Is it possible to send ONLY an attachment as an alert?

Hello,

Is it possible to send only an attachment as an alert WITHOUT the link to the sheet?

I need to send them the file but do not want them to see or have access to the sheet at all.

Please help, thanks!

  • Asper my understanding Attachments cannot be sent as an alert as of now.


    whereas you can send the fields detail in email body, but it will contain the link of the sheet. you don't need to give the user access to the sheet.

How exactly is your Data Shuttle set up? If it is set to replace everything in the sheet when it runs, it is deleting the cell being referenced by the widget and then putting new data in new cells.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":321,"name":"Smartsheet Basics","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/smartsheet-basics%2B","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[{"tagID":292,"urlcode":"Dashboards","name":"Dashboards"},{"tagID":474,"urlcode":"data-shuttle","name":"Data Shuttle"}]},{"discussionID":108213,"type":"question","name":"How to spread costs evenly across months, if they fall within those dates","excerpt":"I have various financial line items that span different dates.

You would use the below for Jan 2023 and adjust the month and year numbers accordingly for each of the other months.<\/p>

=IF(AND(MONTH([Start Date]@row)<= 1, YEAR([Start Date]@row)<= 2023, MONTH([End Date]@row)>= 1, YEAR([End Date]@row)>= 2023), [$ per month]@row)<\/p>"},{"commentID":387901,"body":"

Lets try a different approach.<\/p>

=IF(AND(VALUE(YEAR([Start Date]@row) + IF(MONTH(Start Date]@row)< 10, \"0\", \"//www.santa-greenland.com/community/discussion/96111/\") + MONTH([Start Date]@row))<= 202307<\/strong>, VALUE(YEAR([End Date]@row) + IF(MONTH([End Date]@row)< 10, \"0\", \"//www.santa-greenland.com/community/discussion/96111/\") + MONTH([End Date]@row))>= 202307<\/strong>), [$ per month]@row)<\/p>


<\/p>

Basically we are creating a yyyymm stamp from the start and end dates and comparing them to the yyyymm stamp for that year\/month combo. The above is for July 2023 (202307).<\/p>"},{"commentID":387906,"body":"

Hi Candace,<\/p>

The answer is YES. You can use \"Send as Attachment\" feature in the File menu of your sheet to setup the schedule for your need. You should be a licensed user to use this feature as well (I remembered that). <\/p>

Hope this works for you.<\/p>
