General Caster is a monday.com app. It features a collection of powerful integrations aimed at giving more power to your boards and automating recurring workflows. monday.com already provides a Formula column, but it can't be to trigger additional workflows and populate dashboards data. General Caster merges the power of Microsoft Excel formulas with the usability of "real" monday.com columns.
Pricing is per-account. Monthly ops threshold is shared among all users in the same monday.com account.
Yes, you can. The number of users in the Pricing page is just for reference. For example you can freely purchase a Pro plan, suggested for a 50-user team, and use it in your 250-user monday.com account, as long as you stay below the monthly ops threshold.
You can change the plan whenever you want directly in the Monday Apps Marketplace.
The monday.com Apps Marketplace shows only the plan purchased thru monday.com, so if you purchased a plan on our website, monday.com Apps Markeplace will keep showing it as "Free". You can check your actual usage of General Caster by visiting the Console page.
A formula is an operation, a sequence of functions and logical operators. Providing some monday.com column values as input, General Caster calculates the result of your formula and casts it into a "real" column, getting rid of the now-useless and limited Formula column. General Caster supports the same syntax used in Microsoft Excel, so you won't be disoriented.
An operation is triggered by an event. The event can be the creation of a new monday.com item or the change of a column value, you choose it when you add a new General Caster integration to your boards. Please, refer to official monday.com documentation for further details on triggers. Keep in mind that you could inadvertently create a loop adding two "when a column changes" integrations that trigger each other, reaching quickly and uselessly your monthly ops threshold. Choose wisely the fittest trigger and test your workflow before going live.
General Caster free and paid plans offer limited monthly ops thresholds. You probably reached 100% limit of your plan. General Caster sends a monday.com notification when you reach 90% and 100% limits. Visit the Console page to check your usage stats.
