Hi! 👋
I’m trying to achieve two automations, and I can’t figure out how to do them using native monday.com features. Maybe someone has a workaround or solution?
✅ 1. Automatically copy email from linked board
I have two boards:
- Subcontractors – contains a column with the subcontractor’s email address
- Projects – connects to Subcontractors using a Connect boards column and a Mirror column for the email
I want to send emails automatically to the subcontractor from the Projects board.
The issue is: I cannot use Mirror columns in automations , and I see no option to copy the mirrored email into a regular email column that I could use in email-based automations.
❓ Is there any way to copy the email value from the mirrored column into a real Email column , either via native automation or a workaround?
✅ 2. Use the
end date
of a Timeline as a deadline
I also have a Timeline column (start – end) in the Projects board, and I want to extract the end date and use it as a deadline (e.g., in another Date column, or for reminders).
I don’t see a way to do:
“When Timeline changes → set Deadline to Timeline end date”
Is there a way to automate this? Either with built-in automation, a formula, or via an integration like Make?
Thanks in advance for any tips or workarounds! 🙏
