Workflow ideas

The workflow template gallery makes it easy to create workflows for common actions. The gallery includes tips on when to use the workflow and how to customize each template.

Here are a few examples:

Use this template

To do this

Alert someone when specified criteria are met

Let someone know you’ve assigned them a task or changed a date

Remind someone on a specific date

Remind stakeholders as critical dates approach

Request an update every week

Collect weekly status reports and keep projects up-to-date

Move a row to another sheet when specified criteria are met

Automatically move rows to another sheet when something changes, like when a task is completed, a status is updated, or a team is assigned a new task.

These examples are just a starting point; you can customize each template to meet your workflow scenarios. To get started, in the upper-left corner of your sheet, selectAutomation>从模板创建工作流.
