How to Use Easy Mirror Column

Overview

Easy Mirror Column helps you copy values from Mirror Columns into supported monday.com columns.

This is especially useful when other automations depend on mirror values that may not be immediately available due to processing delays.

Step 1: Install the App

Install Easy Mirror Column from the monday.com Marketplace.

After installation, the app's automation recipes will become available in your monday.com account.

Step 2: Create an Automation

Open your monday.com board.

  • Go to Automations.
  • Select an Easy Mirror Column automation recipe.

Step 3: Configure the Recipe

Select the following options:

  • Source Mirror Column
  • Target Column
  • Delay (Optional)

Save the automation after completing the configuration.

Step 4: Run Your Workflow

Whenever the selected trigger occurs, Easy Mirror Column will:

  • Wait for the configured delay (if specified).
  • Read the Mirror Column value.
  • Copy the value into the selected target column.

Why Use a Delay?

Mirror Columns, Formula Columns, and Connected Board data may require a few seconds to update after an automation starts.

Adding a delay helps ensure the latest values are available before copying them.

This significantly reduces the chances of empty, outdated, or incomplete values being copied into your destination column.

Common Use Cases

  • Copy Mirror Column values into Text columns.
  • Copy Mirror Column values into Number columns.
  • Use copied values in additional automations.
  • Improve workflow reliability.
  • Prevent missing values caused by processing delays.

Troubleshooting

Mirror Value is Empty

Increase the configured delay by a few seconds and test the automation again.

Automation Did Not Run

Verify the following:

  • The automation is enabled.
  • The source Mirror Column exists.
  • The target column is supported.
  • The trigger conditions are met.

Incorrect Value Copied

Confirm that the Mirror Column has finished updating before the copy action executes. Increasing the delay usually resolves this issue.
