Workflow not sending emails

✭✭
edited 07/22/24 in Smartsheet Basics

I have a very simple workflow that is not sending email when rows are added. I have been testing with me doing the entry and I don't get emails. My notifications and Automation Permissions are correctly set.

Can anyone provide insight or suggestions?

    Hi @Gary Norton

    Do you receive the notification in Smartsheet, or don’t you receive those either?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

  • Perhaps it was on the Smartsheet server side early Sunday morning it was not working but it is now.

  • HI

    I am having the exact problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am getting the alerts within Smartsheet but not the emails.

    Hi @Nataly Hart

    I answered in you other post. I've pasted the answer below.

    First, make sure that you have allowed yourself to receive notifications properly in your Personal Settings (circle/profile in the upper right corner) and secondly check the Permission setting for the Automations. (cog in the top right corner in the Automation overview)

    If the settings are ok.

    Do you get the email alerts for other notifications from Smartsheet?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic week!

  • I am getting this same problem. I have all settings set up properly to allow emailed updates, even when I make changes. I am receiving notifications within Smartsheet, usually, but no emails are going out to anyone.

    Hi @Daniel Pearson

    Have a look at this post for information on recent changes to email domains that might be why it is not working.

    Action needed: Add new Smartsheet email domains to your trusted sender list


    Did that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic week!

    I am having a similar issue..people are getting the alerts in smartsheet, but not the email.

    I have tried multiple initial Triggers "When rows are added..." and "When rows are added and changed."

    I have adjusted my ALERT SOMEONE settings for "SEND TO SPECIFIC PEOPLE" and to "SEND TO EVERYONE SHARED WITH THE SHEET."

    The only difference I can find is that those who have received the emails are EDITORS of the sheet. Those who haven't received the emails only have VIEW access.


    What am I missing, or is this a system setting depending on access type?


    Any help is appreciated!!

  • I have been having the same problem for a few weeks now. All of my permissions and notifications are set up correctly. I receive notifications in SmartSheet and on mobile, but nothing via email.

    I need to test the workflows to see how the notifications show up in emails.

    Any suggestions?

  • I am having the same problem. No emails are being sent. My permissions seem ok.

    @Gary Norton How did you solve it?

  • I am having this problem tonight, and it is so frustrating! Please help!
