I don’t have an immediate solution for you, but I did want to highlight a few methods for troubleshooting that have been successful for diagnosing issues with automations for me in the past.
First, some basics (so forgive me if you know/did this
). Clear your browser’s cache and do a hard reset. Some instructions for doing that here.
Similarly, try logging out of your monday.com account and then back in.
To continue to diagnose, you can see an event log of automation activities to see if monday had an error. More on that here. Navigate to the item and click “Automations Activity”
This list of actions will show a “filed” status if there was an issue.
If there is no failure, you can try this next:
Delete the automation,
Repeat the hard reset/clear cache, and/or log out and back in
Re-make it the automation
Test again
If that is still not working, try creating the same automation outcome using a different formula. Like, notify Devin first, then set status.
Give some of those a try, I hope this helps
Best

Thank you so much for this. I will try it, however my concern is will I have to do this across my 40+ boards, and once it is set up how do I know it will work properly going forward?
You are dealing with either 1) a bug which should not affect the whole monday instance and be resolved by clearing cache etc, or 2) you are configuring the automation in an ineffective way and would need to revise any other boards using the automation once you resolve the issue with the recipie.
Once you get a sense of the issue you will be able to decide if you need to re-configure all automations, or if this was just an error on this specific instance.
