Send automated alert when a cell changes from a specific value to a different specific value.

Emma Tiplady

Hi, I'd like to send an alert when a dropdown value changes from one value to another.

For example. I have a dropdown column of

Cat

Dog

Horse

I only want to send an alert when the dropdown changes from Dog to Horse.

I do not want it to send if it changes from Dog to Cat and I do not want it to send if the original value was Cat. Is this possible?

Thanks!

If you set a condition of Animal = Dog (using "Add a condition to filter rows") and then use

When Animal changes to Horse I think that should work ....

(the logic seems backwards, doesn't it? You tell the tool what the trigger is, and then tell it to apply the trigger to certain rows ...)

@Emma Tiplady did you ever get a solution to this? I'm looking to do the exact same thing and the suggestion above does not work for me.
