How can I automate task assignments based on item status in Monday.com?

I want to set up automation that assigns tasks to specific team members when an item’s status changes. For example, if the status changes to “In Progress,” it should assign the task to a designated person. How can I configure this within Monday.com?

Hi,
You would need to configure this in Monday.com by creating a custom automation that triggers when an item’s status changes to “In Progress.”
Basically add a status column called “Type” (or any name you prefer) and then set up a custom automation where the condition is based on the change of status to “In Progress.”

Hi, to set up an automation in monday.com that assigns tasks when a status changes, go to Automations > click Create a custom automation, and choose the trigger “When status changes to.” Select the status column and set it to the desired status (e.g., “In Progress”).

Then, choose the action “Assign person” and select the team member you want to assign the task to. Once saved, the automation will automatically assign the task to the designated person whenever the status changes to “In Progress.”

You can use one of the automation templates! Each automation has a trigger , condition , and action . In your case, it might look something like this:

  • Trigger : When status changes to “In Progress”
  • Action : Assign to person
