By Impran M N
Missed deadlines often come down to no one getting reminded in time. This guide shows how to configure automatic due-date reminders in Monday.com, from setting up date columns to using the Automation Center's pre-built recipes for relative-time alerts sent by email, Slack, or internal notification.
01Add a Date or Timeline column
Configure the deadline column your reminders will reference on your master project board.
02Open the Automation Center
Browse pre-built "Notification" and "Due Date" recipes inside the Automation Center.
03Set your trigger window
Configure relative time triggers, such as sending a reminder one day before, two hours before, or on the exact due date.
04Customize the notification message
Personalize the message layout using item tokens like Task Name, Assigned Person, and Status fields.
05Add conditional reminder rules
Build rules so alerts only trigger if a task status is still "Working on it" or "Stuck," avoiding reminders for finished work.
06Review the automation log
Check the automation activity log to manage active recipes and confirm reminders are firing correctly.
