I tried to use checkbox to activate the Workflow (when Check-box was ticked, the update request would be sent). Is there any way to cancel the Check-box (eliminate the tick) after the update request was completed.
Thanks!
Hi Ye,
How would you want to use it? What's the use case?
I might have a solution.
I hope that helps!
Have a fantastic day!

Thank you for the reply.
I want to use it to update item information.
I plan to make a mark in the row that need being updated with Check box (change to Checked), and sending update request to contacts, but I am looking for some ways that can change the check box to unchecked after the upgrade request was completed.
Or can we solve it in other ways?
Thank you very much!
Happy to help!
Will it always be the same field(s) that needs to be updated.
Are they empty before the request?
Will anything change on the row after the request is sent?
It is always the same field, but different rows for different suppliers.
It is an item list. Sometime, I need supplier to update the item information, so I would send update requests to different suppliers. Check-box can help me to know which one should be updated, or I can use other symbol.
My thinking is that when I clicked the check box (Change to checked) or symbol, the update requests would be sent to suppliers. When suppliers filled out the request form (update request was completed), the check box or symbol will change back.
I don't know if it works.
I think we could make it work with the third-party service, Zapier, or with so-called helper columns.
We would either need to have a specific column that always gets updated but only through an update request or check all columns that could be updated with a formula and use that to reset the checkbox column.
Would that work? Is Zapier an option?
Excuse my interrupting you!
Did you mind teach me how to write the formula? Such as when a column was changed, the checkbox would be reset. Or when the update request was completed, the checkbox would be reset.
I tried to find information on the internet, but no tutorials were found.
Can you share the sheet(s) and I'd be happy to take a look? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)
We changed from an enterprise licence to specific accounts. I have a licence and setup a workspace for our global team to edit and collaborate across various sheets. I granted editor can share rights to all non licensed members and shared the publish link with them. This has worked well and allowed them to edit cells,…
This is pulled from a column of responsible person. Why does it display email and not name. How do I correct?
Hi! I have a sheet that has two form that feed into it. This is to report on Closures due to Staffing, Weather, and Facilities. One team submits closures for Staffing and Weather, while another team only submits Facilities. When I created this set up I have it so the one team gets asked "Reason?" then they can select…
