Build your own

Build any Slack and monday.com automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what should happen between Slack and monday.com 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

Post to Slack only when a high-priority item changes to Stuck or passes its due date, and mention the person in the owner column.

Each Monday, post a Slack summary per board with counts by status and the three oldest open items.

Use cases

Why people connect Slack and monday.com

How the two apps work together

  • monday.com sends a webhook to your trigger link when an item is created or a column changes, or a check runs every few minutes.
  • The script posts the item name, status, owner and link to the Slack channel you choose.
  • Messages in a requests channel are read every few minutes and turned into monday.com items.
  • Project managers flagging blockers

    When an item's status changes to Stuck, a message with the item and owner goes to the project's Slack channel. Blockers are seen the same day.

  • Teams celebrating finished work

    Items moved to Done are posted to #wins. Progress is visible without opening monday.com.

  • Managers getting a morning digest

    A daily Slack post lists items due today and overdue by person. Standups start with the facts.

  • Teams creating items from Slack

    A request in a #requests channel becomes an item on a monday.com board. Requests get tracked instead of lost in chat.

More apps

Slack, monday.com and other apps in one automation

An automation isn't limited to two apps. Add the next step in another app and it runs as part of the same automation.

Weekly status history

Every Friday, copy each monday.com item's status to a Google Sheet and post a summary of changes to #projects.

Client updates by email

When an item on my Clients board moves to Done, post it in Slack and email the client from Gmail.
