Automate monday.com

Turn form entries into board items, catch anything marked Stuck the minute it happens, and get a morning list of what is overdue or due this week on your monday.com boards. Tell your AI assistant which board, columns and labels matter, review the plan it shows you, and the automation carries on from there.

Try asking

Create a ClickRuntime automation: give me a link my contact form can send entries to. Create an item on my monday.com Leads board with the person's name as the item name, and fill the Email and Source columns.

Paste it into your assistant. It tells you what it will send or change before it runs live.

Any other automation you can describe in words

Your own rules, schedule and AI steps with monday.com, plus any other app. Describe it and your assistant builds it.

Build your own

Build any monday.com automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what monday.com should do in your own words, with your conditions, other apps or an AI step, and your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.

  • Your own rules

    Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.

  • Any number of apps

    One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.

  • AI where it helps

    Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.

  • On a schedule or on each event

    Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

For example, ask your assistant

Every hour, find monday.com items whose Status is Stuck for more than 2 days and post an update on each asking the owner what is blocking it.

When an email arrives in Gmail with the label Request, create an item on my Requests board in monday.com with the subject as the name.

When a monday.com item is set to Bug, create a Jira issue with the same title and description, and post the Jira key in #engineering on Slack.

Works with

monday.com with the apps you already use

Boards hold the work, but people hear about it in email and chat, and some teams also track it in Jira or a spreadsheet. These pairs move board activity to where it gets read.

monday.com works with hundreds of other apps

Name any of them when you ask your assistant, and your automation connects them. Over 248 apps are ready to go, and anything with an API works too.

  • Outlook
  • Microsoft Teams
  • Asana
  • Trello

Beyond chat

Have monday.com work when you're not in the chat

Connecting monday.com to ChatGPT or Claude lets you ask about it while you chat. ClickRuntime handles the part that should happen on its own: checks on a schedule and actions on each new event, set up from the same chat and running after you close it.

Setup

Connect monday.com

monday.com connects with your own personal API token, so the automation sees exactly the boards your monday.com account can see.

monday.com

Project management

  1. In monday.com, click your profile picture and open Developers.
  2. Under API token, click Show and copy the token. Admins can also find it under Administration, Connections, Personal API token.
  3. In the ClickRuntime dashboard, open Connections & secrets and save the token as a secret for monday.com.

Good to know

monday.com limits that affect automations

  • The token belongs to one person and carries that person's board permissions. If they lose access to a board, so does the automation.
  • monday.com's API is GraphQL and limits requests by query complexity rather than a flat count, so big boards are read in pages using a cursor.
  • Updates and attached files are fetched separately from item columns, so a full backup that includes them takes extra queries.
  • Real-time alerts use monday.com webhooks, which need board permissions to set up; scheduled digests only need read access.

FAQ

Questions about automating monday.com

Which boards can ClickRuntime reach in monday.com?
The boards the owner of the API token can open. Within those it can read items, column values and updates, and create new items when an automation calls for it.
Can an alert fire as soon as a status changes to Stuck?
Yes. monday.com sends a webhook on new items and on status column changes, and the automation checks the new label before posting, so you only hear about the labels you named.
How are due-date digests built?
On the schedule you choose, the automation pages through the board, reads the date, status and people columns, keeps items that are late or due soon and not Done, and groups them by owner in the email.
Does a monday.com automation need AI?
Most do not: item creation, alerts, digests and backups are plain rules. Recaps of update threads and the monthly lead narrative use AI, which is included in every ClickRuntime plan with no separate AI key.
Can it find updates where I was mentioned and still owe a reply?
Yes. It reads recent updates and their replies, spots the ones that @mention you without an answer from you, and sends the list each morning.
Is this a monday.com connector for ChatGPT or Claude?
Not for chatting with monday.com data. A chat connector lets your assistant read and change monday.com while you're in the conversation. ClickRuntime is for the work that should happen without you: you set up an automation from the chat once, and it keeps running on a schedule or on each monday.com event.
