1. I have created an automation workflow with multiple condition paths. 2. Each condition path is to identify the certain key words in the respective contact a columns mentioned in it. 3. As an action replace the contact containing the key words by 'Action: assign a Contact'

@Tamal Dey How have you done that?
Hi @Lisa B 2022 , This doesn't work as you expect it to be, to be honest. In Smartsheet, an automation works best if the actions are affecting a single column. But sometimes I see changes in the other columns as well.
Anyhow, I feel this could be a bug, because when I reached out to support for enquiring why other columns are not impacting in a similar frequency as the one mentioned in the 1st conditioned. They asked me to create separate automation for separate columns.
@Tamal Dey thank you.. I cant see where I can add multiple conditions simultaneously?
@Lisa B 2022 You want to know how to create multiple conditions simultaneously?
If you click on the "+" icon in blue, you will get the dropdown list containing:
If you click on the "condition path", you'll be able to create a number of condition paths. I believe there is a limitation on how many condition paths you can create.
Oh dear god.. thank you.. i didnt even know this existed!!!!!!
Hey @Tamal Dey
Thank you for posting your idea! You're correct that currently automated workflows follow one individual path, and cannot trigger on all condition paths at the same time.
I like to think of it like Dominoes - once the workflow has found a path to go down (one of the conditions is correct), then it flows down that path and cannot come back up to trigger the next one, as it's already down at the bottom. Individual workflows is what I would suggest in this scenario as well.

I have a workflow with nearly 40 automations, half of which are email-based requests for updates with various sets of triggers. While I know the automations work, due to months of testing, when our system went live to the institution, I became very worried that the automations wouldn't run and I'd have no idea whether or…
Hi, I am part of a very large organization where hundreds will have Admin access to hundreds of Workspaces in order for them to contribute and make full use of Smartsheet features. Currently All Smartsheet workspace Admins receive Workspace access email alerts. Which means hundreds of team members will effectively be…
It would be useful if users who clicked a Dynamic View link (that they were not previously added to) could "request access" to the Dynamic View, and provide a reason, so that the admin can easily grant that access. The use case for me would be to avoid having to pre-populate and then maintain a user group of viewers, but…
