Turn boards into fully automated work operations

CRMCommunicationProductivityProjectsAutomation

monday.com is a work management platform where teams build boards, track items, and collaborate across projects. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can create and update items, move tasks between groups, post updates, monitor column changes, and orchestrate cross-app workflows — all triggered by real board events or a weekly schedule.

CRM-to-board sync: won deals become client project items

When a deal is marked 'Won' in HubSpot, the agent creates a new item on the Client Projects monday.com board, pre-fills the company name, deal value, and account manager, then posts a kickoff Slack message to the sales and delivery channels — the team sees a new client project board entry with no manual handoff.

FAQs

Questions about monday.com + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to monday.com?
Go to the Apps tab, find monday.com, and click Connect. The recommended path is OAuth — Actionist opens a monday.com permissions window, you grant access to your boards and items, and the connection is live in under 10 seconds. If you prefer a token, go to monday.com → avatar → Developers → My Access Tokens, copy the API v2 token, and paste it into the API Token field instead. Actionist runs a test board read to confirm the handshake before any actions run.
Does Actionist work with the monday.com GraphQL API, or only the REST endpoints?
monday.com's public API is GraphQL-only — all board reads, item creates, column updates, and webhook subscriptions go through the GraphQL endpoint. Actionist's monday.com integration uses this API directly, so every action and trigger maps to a real GraphQL mutation or query. You do not need to write any GraphQL yourself; the agent handles the query construction from the action parameters you define.
Can the agent react to changes on a monday.com board without me polling manually?
Yes. monday.com supports webhook-based events for column changes, new items, item moves, new subitems, and new updates. Actionist subscribes to these webhooks on your behalf when you add a trigger to a scheduled task. Events fire within about a minute of the board change — there is no polling and no delay from a manual check. If your board does not yet have any activity, the trigger waits silently until the next qualifying event.
What monday.com permissions does the agent need to read and write my boards?
The OAuth flow requests the minimum scopes to support the available actions: read access to boards, items, columns, groups, and users; write access to create and update items, groups, and boards; and webhook management to subscribe to board events. If you connect via API token, the token inherits the permissions of the generating user account — a non-admin account with board access is sufficient for most automations; admin-level access is only needed for workspace-wide board creation.
Can Actionist update subitems and column values in one automated step?
Yes. The Change a Column Value and Update Item actions work on both items and subitems, and you can chain multiple column updates in a single agent task. A typical onboarding flow might create a parent item, generate seven subitems, and set the start date and owner columns on each — all in a single scheduled run with no human intervention between steps. You set up the task once; the agent repeats it for every new hire, deal, or project that matches the trigger condition.
Does Actionist support boards with custom columns, or only the built-in monday.com fields?
Actionist works with all column types that monday.com exposes through its GraphQL API — Status, Date, Text, Number, People, Timeline, Link, Dropdown, and more. Custom column IDs are resolved at run time from the board's schema, so if you add a new column to your board, the agent can start using it immediately without any configuration change on the Actionist side. The only columns it cannot write are those monday.com itself marks as read-only through its API.
Will Actionist perform destructive board actions — deleting items or boards — without approval?
Destructive actions such as deleting items or archiving boards always require an explicit approval step before they run. You configure this using Actionist's Approval Modes — set the task to 'Ask each time' or 'Guarded auto' and the agent will pause and request human confirmation before any deletion or archive action executes. Read and create actions can be set to 'Full auto' safely; we recommend keeping destructive actions behind a human gate at all times.
Can I run monday.com automations on a schedule rather than only from triggers?
Yes. Scheduled agent tasks are a core Actionist pattern for monday.com. Common schedules include a Monday morning pipeline sweep, a Wednesday SLA check, a Friday board cleanup, and a weekly cross-board health report. You define the schedule once, and the agent runs at the specified time each week — reading boards, updating columns, moving items, and posting Slack digests automatically. Scheduling that runs independently of your laptop requires a cloud runtime plan.
