Hi,
I have an automation like this
“When an item is created in Client board → create an item in Main board and connect them”
Then I map the columns.
In the Main board I have two text columns:
-
Pulse_ID→ gets the item id correctly -
Board_ID→ always stays empty
So the item ID is transferred correctly via the mapping, but the board ID is not.
Right now I have to fill the board ID manually for each item, which is very time-consuming and defeats the purpose of automation.
My questions are:
-
Is this expected behavior? (i.e. board_id is never transferred in this kind of automation?)
-
Is there any supported way to get the board ID directly inside Monday without external scripts?
For example:-
a formula
-
a function or system field
-
a native integration
-
a view/app/column using the API but still running inside Monday (no external code execution)
-
I’m not a developer and I want to keep the solution inside Monday only (no external Python/JS scripts).
It seems like something simple because the board ID is visible in the URL, but I cannot find any way to retrieve it automatically in a column.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated — thank you!
