Being interrupted with a constant stream of notifications can often derail productivity. After a notification forces a worker to switch between tasks, it can take them about 23 minutes to get back to the task at hand, according to Harvard Business Review. It can be challenging for teams to weave through the noise and make sure they are paying attention to the key information related to their work. Use these four tips to help improve your experience with automated alerts and requests from Smartsheet: 1. Personalize the Frequency 2. Add Context to Subject Lines 3. Only Include Relevant Fields 4.
