Hello, is it possible to alert someone multiple days within a project duration? Example: Projects have a duration of 3 months. Within those 3 months, I need to reminder alert every 21 days. Please assist. Thank you, Grace
Hi Grace,
You can set up a recurrence pattern.

Would that work?
I hope that helps!
Have a fantastic weekend!

Thanks Andree. Although it was not quite what I needed, it lead me to the right direction. I have several projects I am tracking and each one has a specific start date and needed alert every 21 days from each of those start date. Unfortunately the automation on the custom selection did not allow me to choose from the start date. My work around was to do it individual parent row and from there I was able to choose multiple alert dates.
Excellent!
Happy to help!
There's probably another way to make it work, but if this is working for you, maybe there isn't a need to change the workflow.
Let me know!
I am now curious of this second option Andrée. Would like to test out if it is a better option. Please assist. Thank you.
Ok. I'll get back to this post with the other option later this weekend.
I'd add a so-called helper column that would check a box when the date is today or later than today when looking at the project's start date.
We'd then set up the recurrence to be ever 21 days with a start from today and add a condition that checks if the checkbox in the helper column is checked.
Make sense?
Would that work/help?
Hi there, I have just recently worked with Smartsheet's Implementation team to build a Control Center Blueprint. The workspace that holds the solution is titled something very generic and I would like to rename it. Can I do that w/out breaking anything or what steps would I need to take to successfully rename it. Thanks in…
Hey, I've got a sheet, which is autopopulated as a source sheet to feed into DataMesh (which runs once every 24 hours). Once DataMesh has run, how can I auto-clear the rows in the sheet to avoid repeating this the next day? I have no use to keep the data and want to avoid clogging up the source sheet. I have tried…
