Guide

Install the app, add an automation to a board and choose the formula and the column that receives the result.

Every General Caster recipe, when it can run, which plan it needs, which columns it can write into, and how to write into a column of another board.

Quick answers about plans and billing, using General Caster and the most common problems.

Which emails we send, who receives them, and how to stop product news.

Insert columns with the column button; typed references like {item's Status} or {pulse.Status} don't work.

How a General Caster formula is written: values, operators, conditions, errors, text and numbers, and the step-by-step style.

Join, cut, search, replace, clean and format texts; read a field from a long text; regular expressions.

Arithmetic and rounding; totals, averages and counts of several values; totals of subitems and mirror columns; running totals; shares of a group or a board.

How dates reach the formula and how to write them back; dates in words (DATE.WHEN); adding, counting, start and end of periods; working days and public holidays by country; formats in your language.

Columns with several values as lists: split, count, filter, sort, look up, calculate on every item, join; tables of items with their columns.

What each column type gives the formula; the item itself; connected items, subitems and mirrors; people and teams; every item of the group or the board; keeping every item up to date.

MONDAY.CURRENCY converts an amount from one currency to another at the latest daily rate; the currency block does it from one column to another.

ADD_DAYS, FORMAT_DATE, HOURS_DIFF, WORKDAYS, MINUS and the other Formula column functions work in General Caster too, plus regular expressions.

Every function General Caster knows, by topic, with the page that explains it.

A value of the wrong type was used, most often an empty column or text in a calculation.

What to check when a recipe doesn't do what you expect, and what each General Caster message means.

The formula uses a function that doesn't exist or a column reference that was typed by hand.

The column chosen to receive the result was deleted; choose it again in the automation.

Each column type expects its own format: dates as YYYY-MM-DD, timelines as two dates, statuses and dropdowns as existing labels.

General Caster needs access to the workspaces of the boards it works on; deleted or moved items also cause "not found".

Generate a barcode or a QR code from a formula and upload it to a File column or to the item's updates.

Turn the position of a Location column into a map image with a pin, uploaded to a File column or to the item's updates.

Change a Numbers column by a fixed amount each time a status changes: counters, stock, scores, attempts.

How many calculations your plan includes, when the credits renew, how to follow your usage and what happens when they run out.
