How do i write a zap that does the following in monday.com. When a value of a column changes in one board, Find that same item in another board and update a column?

 

For example. In my sales pipeline when we change the hourly rate, we want it to update the hourly rate in our accounts board. 

 

NOTE* We do not want to use the ‘mirror’ columns available in Monday.com.

Hi @Eric.Darling,

Welcome to the Community! 🎉

Here is how I see the Zap for the workflow that you have in mind:

  1. Trigger: monday.com - Specific Column Value Changed in Board - Main Board
  2. Action: monday.com - Get Item by Column Value - Map the board ID of the other board
  3. Action: monday.com - Change Multiple Columns Value - Map the board ID of the other board

Would this help you out? Please let me know if you need more information or details regarding the suggested workflow.

Hi @Eric.Darling 

The Item ID field expects the Monday Item ID which is a number value as indicated by the 123 icon.

Hey @Troy Tessalone so would that final step (step 3) be pulling from the 1st board? (opportunities board)? I’m not sure I understand your answer.

@Eric.Darling 

Question becomes...in Step 3, are you trying to update the Monday Item from Step 1 or from Step 2.

Map the desired Monday Item ID (number) from the correct step to Step 3.
