When I delete a person from the system (end of contract), is the person that also deleted from all the automation rules?
- I get a large number of messages that a "workflow has become invalid".
Thanks for any advice.
Hi Victor,
No, they aren't deleted from the automation but depending on your Automation Permissions (Restricted, Limited, Unrestricted) they could still be part of the automation and receive alerts/actions.
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic weekend!

Thank you for your quick response.
To me this sounds like a bug .... When I delete a person from the system, I want to have them deleted entirely. After deleting I would not like to change all the automation manually for all the rules the person appears.
Or am I not getting it?
Happy to help!
I can understand that but because the permission can be set to send to anyone that's not part of your account it can't be deleted and also you might want to change them to someone else.
A possible enhancement could be to have an option when deleting the person to remove them from all Automation as well.
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.
What do you think?

I'm new to smartsheet and I was wondering the same questions as Victor, so is this issue still persistent or has it been resolved by smartsheet?
Hi @Andrée Starå! I'm also curious about this, also. I don't believe it has been resolved. At the very least, is there a way to see what sheets and automations the user is connected to? This is also an issue when someone is replaced. Is there a way to update an old user with a new one?
Hi, I am wondering if there is a solution for this scenario: I have a Data Shuttle data upload workflow to a Target Sheet that is updated when a new attachment is added. Question: is there a function/features/workaround like Data Shuttle, Bridge, or a combination of features so that if a new column is added to the Excel…
I have downgraded to business but no longer have access to my sheet,i get an error 48,get licensing? How do I fix this? This is a customer contact form so i cant recreate it as the email has been sent?
I have been given access as an Admin to edit an existing sheet but cannot edit columns. I am a System Admin. I am a paid Member. I am able to edit information in the sheet but cannot add a column.
