Hello,
Here at my company the following automation was needed and it appears to not be available (yet?).
“When STATUS changes to SOMETHING
and only if item is SPECIFIC ITEM
then notify SOMEONE”
Workarounds are being used but this would be a nice option to have in the future.
Also, when changing the status of an item, is it possible to automate the change of a subitems status?
Thanks,
Jelle
Hi @AppManIDFA !
Welcome to the community! I am glad that you were able to find some work arounds for this! Something that we use for clients is have them use a dropdown or “back-end” status that would designate items that you would want notifications pushed for.
For your second question, unfortunately, monday does not have.a notification for that right now.
Hope this helps!
I’m trying to implement this same automation. I have multiple items of a specific name, and want updates when the status changes on those specific items only. What workaround do you come up with, if you don’t mind.
Hello,
I’d love more details on how to set up the work arounds for this, especially what you mean by a “back-end” status. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Josh
Well maybe workaround is not the right word, my colleague is doing stuff manually…

The commonly used solution is I think what jailynnlucidday may have been alluding to. Simply create an additional status column, let’s call it {Special}. Add a label to {Special} called “YES”. For any items that you want to be “monitored”, set {Special} to “YES”.
Once that is done, you can add a custom automation similar this:
This technique can also be adjusted to have more than 1 special type and can be used to do more that just notify. Some examples are:

Hi there,
I’m Josh Cruz, a Project Manager at DeltaPMO. We’re a project management consultancy firm and proud partners with Monday.com.
Guess what? We have joined forces with another innovative company and we are currently developing a brand new app for Monday.com. This app is designed to cater to your needs with a variety of recipes, actions, and triggers.
Imagine this: “If item A changes, item B changes too!” That’s the core workflow of our app.
We’d love to hear your thoughts on this upcoming app. Do you think it could be a game-changer for Monday.com users like you? Could it solve your problems or boost your workflows?
We’ve attached some screenshots below to give you a sneak peek of an example recipe and how it would appear in our app. Your feedback would mean the world to us.
And hey, if you’re as excited as we are and want to be one of the first to try it out, you can sign up HERE for our waitlist and get early access.
Looking forward to see some replies!
