Using text building blocks within automation and update requests

Jörg Schmidt1

Hi,

I have built a sheet for lead management.

Now, I think about building another sheet where I put text building blocks with corresponding numbers inside that I can use within the automation process f.e. update requests.

text 1 = good morning

text 2 = thank you for your request

text 5 = please find attached ...

text 3 = kind regards

Preferably, I would like to set automation processes where I can say:

1) if there is a startup asking for a whitepaper or e-book Smartsheet sends text 1, 2, 3

2) if there is a private person asking for an offer - Smartsheet sends text 1,5,3

and so on.

Do you think this is somehow convertible ?

Hi @Jörg Schmidt1

This is definitely possible, if you only have a few outcomes you can use a formula to create the response in a cell that you can pull into a notification message.

This formula based on your example gives the above results.

=IF(AND(Enquirer@row = "Start up", Request@row = "whitepaper or e-book"), "Good Morning" + CHAR(10) + "Thank you for your request" + CHAR(10) + "Please find attached", IF(AND(Enquirer@row = "Private person", Request@row = "offer"), "Good Morning" + CHAR(10) + "Kind regards" + CHAR(10) + "Please find attached"))

Hope this helps

Thanks

Paul

Hi @Jörg Schmidt1

I hope you're well and safe!

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@workbold.com)

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!
