How do Monday.com Triggers Work? (Coming soon)

Monday.com triggers are event-based and near real-time.

  1. Choose a trigger (e.g., New Item in Board or Column Value Changed).

  2. Apply filters (board, column, group) to narrow execution.

  3. Test the trigger to fetch live sample data.

  4. Use dynamic fields (item name, status, owner, dates) in downstream actions.

Recommendation

For Column Value Changed triggers, always apply column-specific filters (e.g., Status = Completed) to avoid unnecessary executions when unrelated fields change.
