How can I work around this issue.  My sheet is populating the "Contacts" via formula.  I want to trigger automated update requests but am running into issues since I'm unable to convert the column type to "contact" since it appears that Smartsheet doesn't allow this functionality.  Anyone have any ideas how I can work around this?  I'm wanting the sheet to automatically ping "carrier contacts" based on a few conditions but my carrier contacts are not in a "Contact' Column.
