Need to create a new item in another board and put the updates

[hlopezvc (Hernan Lopez)]

Hi, we need to create a new item in another board and put the updates from the existing item (integration triggering item) to the new one, from a status column change (integration trigger).

We managed to do almost all this, but what is our pain point, we dont know how get the original item updates and put this values in the new one. Every original item will contain only ONE update, there will not be images or second updates, just only 1 text update.

We are using the next Make modules.

1. WEBHOOK (custom webhook)
2. JSON transform to JSON
3. MONDAY → GET AN ITEM
4. MONDAY → CREATE AN ITEM
5. MONDAY → CREATE AN UPDATE

I repeat, we managed to do almost everything except get the original update and put it in the new one created item.

@JCorrell please help!

@hlopezvc,

If I am understanding correctly, this is not currently possible to do directly. You could potentially add a step 3.5 to get the update then use step 5 to recreate the test of the update from 3.5.

You can use the app ‘update magic’ to do that. Copy the pulse with updates and move it to the other board.

Hi @hlopezvc,

We developed an app that solves this exact pain point of copying or moving updates of an item to another item in another board.

You can use either of these automation recipes:

Here’s a walkthrough video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/1cUxGWT-whQ

Hope that helps.
