Can monday.com change a task's status automatically when the tasks it depends on are done?
Описание и применение
В monday.com существует предустановленный шаблон автоматизации, который меняет статус зависимого элемента, когда статус его предшественника меняется. Однако он не поддерживает условие «все предшественники завершены» и не может отправлять уведомления напрямую. Для уведомлений нужно добавить отдельную автоматизацию. Шаблон работает только с одним столбцом Dependency и не поддерживает многослойные доски.
Задача
When a task’s predecessors finish, can monday.com automatically move the next task to “Working on it” and notify its owner?
Результат
The pre‑built recipe allows a status change on a dependent task when any predecessor changes to the trigger value, but it cannot enforce that all predecessors are done, nor can it send notifications directly. Separate automations are required for notifications.
Рабочий процесс
- Create a board with a Dependency column.
- Add a status column (e.g., Status).
- In Automations Center, search for "dependency" and select the template "When a status changes to something, change the status of its dependency to something."
- Fill in the blanks: status column, trigger value (e.g., Done), Dependency column, new value (e.g., Working on it).
- Save the automation.
- Test by marking a predecessor Done and observing the successor’s status change.
- If notification is needed, add a separate automation: "When Status changes to Working on it, notify Person."
Доказательства
In the automations center, searching "dependency" finds one pre-built template: "When a status changes to something, change the status of its dependency to something."
monday's automation builder doesn’t support the Dependency column.
The Dependency column itself only moves dates, never statuses.
You can’t build anything else from scratch: monday's automation builder doesn’t support the Dependency column.
