Hi,
I have an automation that has a set up that I can’t get to work. Essentially what I am trying to do is look at a Monday board’s items, if an item of the same name is present, then create a subitem inside of it. If it is not present, then create a new item with the name, and create a subitem inside of it.
The way I am trying to do it is to list all of the board’s items, and then have a router. The first branch has a filter to see if the item is present on the board, if it is, then it creates the subitem inside of it, and I set a variable to true. The second branch is the tricky part. My initial solution was to get the variable from the first branch, and if it is not true, then carry the automation forward. I then placed an increment function to make sure the multiple items from the board list don’t get through, only one. And then this triggers modules to create the new item and subitem.
The problem is that because the filter that looks for the item in the board has to cycle through multiple bundles, it sends the bundle to the second branch without it processing. So ideally I could solve it if I could funnel all of the bundles to the first branch first, and then all of the bundles to the second branch afterwards. But I can’t work out a way to do this.
I also think there may be a simpler solution, so if you have any ideas please let me know. I have attached a screenshot of the automation to give you a better idea of how it works.
