Formula Column Change Trigger
“When a formula column's calculated value changes”
React to any change in a calculated field — scores, ratings, totals, anything.
Demo
Use Cases
Log changes to a calculated risk score on an audit board for compliance tracking
Notify account managers instantly when a customer tier recalculates from spend data
Keep a master dashboard synced whenever a project health formula updates
Real-World Example
A customer health score is calculated from usage data, support tickets, and renewal date. Whenever the formula result changes, the trigger fires and creates a log entry on a separate audit board — building an automatic history of account health over time.
