Tracking when automation fires off

jmo

Hi team - I have a workflow to request an update from people assigned an action item on a sheet.

My automation is set to go off every Monday morning at 1000 CST.

Is there a log that shows that the automation actually fired at the prescribed time?

I looked at the activity log but it only tracks creation and modification of automation.

Thanks.

Hi @jmo

If you're sending an Update Request, then there's a log you can access from the right panel of the sheet:

This will show the Row Number that was sent for an update, the Status, who it was sent to, and the date that the request was sent (but not the time). Will this work for you?

Cheers!

I should have been clearer in my question - I understand how to track the update request when you do it/them by line.

But is there a way to track when a workflow kicks off and was sent to the specified users? Like if it fires daily, is there a log to show that it successfully fired off each day at the desired time?

Hi @jmo

I hope you're well and safe!

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

Please submit this as a Product Feedback or Idea (If it hasn't been added already) when you have a moment.

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

• Add a last step to the Workflow and register a date or something similar.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,
