Hello, is it possible to alert someone multiple days within a project duration? Example: Projects have a duration of 3 months. Within those 3 months, I need to reminder alert every 21 days. Please assist. Thank you, Grace
Hi Grace,
You can set up a recurrence pattern.

Would that work?
I hope that helps!
Have a fantastic weekend!

Thanks Andree. Although it was not quite what I needed, it lead me to the right direction. I have several projects I am tracking and each one has a specific start date and needed alert every 21 days from each of those start date. Unfortunately the automation on the custom selection did not allow me to choose from the start date. My work around was to do it individual parent row and from there I was able to choose multiple alert dates.
Excellent!
Happy to help!
There's probably another way to make it work, but if this is working for you, maybe there isn't a need to change the workflow.
Let me know!
I am now curious of this second option Andrée. Would like to test out if it is a better option. Please assist. Thank you.
Ok. I'll get back to this post with the other option later this weekend.
I'd add a so-called helper column that would check a box when the date is today or later than today when looking at the project's start date.
We'd then set up the recurrence to be ever 21 days with a start from today and add a condition that checks if the checkbox in the helper column is checked.
Make sense?
Would that work/help?

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…
