What happens to my automation if I run out of rows?

ChrisMcG

Hey there! I am working with a large archival destination sheet: We haven't hit 20k rows YET, but it'll probably be coming this year.

The automation moves Completed rows from an active tracking sheet to the archive sheet- we keep that for a full accounting of these completed processes. But.... what happens when Smartsheet's row limit is reached? Does the automation breakdown? Or does it start replacing the "bottom row" every time?

Hi @ChrisMcG

I hope you're well and safe!

When you reach the limit of the sheet (not necessarily 20 000 rows), the workflow will stop working.

• I'd recommend adding a combination of an auto number column and an alert or multiple alerts when specific row numbers have been reached so that you can create another archive sheet or similar.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!
