AutoName Documentation

Automatically generate item names from column values using customizable templates.

Getting Started

1. Install the App

Install AutoName from the monday.com marketplace. After installation, you'll find it in your board's app panel.

2. Create a Template

Click "New Template" and enter your naming pattern. Use {column_name} syntax to reference column values.

3. Enable Automation

Toggle the template to active. Item names will update automatically when column values change.

Template Syntax

Templates use curly braces to reference column values. You can combine static text with column references.

Examples:

{status} - {name} → "Done - My Task"

[{priority}] {name} → "[High] My Task"

{person} | {date} | {status} → "John | Dec 1 | Working"

Available Placeholders:

  • {name} - Original item name
  • {status} - Status column value
  • {person} - Assigned person
  • {date} - Date column value
  • {priority} - Priority value
  • {text} - Any text column
  • {number} - Number column

Formulas:

Apply transformations to values:

  • UPPERCASE({name}) - Convert to uppercase
  • LOWERCASE({status}) - Convert to lowercase
  • CAPITALIZE({text}) - Capitalize first letter
  • TRUNCATE({name}, 20) - Limit to 20 characters
