Automations right now are single focused. Having multi layered/outcome automations. We use this in other systems to route the right actions based on specific criteria. I believe that a decision tree within automations would be a great resource to make this happen.
Absolutely, that makes a lot of sense. Single-focused automations can be limiting, especially when you’re trying to handle more complex workflows. Introducing multi-layered outcomes through a decision tree sounds like a smart move—it gives the system the ability to adapt based on specific conditions, just like we see in more advanced routing setups. Even something as simple as a flip a coin logic could be used creatively here, especially when multiple valid outcomes exist and you want to add a bit of randomness or distribute actions evenly. A well-structured decision tree could really take your automation game to the next level.
Hello! Shannon here with the monday team. Following up on this feature request! Yes, while board automations are single-focused, a new feature was launched this past year to address this gap for users: monday workflows. You can read more about it here: What is monday workflows? > And how does it work?
This feature is only available to users on the Enterprise Plan tier, but it allows users to build out a tree of automated actions and build in conditions or delays! Let me know if you both have any additional questions.
Workflows only partially solve this problem. Readers may want to upvote the related feature request:
