Overview
What is Monday.com: Monday.com is a multi-product work platform for project management, CRM, development, and service operations. Its core data model is built around workspaces, boards, groups, and items. Teams use 40+ column types to track statuses, dates, files, relationships, and other structured workflow data.
How to integrate Monday with Datagrid
This setup is for project teams that need Monday.com data inside live workflow automation. Configure the integration before assigning it to Datagrid agents. The steps below cover board access, authentication, and the flow of data between Monday.com and Datagrid.
Set up the integration
Start by creating the integration in Datagrid and choosing which Monday.com data the agents should access.
Open your Datagrid workspace and go to Settings > Integrations > Add New.
Select Monday from the integration list.
Choose which Monday.com workspaces and boards the integration can access.
Configure the data sync direction: read-only, write-only, or bidirectional.
Save the integration and assign it to the AI agents that will use it.
Authenticate** Monday.com access
The Monday integration uses two authentication methods.
Personal API token (V2 token): Generated from your Monday.com account. The token mirrors your UI-level permissions and does not expire. Place it in the API Token field during setup. Regenerating the token in Monday.com immediately invalidates the previous token.
OAuth 2.0: Used for app-level integrations that act on behalf of specific users. OAuth tokens are scoped to declared permissions and are automatically revoked when the app is uninstalled. Access tokens do not expire and require no refresh token.
Why use Monday with Datagrid
This integration matters when project teams need work completed between intake and execution. Here are some reasons why integrate Monday with Datagrid:
Cross-board portfolio reporting: Datagrid AI agents pull data from multiple Monday.com boards simultaneously and generate unified reports that span your project portfolio for PMOs running multi-board operations.
Automated item classification and routing: New items containing unstructured text, such as support tickets or project requests, get classified by type and priority, then routed to the correct owner so triage owners stop sorting intake manually.
Document extraction into board columns: AI agents process attached PDFs, invoices, contracts, and specs, then write extracted fields directly into the corresponding Monday.com columns for finance and operations teams handling vendor paperwork.
Proactive risk monitoring: Agents monitor board items for overdue tasks, status changes, and resource conflicts, then flag operational risks to project leads as they appear instead of waiting for weekly status reviews.
Bidirectional system sync: Monday.com boards stay current with state changes from connected business systems through agent-orchestrated synchronization that writes updates in both directions, keeping operations leaders aligned across the stack.
What you can build with Monday Datagrid integration
Datagrid agents can turn Monday.com board content and attached files into structured actions. The patterns below keep intake, review, and board updates in the same board view:
Smart intake triage for procurement teams: When new items land on a Monday.com intake board with free-text descriptions, Datagrid AI agents read the item, classify it by project type and priority, assign the correct owner via the People column, and move the item to the appropriate group.
Invoice and document extraction for finance teams: AI agents process incoming invoices, purchase orders, or spec sheets attached to Monday.com items, extract vendor names, line items, totals, and due dates, then populate the corresponding board columns.
Portfolio-level aggregation for PMOs: Datagrid agents connect to every active project board in a Monday.com workspace, aggregate item counts by status across boards, calculate completion percentages, and generate a consolidated portfolio report.
CRM enrichment for sales operations: For teams using Monday.com for CRM workflows, AI agents extract structured data from inbound contracts, proposals, and email attachments, then update deal records with contract values, renewal dates, and key terms.

Frequently asked questions
How does Datagrid authenticate with** Monday.com's API?
Datagrid connects to Monday.com through either a Personal API token (V2 token) or OAuth 2.0. Personal tokens mirror your account's UI-level permissions, require no refresh flow, and are placed in the Authorization header on every request. OAuth tokens are scoped to declared permissions and are revoked automatically on app uninstall. Monday.com's authentication documentation covers token retrieval, regeneration, and permission inheritance for both methods.
What** Monday.com data objects can Datagrid AI agents access?
Datagrid agents can read and write boards, items, column values, subitems, groups, updates, files, users, workspaces, and tags. Activity logs are read-only. Items are retrieved via cursor-based pagination at up to 500 per request, and updates return in reverse chronological order at 100 per page. The full object hierarchy and field-level details are documented in Monday.com's GraphQL schema reference.
Can Datagrid write data back to** Monday.com boards?
Yes. Datagrid agents can create items, update column values, post updates (comments), upload file assets, and perform other board or workspace write operations supported by Monday.com's API and your permissions. Column value writes require a specific JSON format for each column type. For example, a status column expects {"label": "Done"} while a date column expects {"date": "2024-06-01"}. Monday.com's column value format guide documents the required JSON structure for all 40+ column types.
