If I change an item, which in my use case are the details of an event, how can I send an SMS to the “people” assigned to the event? I can SMS them when added to an event but not sure how to notify of changes…
Hello @mufland !
Do you really mean SMS or an email/monday notification?
The latter two can be done by using an automation with the trigger “When column changes…”, or after you change the event details, you can make the trigger a button to notify the people assigned.
If you do mean an SMS, I would recommend the native Twillio integration, which is free and easy to use.
Hope this helps!

Giannis- thanks for the reply. If I set up the way that you suggest, would it not send a text any time I change any of the items in that column? I wish there was an automation for a row change instead of column.
I need the “people” on that row to be notified if I change the main item.
I have tried the Twillio automations but they are limited and I can’t figure out how to Twillio in a build-your-own automation scenario. Any thoughts?? Thanks again!

I understand your problems Mark.
The Twillio integrations, like all integrations natively provided by monday, are specific and cannot be altered.
Similarly,monday works per column, not per row.
That is the reason why I suggested a status column, with the intention that you make changes on an item, and then manually change the status column as a trigger for the Twillio SMS.
I appreciate the help! I decided to try two separate “people” columns as they have an SMS automation. Person assigned when event set up and then 24 hrs before event, “assign” them again with final details with changes? Any reason this might not work that I am not thinking of??
