Make scenarios for Monday.com

There is a lot of cool stuff Make can help you do.

To start, check this one out. This tutorial shows you how you can use Make to easily sync two date columns to update dates for pulses on monday.com. 

But, here we thought we would take it a step further.

1. Update a “due status” column based on another status column

So, let’s say you have multiple pulses on a board and you want to organize multiple different due dates by done, overdue, upcoming, and due today. 

Make allows you to use routers that help you to branch out your bundles of data to do multiple actions like this at the same time. 

In the scenario below, you can easily organize the due dates for your pulses. It will update a “Due Status” column based on another status column and the pulse’s due date. 

This will show you if a pulse is done, upcoming, due today, or overdue.

To create this scenario, simply set up the search module, List pulses on the board or in the group. It will then pass on all the pulses in the board or group through a router that will divide the pulses from “Done” and “Not Done” by using a filter. 

If “Done” it will update the status to “Done”. If “Not Done”, it will then go through another router and filter between “Due Today”, “Overdue”, or “Upcoming”. 

Set the scenario to run every morning and have an up-to-date list of pulses that are finished, overdue, or still in the upcoming pile. 

2. Send Monday.com updates to Slack 

Following these actions, you could take the scenario one step further and send those that have pulses due today or have overdue pulses a friendly reminder through Slack. 

Simply add the Slack module, Create a message after the monday.com modules, and update a status column’s value with the filter “Due Today” and with the filter “Overdue”.

To get your feet wet with this scenario, you can start with a compact version of this here. 

As you can see, Make makes it easy to accomplish your monday.com tasks, so you can continue to work how you were meant to! 

And, to get started with any of these scenarios you just have to make a quick connection between Make and monday.com.
