Preserve specific email address in a Workflow rule in a Template

Allow for a Workflow saved in a Template to preserve any rule configured to be sent to a specific email address (as opposed to a Contact list column) when the Template is used to create a new Sheet.

This way, you won't have to re-enter the specific email address in the workflow each time the Template is used to create a new Sheet.

Workflows in Smartsheet

Comments

Hi @jillcet

I hope you're well and safe!

Great idea! That would be a great addition to Smartsheet features.

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

Add a so-called helper column (Type: Contact) with a formula that fills in the contact, make it a column formula, and then reference the column in the Workflows Contact List.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic weekend & Happy New Year!

Best,

Sheet Icon Color Consistency
The 'Sheet' icon appears purple in the left navigation but blue within the sheet, creating inconsistency. Aligning icon colors across the platform would improve clarity and simplify user training. Please standardize the icon color to enhance user experience and reduce confusion during onboarding.
