Hi

Would it be possible to add the functionality of typing in the mail receiver in an automation? Today we are limited to either choosing users registered in Monday or pulling the adress from a mail column. Hopefully it would be something super easy to add, and i belive most Monday users would find use of this. “When item is created send mail to X”

I have several workflows where we plot information into Monday and some of these datas are supposed to go as a mail to an external supplier or collegue. Good example of this is onboarding/offboarding.

In our organization our HR department fills out a form with all the information different departments need to be able to complete their tasks when we have a new employee or someone has resigned.

When this happens tasks are created for each department inside of Monday, and there are several systems and licenses that are bought/cancelled via a simple mail to the supplier. This mail could be 100% automated on the background of the information in the form thus removing tasks we today do manually.

There are a lot of other scenarios where the possibility to set up an automation that always sends a mail on basis of form answers to a specific mail and i truly believe most Monday customers would find use of the function to simply state “When item is created send mail to X” where X is a field you can fill out.

why not use the “guest” or “team member”? this would answer your question no?

No, that would not solve the problem. Sending an email should be as simple as adding the email address in a To: field when setting up the email body. Sure, we can set up an external as a guest, but I don’t want him to even know that we use monday much less have access to it. I simply want him to receive an email with the info he needs.

Thank you!

I need this very thing, still unaddressed after all this time. I need an automation to send an email to the same non-human (In my case, to another Monday board) every time a status is set on my automated board. I don’t want to add a column to hold this non-human’s address, and I don’t know how to get my non-human to respond to an invitation so that he/she/it can have a selectable email address in my Outlook connection. How do I add a static email address (not a column, not a subscriber, not another account holder…) to an automation? Thank you, Kristoffer for bringing this up! I hope in the time since, someone has learned or created the magic that will get me over this hurdle.
