OVERVIEW

The only monday.com app that makes formulas trigger automations.

monday.com's formula column computes values but can't trigger automations — so teams build fragile helper-automation chains that break, eat quota, and are impossible to debug at scale.

Formula Trigga attaches formulas directly to classic columns (text, numbers, dates, status, and more). When the formula writes a result, monday.com treats it like any manual update — automations fire naturally, no workarounds needed.

Subitem formulas can reference parent columns with a simple {Parent's Column Name} syntax. Formula Health View monitors every formula on your board and catches missing columns, circular dependencies, and quota warnings before they cause downstream failures.

FEATURES

What It Does

  • 57 formula functions — date, math, text, logic, and constants — same syntax as monday.com's native formula column

  • 8 target column types — Text, Numbers, Date, Status, People, Long Text, Email, and Dropdown

  • Subitem parent references — use {Parent's Column Name} to access parent data in subitem formulas

  • Formula Health View — monitors all formulas for missing columns, broken configs, and quota warnings

  • Batch calculation — apply formulas to all existing board items at once with progress tracking

  • Autocomplete formula editor — column names, functions, and syntax suggestions as you type

  • Data stays on monday.com — no external storage, no third-party servers, nothing leaves the platform

USE CASES

Who Uses It and How

  • Monday Admin / Workflow Builder

    Tasks need auto-prioritization — IF({Priority} = "Critical" AND {Days Overdue} > 3, set status to "Escalated") — and that status change must trigger a Slack notification

    Result: One formula replaces a chain of helper automations. Status updates trigger notifications automatically — no workarounds.

  • Project Manager

    Every task needs a deadline calculated from start date plus estimated duration — ADD_WORKING_DAYS({Start Date}, {Estimated Days}) — and overdue dates must trigger reminder automations

    Result: Due dates calculate automatically in a Date column. monday.com automations fire on the date, sending reminders without manual intervention.

  • Board Power User (Subitems)

    Subitems need to inherit their parent's project type and client name — {Parent's Project Type} and {Parent's Client} — to filter and report across the board hierarchy

    Result: Parent data flows into subitems automatically. No manual copying, no mirror columns, no sync automations.

  • Operations Manager

    A new formula needs to be applied to 2,000 existing items on a board that's been running for months

    Result: Batch calculation processes all items with progress tracking. No need to touch each item manually — the formula applies retroactively.

HOW IT WORKS

FAQ

Common Questions

How is Formula Trigga different from monday.com's native formula column?
monday.com's formula column computes values but cannot trigger automations. Formula Trigga writes results to classic columns (text, numbers, date, status, etc.) that automations already watch — so your calculated values trigger notifications, status changes, and integrations automatically.
Will Formula Trigga conflict with my existing automations?
No. Formula Trigga writes to classic columns, which your automations already watch. It integrates seamlessly with your existing automation setup — no reconfiguration needed.
Can subitem formulas reference parent item data?
Yes. Use the {Parent's Column Name} syntax to reference any parent column in subitem formulas. For example, {Parent's Status} or {Parent's Project Type}. Changes to parent values automatically recalculate subitem formulas.
What happens if a formula breaks or a column is renamed?
Formula Health View monitors all formulas on your board and detects missing columns, circular dependencies, orphaned configurations, and quota warnings. You'll see issues before they cause downstream failures.
What counts as an automation execution for billing?
One formula calculation triggered by a column value change equals one execution. Batch calculations count each item processed. You can monitor quota usage in real-time with warnings at 75% usage.
