How do I assign a People Column using an email address?

I’ve been researching the community to figure out how I can assign a people column using an email address of a Monday user. I saw a post about using the VLOOKUP app, but I don’t want to pay for an app just to do this. Perhaps I missed a post, but hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Thank you!

Hello there @mdalzell,

You can use a mutation like this one:

mutation {
  change_simple_column_value(item_id:1122334455, board_id:1234567890, column_id:"people_1", value:"example@example.com") {
    id
  }
}

I hope that helps!

Cheers,
Matias

Thank you Matias. Is there a recipe or automation or app integration (e.g., General Caster or Autoboost) that I can use? I’m not an API programmer :frowning:

Hello there @mdalzell,

Sorry about that! Since this was in the Developers section, I thought you were looking for a solution using the API. I will change the section of this topic so that someone from the relevant team can help you with that!

@mdalzell - Autoboost has just that :slight_smile:
