Automation: Trigger "Update Request" when changes are made by specific person

Jeffrey Chau

Hi,

Is it possible to send an automated update request to a specified person(i.e. person A) when values in the data sheet is changed by another person (i.e. person B) ?

Different users may change the values in the data sheet but I only want to trigger the update request when changes is made by person B, any ideas?

Hi @Andrée Starå ,

Yes that helps! Thanks.

To bring this further, actually is it possible to trigger the request update only if the specified person has made changes on certain selected rows?
