I’m wondering if there is a way to automate this workflow:
I have multiple brands in a dropdown menu. When a brand is added from the dropdown I need the item to duplicate to a connected board depending on the brand. For example: I have facebook, instagram, tiktok etc.
I currently have an automation running:
When brand changes > and only if brand contains one of these labels > duplicate etc.
And it works the first time great. I add facebook it duplicates the item to the facebook board
However if I add another brand like instagram, the automation runs for instagram and facebook. So now my Facebook board has two of the same item.
Is there an automation that exists that is something along the lines of
When {label} is added to {dropdown} > duplicate item to {specific board}
that is the tricky part with dropdowns - there is no specific out of the box trigger for “dropdown label added”. As such what happens is: any change in the column field results in a trigger for all added values which you flagged.
This can be solved with make.com as it would provide more options.
You can also solve it with a little re-structure: Status columns instead of dropdowns or checklist columns.
Alternatively you could also work with a button column and each time the button is pushed, the item would get duplicated in a certain board → however, that would also require you to add a button column for each channel.
