Pre-fill Dropdowns from Smartsheet Bot

The main purpose of dropdowns is to define a list of values that a recipient can choose. When you manage a large number of documents, the work with picklists can be quite challenging. Manual creating of values each time you build the form or changing them waste a lot of time.

Now you have the solution. With airSlate and our software robot, you can connect it with a Smartsheet to share sheet data to a dropdown.

Still, you may need some time to build tables. The main difference is the opportunity to create or even edit lists in seconds.

You don’t need to start a new Flow to make any modifications (changes to documents after the first completed Revision are restricted). Since both services are online solutions, you will be able to edit tables with dropdowns from any place without any additional software as long as you have the Internet.
