Use automation to move row AND notify someone

Kirstine

Is there a way that I can use automation to move row AND notify someone in one workflow when triggered by a change? 

@CollabMeganPMP

You can alert and then add an action to move the row.

Ha ha, so simple! (Now if I could just get the powers that be to add the function COPY a row to the automation options!!!) Thank you!

@CollabMeganPMP

Yes!  That would be nice.  We talked to a product manager about the current MOVE function and a future COPY function with the options to specify which columns go in the MOVE or COPY function.  Sometimes we don't need all of the columns.  See my Wishlist Post here: https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/my-smartsheet-wishlist

I have set up this exact automation with the alert + move, but the alert does not work. Only the move.

Why?

Hey @Brian Rogers

There are a few possible reasons for this.

• Check to ensure your notification preferences allow alerts if you're the person that made the change

• Look to see if the alerts are showing in-app, just not in email
• If so, check to see if the emails are going into your Spam folder
