How to Connect Monday.com to Make.com with Webhooks (2026 Tutorial)
Tired of manually updating multiple systems when tasks change status in Monday.com? This webhook integration automatically syncs status changes to Make.com, where you can trigger Slack notifications, update other boards, or start approval workflows - all without lifting a finger.
The Problem With Manual Updates
Most teams using Monday.com waste hours each week on manual updates. When a task moves to "Done," someone has to remember to notify stakeholders in Slack, update related records in other systems, or move the item to an archive board. These repetitive tasks are:
- Time-consuming: Takes 2-3 minutes per task × dozens of tasks weekly
- Error-prone: Easy to forget steps when juggling multiple projects
- Demoralizing: Drains team energy on administrative work instead of meaningful progress
Teams using manual updates spend 15-20% of their week on administrative coordination instead of actual work. Automation recaptures this lost productivity.
Setting Up Your Monday.com Boards
The webhook integration requires two Monday.com boards:
- Active Projects Board: Where your team manages current work with columns for Task, Owner, Status, and Due Date
- Completed Projects Board: A separate board for historical record-keeping when tasks are finished
This separation keeps your active workspace clean while preserving all completed work data. At the 2:15 mark in the video, you'll see how to create these boards with the right column structure.
Creating the Make.com Webhook
The magic starts in Make.com (formerly Integromat):
- Create a new scenario and select "Build from scratch"
- Search for and add the "Webhook" module
- Choose "Custom webhook" and name it descriptively (like "Monday Task Status Webhook")
Make.com generates a unique URL that acts like a phone number Monday.com will call with status updates. This URL is the critical connection point between the two platforms.
Connecting Monday.com to the Webhook
With your Make.com webhook URL copied:
- In Monday.com, open your Active Projects board
- Click "Automations" and search for "webhook"
- Select "When status changes to something, send a webhook"
- Paste your Make.com webhook URL and connect
- Specify which status change should trigger the webhook (like moving to "Done")
At this point, Monday.com is ready to send data - but Make.com hasn't received anything yet. You need to trigger the first update manually to establish the connection.
Testing the Integration
To activate the connection:
- Change a task status in Monday.com (like from "Working" to "Done")
- Return to Make.com - you should see the webhook captured the data
- Inspect the payload to see all available fields (item ID, board info, column values)
This test confirms Monday.com is successfully sending data to Make.com whenever the specified status change occurs. Now you can build powerful automations using this real-time data.
Expanding the Workflow
With the basic connection working, you can now add actions in Make.com that trigger when status changes occur:
- Slack Notifications: Alert relevant team members when tasks complete
- Board Updates: Automatically move completed tasks to your archive board
- CRM Updates: Sync task completion status to customer records
- Approval Workflows: Kick off review processes when tasks hit certain statuses
The 5:30 mark in the video shows how to add these additional steps to create a complete automated workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this topic
Connecting Monday.com to Make.com via webhooks eliminates manual data transfers between platforms. When a task status changes in Monday.com (like moving to 'Done'), Make.com instantly receives this update and can trigger automated actions.
This integration saves teams an average of 3-5 hours per week on manual status updates and follow-ups by automating notifications, board updates, and workflow triggers.
- Eliminates copy-paste between systems
- Ensures no status changes are missed
- Enables complex multi-system workflows
No coding skills are required for this integration. The process involves copying a webhook URL from Make.com and pasting it into Monday.com's automation settings.
The entire setup can be completed in under 15 minutes following our step-by-step guide. Make.com handles all the technical complexity behind the scenes.
- No programming knowledge needed
- Point-and-click interface
- Pre-built templates available
You can trigger Make.com workflows from various Monday.com events including status changes, new item creation, column value updates, due date changes, and board movements.
The most common triggers are status changes (like moving to 'Done') and new item creation. Each trigger sends detailed data about the item, board, and changes to Make.com for processing.
- Status changes (most popular)
- New item creation
- Column value updates
Yes, Monday.com allows you to specify exactly which status changes should trigger the webhook. In the automation setup, you can select specific status values (like 'Done' or 'Approved') that will activate the trigger.
This prevents unnecessary webhook calls for status changes you don't need to track. You can create multiple webhook triggers for different status transitions if needed.
- Filter by specific status values
- Create multiple triggers
- Reduce unnecessary webhook calls
Make.com can perform dozens of actions after receiving the Monday.com webhook, including sending Slack/Teams notifications, creating items in other boards, updating CRM records, triggering approval workflows, or sending emails.
The most powerful aspect is chaining multiple actions together in a single automated workflow based on the incoming data. For example: notify team → update CRM → archive task → trigger billing.
- Notifications (Slack, email, SMS)
- Board updates and moves
- CRM and database updates
The webhook connection between Monday.com and Make.com is highly reliable when properly configured. Make.com's webhooks have a 99.9% uptime SLA, and Monday.com's automation system retries failed webhook deliveries automatically.
For critical workflows, you can add error handling in Make.com to retry or notify admins if an expected update doesn't occur within a set timeframe.
- Enterprise-grade reliability
- Automatic retry mechanisms
- Error handling options
Absolutely. One powerful use case is using Make.com to sync data between multiple Monday.com boards. When a task is marked complete in your 'Active Projects' board, Make.com can automatically create a summarized version in your 'Completed Projects' board.
This maintains clean separation between active and historical work while preserving all data. You can sync specific columns or transform the data during transfer.
- Sync between any boards
- Transform data during transfer
- Maintain separate active/archive views
