Clearing up your confusion about attachments and Smartsheet automations

Posted in

Ever been confused about when attachments are included with Smartsheet notifications and when they aren’t?

I sure was when I was learning. It’s a common point to get confused on because the Smartsheet automation builder can make it look like attachments will be included with notifications when they really aren’t.

The problem isn’t that you’re doing anything wrong, but that the automation builder isn’t clear and doesn’t remove the option to “include attachments” as a field, even though it won’t actually send them out.

In play #5 of my free 5 Plays from the Smartsheet Guru Playbook course, I clear up the confusion and show examples of when attachments are included and when they aren’t.  And, I of course have a recommendation for how to include them all the time if you wanted to with an integration.
