monday.com Integration

Monday.com (monday) is a cloud-based platform that allows users to create their own applications and project management software.

With the monday integration, project assets can be automatically uploaded to your DAM via a trigger and tagged with relevant metadata. This prevents users from having to manually upload and tag assets from monday, saving time and increasing efficiency.

Important information

Before setting up the integration, please ensure the following is setup:

11. Choose column: Click the dropdown and select which column you’d like to use for the trigger.
    • The default Status column is commonly used, but you can choose any column.
12. Identify your Trigger: Determine what should trigger the assets to be sent to Bynder.
    • If the column that you’ve selected has a defined schema, those values will be listed. Select the option from the list. This is the recommended suggestion. We typically recommend the trigger being set to an obvious name, such as Send to Bynder.
    • If the column uses custom values, type the value to be used as a trigger in the box. We do not typically recommend using a custom value, as users might accidentally enter the information incorrectly or accidentally have a spelling mistake.

    3. Then, Choose an option under the Bynder Metaproperty that you’d like to map it to.

    1. Click Choose an option under Bynder Metaproperty and select a field from the dropdown.
    2. In the Value section, enter the option that the synced assets should be tagged with.
