Hi All,
I might be missing something, but I want my reoccurring update requests to automatically stop sending when the activity they relate too reaches completion.
Anybody know how to do this?
Appreciate any guidance you can give me.
Mike
Hi Mike, It would be helpful if we knew how you set up the recurring update. Did you do it through the alerts and notifications or did you do it through the row options?
Hi Mike,
I haven't had time to test this out but maybe it would work with the new lock row functionality.
Set a rule that when it's 100% lock the row and that will probably stop the update request because nothing can be changed anymore.
I hope this helps you!
Best,

Hi Mikey,
If you're using an automatic update request, try adding a condition to your rule that will only send the update request when % complete is < 1 (which means less than 100%, as percentages are treated as decimal values in Smartsheet).
Hi Shane,
This is a great idea but, I don't see anywhere that I could enter a rule. I can set a reoccurring update request for weekly and for Monday and for a given time. But, I don't see where there is an option to add a condition or rule.

I think that I would need to upgrade to automated actions to be able to do what you suggest and add a rule or condition. I'll have to investigate the associated cost to see if it is worth it.
Thanks again,

Hi Jerry,
You're correct in that you may need to upgrade—automated actions is available for Business and Enterprise plans only.

I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
I am extremely frustrated and disappointed with my current Smartsheet experience. I have paid for a Pro subscription, I am the owner and administrator of my account and sheets, and I have confirmed I am logged into the correct account. Despite this, Smartsheet is not recognizing my Pro subscription, and I am unable to…
