Why is parent row showing up in an automated notification?

trenner

I have set up a workflow to send a message (to a user specified in another column) when a particular column is set to the value, "Send". This is to happen when triggered.

The notification happens as expected and contains the custom list of columns I specified. However, the parent row is also included. I even tried adding a condition that would filter out the parent row, but that didn't help.

Any ideas as to why that parent row is included? And how can I get rid of it in my notification?

Thanks so much for your help!

What was the condition you used to filter it out? I would create a hidden column to indicate it is a parent row or just put an asterisk (*) on that primary field to filter that out as a condition.

I have a column in the sheet that indicates a row "category". When the parent row was showing up, I filtered on that category to see if I could get rid of it (since the parent row didn't have that cell filled in) and it was still there....didn't look any different.

@trenner - I realize this is old (from 2022) but I'm experiencing the same issue and cannot get the Parent row out of my notification. Did you ever get this resolved and if so, what was the resolution????

@trenner - I think I just found the answer….buried within an article.
