Solving the Monday.com Search Function Issue on Make.com

Hi there, Make.com users! Today, we're going to tackle a common issue that some of you might have encountered when using Monday.com - searching for certain text on a specific column on a board and getting no results. Don't worry, we've got you covered with a simple solution.

The Problem

Imagine you're creating a scenario where one of the stages involves searching for a specific text in a particular column on Monday.com. Everything seems to be running smoothly - the scenario is getting the right text and appears to be searching in the correct board and column. However, the automation returns no value, as if it couldn't find the text you're looking for. Even when you manually take the value and search for it on Monday.com, it's an exact match, yet the automation still returns no results.

The Solution

The issue might be simpler than you think. The search function on Monday.com might be case-sensitive, which means it differentiates between uppercase and lowercase letters. So, if your search text doesn't match the case of the text in the column exactly, it won't return any results.

To solve this, make sure the case of your search text matches the case of the text in the column exactly. If the text in the column is in uppercase, your search text should also be in uppercase, and vice versa.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you're still having trouble, here are a few things you can try:

  • Check the module fields and filters in question. Make sure they're set up correctly.
  • Export the scenario blueprint file to allow others to replicate the issue. At the bottom of the scenario editor, click on the three dots to find the Export Blueprint menu item.
  • Provide the input/output bundles of the modules by running the scenario, then clicking the bubble on the top-right of each module. Take screenshots of these and copy the contents into a discussion thread.

Conclusion

In conclusion, when using the search function on Monday.com, remember that it might be case-sensitive. Always ensure the case of your search text matches the case of the text in the column exactly. We hope this solution helps you in your automation journey on Make.com. Happy automating!
