Hey! Great question about Monday.com workflows and mirror columns.
Short answer:
No, currently you cannot use mirror columns as triggers or conditions directly in Monday.com automations/workflows. Mirror columns reflect data from linked boards but are not considered actionable data in automations.
More detail:
Mirror columns display data from linked boards and can include formulas like “sum of” linked columns.
However, Monday.com automations (workflows) typically don’t recognize mirror columns as trigger or condition fields.
This means you can’t set an automation condition like “When mirror column value is greater than X” or “If mirror column sum equals Y” directly.
Workarounds:
Use a Numbers/Formulas column on the main board instead:
Instead of relying on mirror columns, create a Numbers or Formula column on the board where the original data lives. Then use that column in your workflow condition.
Use integrations or apps:
If the logic is complex, you might use Monday Apps or external tools like Integromat/Make or Zapier to monitor mirror column values and trigger actions accordingly.
Manual sync or automation on source board:
Sometimes you can set up automations on the source boards (where the original % values are) to update a helper column or status that then triggers workflows.
If you want, I can help brainstorm a specific setup tailored to your boards. Would you like to share more about your board structure?
Hope that helps, let me know with a like or reply if you want more support
