Workflow: Repeat Email Address Instances

.Elliott.

I have a column where there are 20+ instances of the same email address. If I create a workflow which sends an alert to all contacts in that column, will it send the alert 20+ times to the same email address? Or does SmartSheet have a failsafe which will only send the alert to that email once?

Hi @.Elliott.

I hope you're well and safe!

They'll be collected in one email, depending on whether you're using the Placeholder feature.

Placeholders will generate separate notifications when using placeholders with Alert or Update Request actions in change-based workflows if six or fewer rows are triggered simultaneously. The custom subject and body will be removed if seven or more rows are triggered at once.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!
