What moves, and when
The details you would normally get after a sales call. Here they are up front.
| What | Direction | When | Rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| New item on a board you watch | monday.com to Slack | Within seconds | The item name, its group, the person in the People column and the date, in the channel you choose |
| Status column moves | monday.com to Slack | Within seconds | You name the columns worth a post, so Working on it is heard and a fixed typo is not |
| Updates and subitems | monday.com to Slack | Within seconds | Posted in that item's own thread, which keeps a busy board from taking the channel over |
| Due today | monday.com to Slack | Daily at 09:00, your time zone | One message, grouped by the person in the owner column |
| One item, one thread | monday.com to Slack | Every event | Ten column changes on the same item stay in one thread instead of becoming ten posts |

Each screen carries the full guide with the exact menu names, about seven minutes for both. - We check both keysEach key is checked against monday.com's and Slack's own API the moment you paste it. If one doesn't pass, the screen says what to fix, and a person joins the chat if that isn't enough.
- Create one test item, then we switch it onA minute or two. Create a item in monday.com and watch the post arrive in the channel. From then on we watch it for you. A person checks the setup and switches it on, within a working day.
When monday.com or Slack changes its API, we fix it within a working day. You don't get a ticket to solve.

- A person on live chat, weekdays 10:00 to 19:00 EET.
- Custom logic beyond the table is priced separately.
What it will cost once you can switch it on yourself. While we're in beta we connect it by hand and don't charge for it.
Ways to connect monday.com and Slack
Two ways people connect these two, and what each one asks of you.
Before you decide
Can we create a item from a message?
Not in this one; it runs into the chat. If a message should become a item, describe it and we price it.
How do we keep it quiet?
Name the boards and the moves worth posting. Everything else stays on the board.
Can we keep some boards out of Slack?
Yes. You name the boards and the columns worth posting while connecting, and the rest stays on the board. Adding another one later takes a message to us.
Anything to know about monday.com?
The API is GraphQL and priced by complexity, so a big backfill arrives in steps rather than all at once, while day to day changes are immediate.
Anything to know about Slack?
The bot has to be invited to a channel before it can post there; that's one command in Slack.
What if mine is a bit different?
Tell us what should go where in plain words. Small changes to the rules above are usually free; bigger ones we price within a working day and build into the same account.
