Turn formula results into status changes. Automatically.
The monday.com formula column is powerful — but it stops short. It calculates beautifully. Days between dates, fuel usage, budget variance, percentages — the formula column works it all out. But then the result just sits there.
1. You can't trigger anything from it.
2. You can't change a status when a number crosses a line.
The insight is on the board, but it doesn't do anything.
SimplyTrigger fixes that.
SimplyTrigger adds a simple automation recipe to monday.com's native automation builder. You set a threshold on any numeric formula column — and when the formula result crosses it, the status changes automatically.
How it works:
Open your automation centre, choose the SimplyTrigger recipe, and set your rule: when a formula column is greater than, greater than or equal to, equal to, less than or equal to, or less than a value you choose, change a status column to the status you want.
That's it. It lives inside monday.com's automation builder, so it feels exactly like a native automation.
Key features:
- Works with any numeric formula column on your board
- Five comparison operators for precise threshold control
- Change any status column to any status value
- Unlimited automations — no per-board caps, no feature gates
- Built entirely within monday.com — no external servers, no data leaves the platform
- Native automation builder integration — nothing new to learn
Perfect for:
- Flagging overdue or at-risk items based on calculated dates
- Fuel, budget, or usage monitoring against thresholds
- Travel and booking limits — trip duration, length of stay
- Any workflow where a calculated number should drive a status
