Can monday.com change a task's status automatically when the tasks it depends on are done?

说明与用途

monday.com 提供了一个预构建的自动化模板，当前置任务状态改变时会更改其依赖任务的状态，但无法保证所有前置任务都已完成，也无法直接发送通知。需要单独添加通知自动化。该模板仅支持单个 Dependency 列，且不支持多层级板块。

问题

When a task’s predecessors finish, can monday.com automatically move the next task to “Working on it” and notify its owner?

结果

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.

工作流

• 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."

证据

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.
