OR Logic Support in Automation Conditions

Description

I would like to request support for OR logic within automation condition builders.

Currently, automation conditions only allow AND logic between fields. This creates limitations when trying to trigger actions based on multiple possible criteria — for example, when any one of several required fields is empty. In these cases, users must rely on complex workarounds such as formula columns or multiple duplicate automations, which adds maintenance overhead and reduces clarity.

A native OR condition option within the automation builder would:

  • Reduce the need for formula-based logic workarounds
  • Simplify automation setup and maintenance
  • Improve error handling and validation workflows
  • Allow more advanced yet intuitive conditional triggers

What are you trying to achieve

Trigger Actions When Any Condition Is Met

Instead of only allowing actions when all conditions are true (AND), I want automations to trigger when at least one condition is true (OR).

Example use case:

  • Notify a user if any required field is empty
  • Flag an item if Budget OR Timeline OR Scope changes
  • Escalate if Status = Stuck OR Priority = High

Currently, monday only supports:

  • Condition A AND Condition B AND Condition C

You want:

  • Condition A OR Condition B OR Condition C

Hi @Mappsters, Welcome to the community!

Great suggestion!

If you’re on a Pro or Enterprise plan, you can use the Workflow Builder to achieve this, as it allows you to create branching logic.
