What is your goal?
Trigger Make scenarios when specific Monday.com subitem columns change, and target selected subitem columns only.
What is the problem & what have you tried?
In Monday.com, subitems are heavily used for time tracking and cost breakdowns.
In Make, it is currently not possible to reliably trigger a scenario when a specific column of a subitem changes, nor to target only selected subitem columns in triggers or actions.
We have tried:
Native Monday triggers
Watching the parent board
Watching the subitems board
Filters inside scenarios
None of these solutions allow clean, column-level control on subitems.
The only workaround is using complex GraphQL API logic (webhooks, polling, data stores), which adds unnecessary complexity for a very common use case (billing, approvals, time tracking).
A native solution would greatly simplify real-world business automations.

Hi @Isaac_Ste-Marie ,
You can handle this directly from Monday.com by using its native automations. Monday allows you to create automations that trigger when a specific subitem column changes and send the required data (for example, via webhooks) to Make for further processing.
Additionally, Monday.com provides the option to select specific subitem columns, so you can target only the columns you need.
To configure this:
-
Log in to Monday.com and open the required board.
-
At the top right, click on Automate.
-
In search bar search for webhooks.
-
From the automation templates, select the one that matches your requirement (as shown in the screenshots).
- Paste the Webhook URL copied from Make’s Make.com → Watch Events module.
- Connect and proceed with further configuration as needed.
Please follow the steps shown in the attached screenshots for reference. Once this is set up, it should help you achieve the required behavior and resolve the limitation you’re facing in Make.
