Resool Team · · 3 min read

monday.com is a work-management platform built around boards, groups and items. Connecting monday.com to Resool lets your team create an item on a board from any conversation, with the request details, the contact and a link to the chat posted as the item's first update. The contact's panel shows which group each item is in, and workflows can create items with column values filled from contact data.

What you can do with monday.com

In the Inbox

  • Create item on a board's group, with a name and a description.
  • See the monday.com items created for the contact and the group each one is in, and open them with View in monday.com.

On the contact page

  • The Connected apps list shows how many monday.com items the contact has.

In Workflows

  • The Create monday.com item step creates an item on a board's group, fills the columns you map, and posts an update.

Before you begin

  • You need a monday.com account that can create items on the boards you want to use.
  • In Resool, only workspace Owners and Admins can connect apps and change their settings.
  • Creating items from the inbox needs a role that can manage contacts (Owner, Admin, Manager and Agent can by default).

FAQ and troubleshooting

Can I fill board columns from the inbox?

No. The inbox form sets the item name and posts the description as an update. Use the workflow step to fill columns.

What does the badge on each item show?

The group the item is currently in. Resool refreshes it when you open the panel.

Can I search for a board by name?

Yes. Type in the Board picker to search your boards.

Which plans include monday.com?

Apps are included on every plan. See Plans and billing.
