Hi everyone,
We're putting together a stock sheet and we want to create notifications so that when a figure in a cell drops below a certain amount an email is automatically sent to the relevant people so they know to re-order.
Can anyone help please?
Many thanks!
Hi,
This can be do by setting a new Notification in the Alerts and Actions
you will need to specify the column that you and select is less than / less than and equal to. This will then send a notification to the contacts that select. I have added a screenshot so you can see how it is done.

Thanks for your help Dave, one question....
This seems to apply a rule for the whole column, can you set it so that it applies rules to individual cells.
For example in the 'quantity in stock' column I might want an automated email to be sent when cell G5 (brochures) is equal to or less than 20, however in cell G6 (user guides) I might want an email sent when it's equal to or less than 40.
Cheers!
The notifications are specific to the columns and are generated when the conditions in a row are met.
You can create more than 1 notification and add more conditions
Where Item equals brochure and quantity is equal to or less than 20
Where Item equals user guides and quantity is equal to or less than 40
Hope this helps
Instead of configuring a new notification for each row, you can create 2 extra columns, `Stock Warning` and `Warning`.
The Stock Warning column will be a number field where you set the quantity at which you would like to send the notification.
The Warning column will be a standard text field. This should be set to
=IF([Stock Warning]1 >= Qty1, "True", "False").
Then your notification can be setup as seen in the screenshot.
How do I see who submitted a form for a specific sheet?
Hi, I have a Gantt covering 500+ rows of events past and planned. I use it to predict and track values around these events. Using helper columns to identify the current week, I get an email report on a Monday that tells me the upcoming events in the current week (7 days) and their values. Currently if an event spans…
Hi Smartsheet Community, I'm working on an action management system where users create sub-actions through a Smartsheet Form. The requirement is simple: a sub-action's due date must be earlier than or equal to its parent action's due date. For example, if the parent action is due on June 30, 2027, users should not be able…
