Hi all ,
I would like to know , when I set a an alert so that an action must be triggered when reaching a certain date , at what time the action is actually triggered ? 00:01 ?
Thanks in advance .
Hi Alain,
If I understand you correctly, it will run at the time that you select from the list when you set up the Automation.
Have a fantastic weekend!

Hi ANDREE ,
Look at this formula : " IF([Due Date]1 = TODAY() + 3; 1; 0) " .
The formula is inside a check box cell ( column ) . As you can see , there is no time .
So my question is : " If the condition is met , at what time the cell concerned will turn checked ? " .
I hope it's clearer to you now .
Thanks .
It depends on what you've set the setting, Run workflow to. If it's when triggered, it will send almost immediately.
Make sense?
Andrée
Because you are using the TODAY() function, you will need to activate the sheet either by opening it or having a new form entry for the TODAY() function to update to today's date. As soon as the sheet is opened, the TODAY function will update and the box will change to checked.
It will register to run your workflow as soon as it is saved after the box has become checked. I can't remember the exact times, but I believe it usually takes no more than 15 minutes for the alert to be sent. I personally usually get it much faster than that, but I believe that's the amount of time Smartsheet has referenced in documentation.
Are you telling me that I have to define some settings ? How ?
Hi PAUL ,
Noted .
Thank you .
Happy to help!
I see now that I've misinterpreted your questions.
You want to know at what time the checkbox would get checked right?

I too misinterpreted. To answer the question of "What time will the box be checked?"...

Once the sheet is saved, the system will recognize the box as checked and run any workflows accordingly.
Hello, I'm working through the writing formulas optional activity and in the 'Nested IF function - Progress Column' task it directs you to put in the following formula '=IF([% Complete]@row = 0, “Empty”)'. However, when I put this formula into the spreadsheet, '04a_Marketing Request Tracker - Formulas', I get an…
I have an automation that has a condition where I am looking at the column "LEA Interco Supporting Site(s)" and trying to find columns that have the value "Fort Loramie" in them. This works well when "Fort Loramie" is the first item listed in the cell, but it doesn't work when "Fort Loramie" is the second or third value in…
Have any of you created a Smartsheet that would show the savings for a project by the month? In other words, if I saved $1200 annually and the project ended in say March, then the savings would go $120 per month, Mar 2025-Feb 2026. I have done it on Excel sheets manually, but I think there should be a way to do it with…
