Open Source Solution for Removing "(Copy)" from Monday.com Automations

Discussion

Good day,

I came across this issue and realized that instead of paying an absurd amount for a subscription through Monday.com integrations — or continuing to pay for a Make.com automation subscription (which only allows two setups per board on the free tier) — I’d build my own solution using Java and a webhook server. This setup can be hosted on any board(s) you like.

Of course, there’s a trade-off: the server's CPU power matters. A lower CPU might result in some missed webhooks, whereas a higher-performance server will ensure every execution runs smoothly.

This is an open-source project — feel free to use or modify it as needed. The current version focuses specifically on removing the "(Copy)" suffix that appears when a duplicate automation is triggered.

Here’s a Monday (Copy) Remove - YouTube showing you how to set it up on your own server or using Render (a free server option with limited CPU). I use the free version of Render as it suites my current needs.

I’m planning to build more open-source solutions like this, so if you have ideas or challenges in mind, feel free to reach out — I’m always up for a project.

If you find this helpful, there’s a donation/support link on the GitHub page (linked in the YouTube video description).

Have an awesome day!
