Auto Update Request based on email contained in a specific column

John Ligda

I have a sheet of 30 rows and would like to send daily email Update Requests based on an email in one of the columns. These people are not in my contact list.

 

Is there a way to 'bulk' issue this command for all 30 plus rows or do I have to issue 30 commands.

 

Hope this makes sense.

John,
I don't think it does this, but here is my comment from a similar thread called "Alerts on Tasks". It seems like many of us are looking for a similar feature.

 

This was the first question I asked one of the representatives after using it for a while.  It is not currently possible, but hopefully if they have enough requests they'll prioritize it.  What I want it to to is essentially generate update requests based on filters or parameters similar to conditional formatting.  For example it would want it to run something like "Send update request to Assigned To on every friday at noon for all tasks with a status not equal to Complete."

Hi John,

 

As Matt put it, we currently don't have a way to send Update Requests based on the an email address in the sheet grid but I've got your vote down for this feature (and Matt's) on our enhancement request list for further consideration by our Product team.

 

Thanks!

Add my vote too!  This is so helpful we can do this on Alerts now, but we need it for Update Requests too.
