How a Bridge workflow functions
Bridge workflows are like the workflows in the Smartsheet app. They start running once they detect the triggers you identified. Then, a series of actions will happen based on the conditions you set.
然而,工作流并不局限于交流的桥梁tivities happening within the Smartsheet app. They can be more complex. You can connect Bridge workflows with different platforms outside Smartsheet to complete your business processes.
Here are some use cases for Bridge workflows.
Example 1: Project routing
Trigger a Bridge workflow when a new project is created in your project-tracking system. Use Bridge to:
- Assign the project to the appropriate and available team lead, based on the project type
- Create a project in your time-tracking system
- Send personalized project kick-off emails to project stakeholders
Potential integrations:
Example 2: Expose comments
Monitor high-level status of projects or jobs. Create a Bridge workflow that alerts you and sends you the most recent row comment in a cell on the row.
Required integration:Smartsheet
Example 3: Weather updates
Connect Bridge to a weather-alerting service to get real-time weather warnings. When an alert occurs, Bridge can access your project management tool or a sheet in Smartsheet where you track the location of projects and construction staff present. Once Bridge identifies those in the impacted area, it can pass on the warning to them.
