Getting Started

Getting Started

TL;DR: New to Subitem Automations? You're in the right place. In about 5 minutes you'll have the app installed, understand what you can build, and have your first two automations running. Used by 25,000+ teams on  monday.com .

What you'll learn in this section

  • How to install Subitem Automations from the  monday.com  Marketplace and add it to your first board
  • The two highest-impact automations to set up first (used by 37% of all customer accounts)
  • How to build any automation from scratch using the Automation Center
  • What permissions you need (and how to fix it if creation fails)

Recommended journey

Follow these in order — each one builds on the last:

1. Install the app (~3 minutes)

Get Subitem Automations installed in your  monday.com  account and add it to your first board.

2. Set up the two essential automations (~5 minutes)

The fastest path to value. Two recipes used by more than a third of all accounts — they replace the most painful manual subitem work.

3. Learn how to set up any automation (~5 minutes)

Once you've tasted the magic, this is the general how-to for creating any of the 100+ recipes available.

4. Bookmark this for later — permissions reference

You probably won't need this if you're an Admin or Member with edit access. Bookmark it for the rare case where automation creation fails — it walks through the three permission levels in  monday.com .
