When creating a board, create a link to that board

Hi,
My issue is a bit hard to describe,
I have a checkbox column that if it changes, a board is being created.
Our team is creating many different boards through a main board of activities.
The new boards list is getting longer, and it is somehow difficult to find a board one has created a few days or weeks ago.

I’m trying to find a solution for that.
I thought that it would be great if we could add a column in the main board, which has a link to the new board that was opened through the checkbox column.

Does anyone has an idea how to do that? of has another solution for our problem?

Thank you for your help.

Hey Liam,

Boards will have a url with the below structure
https://[YOUR_DOMAIN].monday.com/boards/[BOARD_ID]

You can use something like make.com or possibly monday’s workflows feature to pull the check for boards created, pull the board id from the created board, and create a link in for the item that triggered the board creation.

You could also try,

  1. Create an new item in main board
  2. Create board
  3. Push item from main board to newly created board
  4. Use an automation to connect to the item in the new board from the old board.
  5. Mirror the board id? or board name from the connected item
  6. Use the formula column on the main board to create a link to show the board.

Other tools like General Caster can also help.

Let me know if you have any queries.

Thanks
Kofi

Thank you so much for your reply,
First I will try to make this happen with the steps you’ve suggested.
I’ll explain where I’m stuck:

  1. Create and new item in main board - DONE
  2. Create a board from template when I check a checkbox column - DONE
  3. I can’t push the item to that new board because that at the time of creating the automation, the new board from template does note exist.

Am I making myself clear enough? Can you understand where I am stuck?

Also, I’m updating that I’ve tried to create a workflow, and got stuck in the place… I don’t find a place where I can pull data from a new board out of template that haven’t been created yet.
If there’s a way, I would very much appreciate your guidance.

Thank you for your help!
