We badly need your feedback (especially after what we just shipped)šŸ™

Let me explain why badly.
I’m a product manager on the team behind Smart Spreadsheet for monday, and recently we launched something new: :incoming_envelope:Board Email Reports.
After 20 user interviews, countless forum deep-dives, and hours spent exploring the marketplace, we identified a few core problems:

  • monday.com boards are dynamic and constantly evolving—which makes it hard to track what’s actually changed
  • The Activity Log is noisy and overwhelming—it’s tough to see how exactly your project deliverables evolved over time
  • The Updates section is where the real project status lives—but there’s no easy way to report on it, especially externally
  • There’s still no simple way to get a snapshot of your board at a specific moment in time
  • And perhaps most importantly: stakeholders outside of monday.com usually don’t want to proceed to monday—they’re unfamiliar with the platform and just want a clear, actionable update in their inbox:

Reflecting on these pains, we built Board Email Reports—an app that tracks board and item updates over time and delivers them in a clean, familiar format: an XLS report via email, no guest access needed.
BER status transition report (example)
What it does:

  • Shows how key project deliverables (column values) changed between the start and end of a selected period
  • Aggregates new, completed, or updated items so you can track project momentum
  • Highlights item-level updates so you can monitor daily or weekly progress
  • Makes progress easy to share with clients or teammates who aren’t in monday.com. But here’s where we’re stuck:

We’re not getting enough feedback to confidently move forwardšŸ˜“.

We’ve:

  • Reached out to users who installed the app
  • Contacted people who received reports (sometimes they’re different users)
  • Made improvements based on early feedback:
    • Clearer email subject lines
    • Included all the columns in the Item Created report with all the fields from a board:

But it’s still hard to tell:

  • Are we solving the problems the right way?
  • Did we miss something critical?
  • Are users not seeing value in reports like these?

So I’m turning to this amazing community.
If you’re a project manager, team lead, or operations person who tracks project changes over time—we’d badly need YOUR your feedback.
In case you are even up for :backhand_index_pointing_right: testing the Board Email Reports app, our team has a bonus waiting for early adopters—just reach out to our team to get it.
And if the reports don’t quite match your needs, let’s build the right ones together. We’re open to creating custom report solutions based on real-world workflows.

This is my first app launch, so any feedback—big or small—would mean the world.
Thanks for reading! I’m happy to answer questions or hop on a quick call anytimeā¤ļø.
