Double Brackets not working on Send Email?

I am attempting to use the 'Send Email' function and including fields in the email subject and body. I have attempted using the double handle bars but am not seeing the expected results. Any suggestions on what I may be missing?

Hi,

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment when you use the send feature (it only works in Automation), but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic day!

Best,

You can use placeholders in Automated Workflows. More information about how to do that is at the following link: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/2477796-dynamically-add-cell-data-in-the-subject-and-body-of-request-messages

You can even set up a Workflow that will send an alert when you do something simple like check a box in the row which may be a similar experience to using the "Send..." menu item on the row - but hopefully it is even better!

If Automated Workflows won't work for your specific use case I'd love to learn more about why not and how we can improve it.

Adding attachments to a generated document.
I’ve created an automation that generates a document and forwards it to the individual specified in a cell. The line item also has several additional attachments associated with it. Is there a way to include those attachments with the generated document?
How to copy row values and not formulas
I have an automation set up that copies a row to another sheet each day. The automation itself works correctly, but the problem is that it copies the formulas rather than the values, which causes the formulas to break and return errors. How can I configure it to copy only the values instead of the formulas?
