Item lives on multiple boards

@Tshoxoma Welcome to the Monday Community!

The ability for Mirror columns to be used in Automations have only recently been added, but its still a limited feature.

There is a simple workaround that I currently use for multiple automations identical to yours! You will need to install the app General Caster from the App Marketplace. It works similar to the formula column except it process outside of Monday and send the results to basic columns. So in this case, you will have the Integration send the email from your Mirror column to a text column of your choice and then you can use the Text column in your automation!

Hope that helps. If you need more info or help to set this up, just let me know!

I think the workaround suggested by Andrew could also be achieved with the VLookup app as well.

Let me know what the formula would be to do this with General Caster, please!

@zacheryy

If you are just casting an email from a Mirrored column to a Text Column, the formula field only needs to consist of the columns General Caster placeholder, no functions required.

There are three ways to refer to columns:

  1. {pulse.columnId}
  2. {item.columnId}
  3. {item's Column Name}

Hope this helps!

Hi @zacheryy – I am having some trouble figuring this out, but it’s exactly what I need!

I am trying to go from [mirrored column that includes an email] → Text Column copying that email into text form

Should I use the {item.columnID} here?

Thanks @PolishedGeek for your suggestion I was using Caster but starts o be complecated if many boards and they do not answer emails. So found a good solution vlookup but something is not working, maybe it is not possible.
I have:
board 1: customers
board 2: service requests (linked to board 1 customers)
board 3: offered services (linked to board 2 service requests)

I want in board 2 and 3 the email of the customer (not mirrored because i want to use it in the email item view)

In board 2 it works, but in board 3 it doesnt. I have tried using as source board 1 and 2 but does not work. Maybe board 2 can not be at the same time a source board and a target board?

Thanks in advance if anyone can help

Hello,

I know there was some talk about this before, but is there any update or time-frame about this topic?
This would be huge improvement for functionality of platform, and allow for building more “natural” boards, instead of duplication of information on multiple boards and workflows as a “workaround” for lack of this feature.

+1 on this requested feature.

Hey!

Thanks for bringing this up! I see that the request for Automations to support mirrored columns has been passed already. I have added the request for integrations to support this as well.

I am unable to offer an accurate time frame because there is a large backlog of requests, but these features are in mind.

@ErickE-monday.com thanks for your feedback, one question, do you know when the mirror and rollup features will be working when you link to multiple boards? The app says that will be ready soon, this is a needed feature. With this we need to improve the link method with the possibility on linking to groups or entire boards.

Hi @rodrigo.roha

No update from our product team as of this moment, the request has been placed in their backlog and is still under consideration. We appreciate you checking it!

Hi Eric,

Looping back to see if this is anywhere on the roadmap? We’re demoing Monday and this is already seeming like a feature that would be huge for us.

Thank you!

This is an important feature

Any more news on this? I started to start a topic an realized this was already a big one… I’m lazy so just copy and pasted my original idea…

It would be incredible to build automations based on mirrored columns. As an example, let’s say someone changes the status of a project from “planned” to “needs review” in a low level board and that information is mirrored on a high level board that is showing a stage gate process. It would be very nice if that mirrored status on the high level board could automatically be moved into the next stage of the process through the mirrored status column. I hope that makes sense.

Hi all,

We are apologise for the delay in responding to this thread! We are working on improving our responsiveness to the community, particularly our feature request process so appreciate your patience in advance!

On that note, as we pull together all the votes associated with this topic, we would love if you can redirect the votes on this thread, to the primary thread (most voted) here, if it isn’t too much trouble - About the Link & Mirror function , as we plan to close this thread so we have all the votes in one, and can better prioritise this feature request based upon the total amount of votes :pray:

Thank you!

I’d like to be able to trigger an automation using a mirrored column. For example, to notify when a mirrored date arrives, or to move an item when a mirrored status changes.

I like that I can put information in one place and see it everywhere I need to, but where I no longer have to enter duplicate information I now have to put in some extra leg work checking and moving things manually.

I 100% support this. It would be incredibly helpful if this had to ability to notify someone within the board the mirrored column is present when a change occurs and such
