monday's date automations run at one fixed hour for every item, and the time in your column is ignored. Precise Triggers reads that time and fires your status change, notification or webhook within 30 seconds of it.
Live simulation, running on your clock. In production each item fires within 30 s of the time in its column, typically 3–5 s.

Too early or too late, never on time.
A native “when date arrives” automation picks one hour, say 09:00, and fires every item then. The 14:30 handoff goes out five and a half hours early. The 08:40 one, twenty minutes late.

A note from the founder
I built Precise Triggers because monday's date automations kept firing at the wrong hour for deadlines that had a time on them. It's built and run by one engineer: me.
That means two things for you. Support emails reach the person who wrote the scheduler. And when you ask for something, it can ship quickly: firing minutes, hours or days before a deadline was the most requested feature, so it's built in now. If something you need is missing, write to me and tell me how you'd use it.

Before you install.
Doesn't monday already do this?
monday's native date automations run at one fixed hour you choose, for every item. The time stored in your column is ignored. Precise Triggers fires each item at its own date and time, checks an optional condition at fire time, and can send webhooks.
Can it fire 2 hours (or 30 minutes) before a deadline?
Yes. When you create a trigger, choose when it fires: at the date and time, or 5, 15 or 30 minutes, 1, 2 or 4 hours, 1 or 2 days, or a week before it. It can also fire 15 or 30 minutes, an hour or a day after. Each item still fires on its own schedule, and moving the date moves the reminder with it.
Which time zone does it use?
monday stores dates in UTC and shows everyone the time in their own zone. Precise Triggers fires at that exact moment, so it matches what each person sees on the board.
What if my date column has no time?
A date without a time fires at 00:00 UTC. Turn on “Include time” in the Date column settings to fire at an exact hour and minute.
What happens when the trial ends?
Your automations pause. Nothing is deleted. Pick a plan and they are rescheduled automatically.
What happens if I reach my monthly limit?
Further automations that month are skipped and marked as skipped in the execution log, so you can see what didn't run. Limits reset monthly, and upgrading takes effect immediately.
How do I cancel?
One click in the billing portal inside the app. No emails, no calls.
Is my data safe?
Only IDs and encrypted tokens are stored. Tokens are encrypted with AES-256-GCM at rest and all traffic uses TLS. Uninstalling deletes your data from our database within 24 hours; daily backups roll off within 30 days.
Do I need a credit card?
No. Install and start the trial without one. You are only billed if you choose a plan.
How do I install without the marketplace?
Click “Add to monday” on this page. It installs through monday's standard OAuth flow, the same way marketplace apps do, with full functionality.
