    Automation: Attachment Added or Changed?

    ✭✭✭✭✭✭
    in Smartsheet Basics

    I am trying to understand how this works.

    I am working on an automation such as following:

    When Progress is "Update Needed" and attachment is added or changed, an approval request will be sent out.

    When I tick both When Attachment is "Added" and "Changed", I received 2 notifications.

    Is it because an attachment is added and when attachment is added, there is changes in "attachment", so I receive 2 notifications?

    When will I need to use "when an attachment is changed"?

    Trying to understand better.

    Thanks.

      When will I need to use "when an attachment is changed"? - My best guess is for revision control on this.

      As for both notifications it might be that its triggering 1 for the new or changed row and another for the new or changed attachment. I'm not 100% on it though. Figured maybe this might help get the ball rolling.
