Hello,

Is the email notification through the automation criteria only available to recipients with Smartsheet accounts or to anyone whose email address was entered in the recipient field?


Thank you.

    Hi,


    You can send notifications to any valid email address. If you're planning to send alerts or reminders with a link to the sheet, the user will not be able to click the link and access it if they do not have a Smartsheet account and not shared to the sheet.

    Thanks,

    Thank you for your prompt response. This was very helpful.

    I do have one more question. If I included a "published" link that allows access to anyone in the link in the email notification, can someone without Smartsheet access this link thru the email?


    Thank you again.
