Alert Someone Automation - Reference Contact In Summary Field

Randy Willey

When configuring an Alert Someone workflow and selecting "send to contacts in a cell", is it possible to reference a contact in a Sheet Summary field for the sheet? The drop down selection only shows contacts columns within the body of the sheet.

Hi @Randy Willey

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

• You can add a so-called helper column that references the Sheet Summary field and then reference the column in the Alert.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,
