that each have their own statuses and that roll up to "workstreams" or swimlanes. On the dashboard, I would like to show the progress of the items by swimlane without breaking it out into separate widgets for each. This would ideally be a stacked bar where each bar represented the Items and was broken…
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 have a Pro plan but I cannot create ANY reports. The system does not allow me to choose a folder, and consequently a sheet to create a row report and suggests an upgrade to Business or Enterprise. I'm quite new to Smartsheet and feel a bit disappointed with this limitation, or maybe I'm just doing something wrong. Alberto
