Notification not sent for some automations but some worked
I have set up automations to notify contacts where it is triggered by a change in row with condition(s). However some worked, and some did not. For those that did not work, there is no automation run failure alert. Can someone advise where have I not set up properly or not aware of?

Intermittent failure of selected Smartsheet automations
Hello, I am experiencing an issue with automations in Smartsheet. Some workflows continue to run normally, but others stop working intermittently even though they were previously functioning as expected.

Help I've tried all that I can think of.

Can automated email come from a specific email address?
We created a tracker for the Records Management team and need all emails coming from the tracker to come from the email address associated with the team. Is there a way to have all emails come from this specific email? I see options for the owner or from general smartsheet but not an option to have it come from a different…

Automation Issues - Values from Curly Brackets Not Appearing Correctly
Is anyone else experiencing this issue today (7/28/2026)? Every time an automated email triggers on its own today, whether it's a regular alert, update request, etc, the values that usually appear when the automation workflow includes a field in curly brackets (ex: {{First Name}}) appears as a weird alphanumeric value in…
