Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: when an item on my Projects board in monday.com changes to Done, post it to #wins in Slack with the owner, the board name and a link. Post each item only once.

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

First time? Adding ClickRuntime to your assistant takes about two minutes.

Why use it

Why teams use this automation

Finished work on a monday.com board usually goes quiet. The item turns green, and unless someone opens the board nobody sees it.

A #wins channel makes finished work visible to the whole team as it happens, with the name of the person who did it.

Because the message comes from a webhook, it arrives seconds after the status changes, not at the end of the day.

What you get out of it

  • Credit goes to the owner

    Each message names the person on the item, so the team sees who shipped what.

  • Only real completions

    Other status changes such as Working on it or Stuck are ignored.

  • No repeats

    An item is posted once, even if someone reopens it and marks it Done again.

  • Link to the item

    People can open the item from Slack to see the details or leave a comment.

  • Works across boards

    Add the same webhook to more boards and they all post to one channel.

How it works

What happens, step by step

  1. You add a webhook to your monday.com board that fires when a status column changes.

  2. ClickRuntime ignores every change except a move to Done.

  3. It looks up the item's owner and board, then posts one line to #wins.

  4. Each item is posted once, so flipping it back and forth does not repeat the message.

Before it runs live

  • Connect Slack, then invite the app to the channel (type /invite @ClickRuntime there)
  • Connect monday.com
  • Paste your automation's link into the other app's webhook settings

Build your own

Need it to work differently?

This template is a starting point. Copy the prompt and change it, or describe a different automation from scratch, with your own conditions, more apps or an AI step. 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.

Changes you can ask for

  • Act only on the items that match your own rules, and skip the rest
  • Add an AI step, for example to summarize, sort or draft a reply
  • Add another app, for example also send it to Google Sheets
  • Combine it with other Slack and monday.com steps into one automation

Under the hood

The code that runs this automation

This is the Python script that runs each time the automation starts. Your AI assistant writes it for you when you send the prompt, and you allow each step in your assistant. To change how the automation works, describe the change to your assistant and it updates the script for you. For every function it can use, see the script reference.

FAQ

Common questions

Does it post when an item is set to Done by a monday.com recipe?
Yes. The webhook fires for any status change to Done, whether a person, a form or another automation made it.
Our final status is called Shipped, not Done. Can it use that?
Yes. Tell your assistant the label to watch, or give several labels such as Shipped and Approved.
Can it post to a different channel per board?
Yes. Add a webhook on each board and map each board to its own channel, for example #wins-design and #wins-eng.
What permissions does it need?
boards:read, webhooks:write; chat:write. Nothing else in your accounts is used.
Does it need AI?
No. It runs without AI, so it doesn't use your plan's AI allowance.
How many runs does it use?
One run for each event the app sends.
Can I change how it works?
Yes. Describe the change to your AI assistant, for example a different schedule, channel or filter. It updates the automation, tests it and tells you what changed.
