Managing projects in monday.com is all about visibility, timing, and process precision. One recurring request among users is this:
“How can I automatically record the exact date and time a status changes — not just the date, but also the hour, minute, or even second?”
By default, monday.com allows automation to record the current date when a status changes. For example When status changes to “Done”, set “Completion Date” to today.
But what if “today” isn’t enough?
What if you need to know the exact moment something moved forward?
Let’s break down the limitation — and how you can solve it using Time in Status for monday.com.
🕓 Problem: No Time Component in Native Automations
Currently, monday automations can only populate date columns — meaning they do not store timestamps (like “April 18, 2025 – 14:37”).
This creates several challenges:
You can’t measure delays to the minute.
You lose visibility into fast-moving workflows.
You can’t generate accurate cycle time or SLA compliance metrics.
✅ Solution: Use Time in Status for monday.com
Time in Status for monday.com is an advanced reporting add-on that captures not only the date — but the exact time of each status transition.
Whether a task moves from “To Do” → “In Progress”, or “Review” → “Done”, you’ll see:
⏰ Exact timestamp of entry into each status
📊 How long each task stays in every phase
📅 Exportable log of transitions with date + time precision
💡 Use Case Example

View the exact date & time that the “In Progress” status was triggered
