Hello Monday Community,
I am working on a custom solution whereby my client does not want any third parties in their Monday application.
REQUIREMENT
Notify a person from a Mirrored Person-column when a status changes automation.
It seems this feature is still not supported out of the box. What would be the best approach to tackle this?
Hello @brian.maina
You’re right. Automations can’t trigger from mirrored columns, including mirrored Person columns.
Best option is to sync it into a real column:
Add a normal Person column.
Use board-to-board automations to copy the value from the source board into that column.
Trigger your notification from the real Person column.

Which product (CRM/Work Management, etc) and level (Pro/Enterprise) do they have?
Hello @Desiree McCarthy
They are on CRM on the PRO plan
Gotcha, then yes what was said above is correct. You’ll basically need to add a ‘helper’ column in the board you want it to trigger from. Then use a template automation to update that status when the mirrored status changes. Then an automation to notify a people column from the change in the ‘real’ column.
Thank you Desiree
appreciated
