Notification - Alert the person in the cell

Aylin Turan

Hi Team, can you help me finding the correct automation setting to alert (only) the person in the cell. I can choose specific person but not related to the a cell. Can I do this? Below a screen of what I mean. If the box is ticked - the line manager who is in that cell should get a notification. Thanks for you help :)

Hi @Aylin Turan

I hope you're well and safe!

Have you double-checked that the Column Line Manager is set to a Contact Column Type? (you can Double-click on the column name to see what type it is)

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic day!

I agree. This leads me back to my first question as to whether or not the Line Manager column is a Contact Type column?

Is the Line Manager column set as a contact type column?

Hi Paul, i only have these options.

Paul Newcome

Right. SO when you click on "Send to contacts in a cell", is the Line Manager column an option?

I do not have the option :( Something related to the user rights?
