Hey ​@CD2025,

Just checking in to see if you were able to figure out this workflow? From what I understand what you wanted to do, your workflow will look something like this if it’s smartsheet report row-

 


If you want to use a simple smart sheet row-
 



In the filter, you can filter for the checkbox as well for your particular sheet. Then in the Gmail action, you can map the items from the previous actions or trigger.

Hi ​@CD2025 

You will need to define more logic and outline a specific example for us to have context.

 

Try these Zap steps:

  1. Trigger: ???
  2. Action: Outlook - Create Draft Email

Troy, 

 

My plan was to have a column in Smartsheet with an checkbox button, once the action button is clicked on multiple rows. I want to place the information from those rows into the body of the email.

Thanks,

@CD2025 

Your requirements are still vague.

 

You can review the available Smartsheet Zap app triggers/actions here: https://zapier.com/apps/smartsheet/integrations#triggers-and-actions

 

Trying to use data across Smartsheet rows is going to be more advanced.

You will need to use a common field value across those rows.

 

Zap action: Smartsheet - Find Row

See if there is a config field setting to return multiple rows.

 

 

Otheriwse, the solution may involve using the Smartsheet API: https://developers.smartsheet.com/

Zap action: Smartsheet - API Request

 

Plus, you will likely need Zap steps to format the returned Smartsheet data before adding it to the email body.
