Creating an automation between 2 boards

[hasayeret (Ro Ben)]

Hi everyone!
Quick question: I am trying to change a status column on board A when the status changes on board B.
I’ve created a connected board on board B, pointing to the column i need from board A.
I didn’t mirror anything.
However, I am unable to find the 2nd part of the automation (the first part i am able to find):

(On board B) When → Status changes → In Transit
(On board A) Then → Change column value → Status → Waiting for Part (on connected board)

In the 2nd, i cannot find the status column on board A, even though i connected the board. It only shows me the status column for board B.

Any idea??? Thanks!!!

You’ll need to use mirror columns. Then when you go to the automation center, you’ll need to use templates instead of ‘starting from scratch’.

Hey @hasayeret ,

You could also try the Mirror Item Multiple Boards app.

It allows you to mirror the same item to multiple boards with full sync.

Keeps your boards clutter free and easy to use without complex automations.

What You Can Do -

Add the SAME ITEM ON MULTIPLE BOARDS with live sync and full context

Sync UPDATES + REPLIES in real time for items and subitems

Set up automations like “When status changes to something, mirror item to target board and group”

Create a Master Board with items/subitems from multiple boards

Add a subitem from one board as a main item on another board

Keep your boards clean and connected — no Mirror Columns or Connect Boards needed

Hey @hasayeret

We’ve developed an app called Connected Boards Automations, which allows you to easily sync values between connected items. Here’s how it can be used in this case:

Sync values automatically →

Sync on button click →

This will allow you to update the status on Board A whenever the linked item on Board B changes, without needing a Mirror Column.

Also worth adding that it supports:

1. Syncing values between connected items (Status, People, Dates, Text, etc).
2. Automatically creating connections based on conditions.
3. Automatically removing connections.
4. Cross-board automations (trigger on connected board → action on current board)

You can find the app in the monday.com marketplace here:
