Confirmation of Automation Email Needed - Proof

jennytracy · 11/04/19

I am trying to prove that the automation workflow alert that was set up actually sent out to one of my users. I can go to the View HIstory section of the Control Center intake sheet, but it does not show proof of who received the automation. Is there a way to see how the system interacted as a way to prove that the automation did actually work?

Thanks for your assistance!

Hi Jenny,

It might be possible with Event Reporting Add-on. Is that an option?

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic week!

It would be great to be able to see the history of automation/workflows right within the settings of said automation/workflow. I have to be honest, if this would require another add-on I would be disappointed. It seems to me that the automation/workflow engine should be able to write to a history log just like the Activity Log does for activity in the sheet.

YES! we need this functionality. I can go to test my automations all i want, but if a colleague says that he/she is not receiving the automations, I can't know for sure. There should be a log of sent automations/notifications.
