Referring to columns in a formula
Insert columns with the column button; typed references like {item's Status} or {pulse.Status} don't work.
In the formula editor, monday.com shows a column as a label such as {item’s Status}. Behind the label, General Caster receives the column’s ID, for example {pulse.status} or {pulse.numbers3}.
Always insert columns with the column button
A reference typed by hand, such as {item's Client} or {pulse.Create Date}, contains the column’s name instead of its ID. General Caster can’t find it and stops with:
The formula refers to {pulse.Create Date}, which is not a column of this board.
To fix it, open the automation, delete the reference and insert the column again with the column button below the formula editor.
The same message appears if the column was deleted after the automation was created.
Other values you can use
| Reference | Value |
|---|---|
{pulse.name} |
The item name |
{board.name} |
The board name |
{group.name} |
The item’s group |
{user.name} |
The user who installed General Caster |
Extra braces
{{pulse.text}} (two pairs of braces) is not valid. Keep exactly one pair around each reference.
