Propagate a monday.com timeline slip across linked boards

When a monday.com item's timeline end date moves later, it follows cross-board dependency connect-columns and shifts linked items on other teams' boards.

  • OutputLog change to central tracker boardmonday.com

What it does

This workflow propagates a schedule slip across team boundaries in monday.com. When an upstream item's timeline ends later than planned, it reads the dependency connect-column to find linked items on other boards and shifts their timelines by the same amount so each team sees the new reality.

When to use it

Reach for it in organizations where each team owns its own monday board but work is chained across them, and an upstream delay needs to surface on partner boards automatically instead of through status-meeting surprises.

How it works

  1. 1A monday webhook fires when an item's Timeline column changes.
  2. 2A logic step calculates the slip and ignores pull-ins or no-ops.
  3. 3The workflow resolves the dependency connect-column to linked items on downstream boards.
  4. 4Each linked item's timeline is shifted forward by the slip, preserving its original duration.
  5. 5The change is written as a row in a central cross-team tracker board for an audit trail.
