Automations Not Working in Monday CRM? Here’s How to Fix Common Triggers & Errors

 

You’ve set up your Monday CRM board, mapped out your workflows, added automation, and hit save — only to come back the next day and realize… nothing happened. Yep, automations not firing is frustratingly common — but also totally fixable. Let’s break down a few common reasons your automations might be acting up (or not acting at all) and how to troubleshoot them like a pro.

1. Check the Trigger Conditions

This might sound basic, but double-check the “When this happens…” part of your automation. Sometimes, if a status column isn’t updated exactly as expected (like from “Working on it” to “Done”), the automation won’t trigger. Precision matters.

2. Missing or Renamed Columns

If you deleted or renamed a column that your automation relies on, it’ll break. Monday doesn’t always alert you immediately — so head to your automation center and look for red warning icons or broken recipes.

3. Board Permissions & Integration Access

Automations involving integrations (like Gmail, Slack, or Outlook) won’t run if the connected account was disconnected or permissions changed. Re-authenticate the integration or reconnect your apps to get things flowing again.

4. Automation Limits

Yes, Monday has limits — especially on free or lower-tier plans. If you’ve maxed out your monthly automation actions, they’ll stop running silently. Head to the “Admin” section to check your usage.

Side note: We’ve all stared at a board thinking, “Did I break it?” Don’t worry — it’s not just you. Even seasoned users hit snags.

5. Use the Audit Log or Automation Activity Log

Head to your board settings and check the “Automation Activity Log.” This is like your CRM detective — it shows whether an automation tried to run, failed, or skipped. Super useful for diagnosing what went wrong.

Final Tip: Start Simple

When in doubt, simplify. Test your automation logic with a basic setup. Once it works, build it out gradually. You’ll save hours of debugging.

Remember, your CRM should work for you — not the other way around.
 Still stuck? Sometimes, a fresh pair of eyes (like a CRM consultant) can make all the difference.
