Please add an action: “Search Item in all Boards” in the automation recipe options to support the automation that when a new item is created, it will select all relevant boards to avoid duplication.
Here’s an example of the automation recipe:
-
First, create a new automation recipe by clicking on the Automation button in the top right corner of the board and selecting “Create Automation.”
-
Choose “When an item is created” as the trigger for the automation.
-
Next, select “Search items in all boards” as the action for the automation.
-
Choose the boards you want to search by clicking on “Select boards” and selecting the relevant boards.
-
Set up the search parameters by selecting the relevant column and criteria to search for. For example, you could search for items with the same name or email address.
-
Finally, add an “Update status” action to the automation to notify you if a duplicate item is found. You can choose to update the status of the original item or create a new one.
-
Save the automation recipe, and it will now automatically search all selected boards when a new item is created to prevent duplication.
