Out-of-Office Auto-Reply on @-Mention
“If the @-mentioned user is out of office, post a threaded reply and notify the author”
Tired of @-mentioning a teammate on monday.com only to find out three days later they were on holiday the whole time? This recipe watches every update and reply on a board and instantly checks the @-mentioned user's Working Status. If they're out of office, it posts a threaded reply right under the original message and pings the author with a heads-up — all within seconds.
Demo
Use Cases
Stop messages going unanswered for days when the recipient is on annual leave
Automatically alert the author so they can re-route the request to someone available
Keep board discussions tidy with a single threaded reply instead of repeated chases
Real-World Example
Sarah is on holiday for the week. A teammate @-mentions her in a project update asking for sign-off. Within seconds, this action checks Sarah's Working Status, spots she's out of office, and posts a threaded reply under the original message — plus pings the author with a Monday notification so they re-route the question to her cover. No three-day silence, no chasing. Native integration with monday's built-in Working Status (no extra setup — your team just toggles their own status as normal), threaded replies to keep conversations tidy, smart self-mention skip, multi-mention handling ("Sarah and Mark are out…"), and built-in dedupe so the same update never gets two replies.
