Auto-link App app consists of 2 integrations you’ll need to install on a source board  and Target boards for logging source board activity (New items, Item edits, deletions and additions) – and a board view that is installed on the target board for mapping auto-links between boards. Once integrations is installed and columns are mapped, columns on the source board will be automatically linked to the columns on the target board.

The app is always free to auto-link a column between two boards. Once you decide to use it for more columns and boards you’ll need to purchase a monthly subscription.

Small team and NGO pricing are available. Contact us for more details.

No. Columns auto-link does ONE WAY linking between Source board and target board. Any change in the data in the target board will trigger an action that will result with fetching the source data back to the target board.

Make sure Auto-links integration is installed on your source boards  and target boards.

Source boards  are the boards you store the source data you want to link to your target boards.

Yes! Auto-link lets you link multiple boards data to one board and multiple columns data between multiple boards. For example, when you want to calculate the cost of human resource in a project you can pull cost per hour of people that participated in the project from one board and number of hours each put from another board.

When linking between status columns and drop down columns, these columns content is not reflected in the target boards unless you’ll recreate same statuses and dropdown items you have in the source boards.

To link Statuses and drop down lists you will need to create the same drop down or statuses in the target  board when you set-up the auto-links.

Sure. Don’t hesitate to contact us with any question using this form.

Yes. This is possible with VLOOKUP. Select the same board in the Auto-link editor to achieve that.
