Automation
I have a sheet which has all of the training details of people who work for us. Previously I have set an action every week to email people whose certificates have expired to remind them to send me their new certificates. I want to use the new automation function to do this for me, however I can't see how to trigger it...?! Currently it is triggered by date, but the weekly option is disabled if I try to select that on a new rule. Can anyone help...?

Hi Kirstine,
If I understand you correctly, you'd start the Workflow with another Trigger and then select Run Workflow: Weekly.
Please see attached screenshot.
Would that work?
Have a fantastic week!

Hi Andrée,
Thanks for this. Do you mean that I just use a trigger and then force it to 'activate' (by changing a cell for example), at which point it will just start running once a week from then on?

Hi Andrée,
I've trialed this using the hourly option to my email address but it just sends it once...?

I've figured this out myself now!!
Make the Trigger *When a date is reached* then use the *Run once* dropdown to chose *Custom*.
This takes you into a Custom Recurrence menu, where you can set the details of the reminder!

I was going to suggest this, but I see you already figured it out. Excellent!

I misinterpreted your question!

I can understand that... I'm a very confusing person! Sorry to baffle you!

Haha!
I meant that it was me that got it mixed up with the new Automated Workflows.
The important thing is that you got it working!

No, it currently isn't possible to share the Data Shuttle workflow configuration with another account. The set-up for that workflow is associated with one account. (Please let our Product team know of your feature request by filling in this form, here!)<\/a><\/p> That said, many team members will be able to trigger<\/em> that workflow, depending on what that trigger is. For example, if the workflow is based on an attachment, any user can upload the attachment for the workflow. Does that make sense?<\/p>
