Boards get powerful new capabilities this week: set up automations that notify your team when conditions are met, write dynamic formulas that reference other columns, and fine-tune comment requirements on workflow approvals. Plus, a round of meeting channel fixes makes mobile and guest experiences much smoother.

New Features​

Board — Notification Automations​

Automate your team's communication directly from your board (#2779):

  • Condition-based notifications — set up rules to automatically notify team members when specific events occur, such as a task changing status or a deadline approaching
  • Flexible triggers — combine multiple conditions to target exactly the right moment for each notification
  • Less manual follow-up — reduce the need to manually ping people when things change on your board

Board — Dynamic Formula Editor​

A new formula editor makes it easy to build calculated columns (#2746):

  • Column references — write formulas that pull values from other columns on the same board
  • Live results — see formula outputs update automatically as underlying data changes
  • Syntax highlighting — the editor highlights your formula as you type, with auto-completion for column names and functions

Board — Workflow Approval Comment Modes​

More flexibility for how comments work during workflow approvals (#2774):

  • Per-action settings — configure whether comments are required, optional, or disabled independently for approval and rejection actions
  • Locked-in rules — the comment requirements are captured when the approval is created, so changing the settings later won't affect approvals already in progress

Bug Fixes​

  • Meeting Channels — improved tile layout on mobile devices so participants display properly on smaller screens (#2787)
  • Meeting Channels — guest users can no longer see or manage the lobby waiting list, which was incorrectly visible to them (#2786)
  • Meeting Channels — fixed a tap delay on mobile devices in guest conference view that caused buttons to feel unresponsive (#2785)
  • Meeting Channels — fixed compatibility issues with Safari and iOS that could cause a white screen or audio problems (#2784)
  • Meeting Channels — fixed an issue where guests would re-appear in the waiting list after the host clicked 'Allow All' (#2781)
  • Board — fixed the link modal not displaying correctly when the title column is not a reference type (#2783)
  • Board — fixed a crash when opening a row detail after a comment was deleted (#2777)
  • Board — fixed linked column values disappearing in certain conditions (#2775)
