Update Requests

We have an automated update request created, however, when it is triggered it sends a link to update all fields that need updating to all contacts within the sheet - as a result they are not using it as they cannot see which action is theirs to be updated

What we would like to happen is that the update for that row only goes to the trigger person within the condition is this possible have i missed something in setting the automation up?

thank you

Hi,

You can set that up in the Automation Workflow and select that it should send the Update Request to a specific contact column from the sheet.

Would that work?

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic day!

You can choose who the requests are sent to. You can configure them to be sent out to any of the following:

People in a Contact field for that row (for example: the Assignee)
Everyone shared to the sheet
People that you manually specify
Members of a channel in a third-party app such as Slack or Microsoft Teams

If you have multiple people with different "roles" involved on work items in the sheet, you might want to set up a condition to send a different request Action - that has different fields selected for each role.

If you can't get this working the way you want, please set up time with me and I'd love to help (and learn how we can make this easier).

How to Share Single Workspace Folder?
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…
License Question
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…
