Auto assign board owner based on people column

Hi @Rosina_Ankomah - At this time there isn’t a way to set who the owner of a board is via automation. The owner will always be set to the owner (creator) of the automation.

What we have done in the past is create a separate account to run the automations (like a bot account) and set the automation ownership to that account (if you have a spare license). Also, make sure that when you create the new board via automation to ideally have it set to a main and not private (if that works for you permissions wise). Then the admins on your account can set the proper ownership when they are notified.

Board ownership can be set in your monday settings > Admin > Users > Automation Ownership Tab:

There may be ways to set ownership via outside tooling such as Zapier and Integromat… Maybe not the answer you were hoping for but I hope this helps!

Thanks,
Mark
