Monday's App payload returns the *current* status column value instead of the *previous* one

Hi everybody,

We are developing an App which returns a Status Column to its previous state without creating an infinite loop (can happen when an integration/automation changes status X to Y and another integration/automation changes status Y to X).

We managed to do it as an integration because when we use the receipt as an integration Monday’s payload sends us the correct previousColumnValue (from the receipt action).

However, when we use it as an automation (by checking the Enable to Publish option in the Workflow Blocks) we get the current status (not the previous).

Are we missing something? or is it a potencial bug?

Thanks.

Hello @EyalSeagull,

I was missing the part in which this does not work for custom automations using the action by itself.

Can you please send us an email to appsupport@monday.com so we can take it from there?

This might be a bug and it is best if we treat this as a ticket so we can open a report about it.

Looking forward to hearing from you over email.

Cheers,
Matias
