Is there a way to easily “ask for an update” from the item or board members on an item. Other than actually writing an update that says ‘please provide update…’
Hi @deena !
You can do this with a status change! If you designate a label in your Status column to saying “Needs Update” then you can create this really cool automation:
Here you would choose that label from the Status column, write the message that would show up as a notification, and then you can choose to notify someone based on the team, people column, or even a single person every time. My favorite is to use a people column so that it notifies the correct person that is assigned to each item.
Hope this helps!
Thanks Jailyn!
Is there a way to do that within the update button? Like a quick button that adds an update to an item saying “what’s the update on this?”
Actually solved this with adding column of a button, and set automation that when hit button message of asking for an update is added as update to that item. Thanks @JulieLucidDay 
Actually you could just hover over the Person in the People column and when the window pop up you click on ask for an update. That way you can do with two clicks.
