Need help with Automation receipe regarding duplicating Subitems

Looking for assistance on building a custom automation recipe. I’m able to duplicate a Subitem row, but need the Subitem to have the same item name. For example, if I have a Subitem called “ABC Project”, when the Status is marked Complete, add a new subitem called “ABC Project”. All the Subitem names will be the same as the Main Item name. Trying to accomplish a new row being automatic and the SubItem name being pre-populated. I have one recipe that working close to this, but it add “(copy)” behind the item name. Didn’t know if there was a way to customize to work around this. Thank you for any suggestions!

Hi @GLG ,

You can use Make.com for this automation

  1. Watch Events Module: Connect the link address with a webhook on Monday.com. Set up an automation where when a column changes to a specific status, it triggers a webhook. This webhook will retrieve details of the subitem whenever its status changes to “complete.”

  2. Get an Item: Retrieve the subitem using the pulse ID from the previous module. This step provides all the values within the subitem.

  3. Create a Subitem: Generate a new subitem by mapping the same values retrieved from the previous subitem. Use the item ID obtained from the previous module as the parent ID for this new subitem.

Hey @GLG

We developed an app called subitem automations that provides robust automation capabilities to subitems. Here’s an example of how you can use it to manipulate subitems’ names based on their parent item name →

A different option is to leverage the status column to create subitems with that name →

You can find it in the monday.com marketplace in the platform or here - monday.com: Apps Marketplace

Hope that helps!
