How to Use OpenClaw with Monday.com — Automated Board and

OpenClaw + Monday.com: AI-Driven Work Management

Monday.com runs on a GraphQL API — powerful but verbose. OpenClaw handles the complexity for you. Your agent can create items, update statuses, post updates, and generate board reports in response to any trigger — Slack messages, webhooks, schedule, or your command.

Setup: Monday.com API Token

Go to your Monday.com profile → Developer → API v2 token:

MONDAY_API_TOKEN=your_api_token

Find your board IDs:

curl -X POST "https://api.monday.com/v2" \
  -H "Authorization: $MONDAY_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "{boards{id name}}"}'

Create a Monday.com Skill

# ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/monday/SKILL.md

## Create Item
curl -X POST "https://api.monday.com/v2" \
  -H "Authorization: $MONDAY_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "mutation { create_item(board_id: $BOARD_ID, item_name: \"$NAME\", column_values: \"$COLUMN_JSON\") { id } }"}

## Update Status Column
curl -X POST "https://api.monday.com/v2" \
  -H "Authorization: $MONDAY_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "mutation { change_column_value(item_id: $ITEM_ID, board_id: $BOARD_ID, column_id: \"status\", value: \"{\\\"label\\\": \\\"$STATUS\\\"}\") { id } }"}'

## Get Board Items
curl -X POST "https://api.monday.com/v2" \
  -H "Authorization: $MONDAY_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "{boards(ids: [$BOARD_ID]){items_page{items{id name column_values{id text}}}}}"}' 

Add Board Context to TOOLS.md

### Monday.com
- API: https://api.monday.com/v2
- Token: $MONDAY_API_TOKEN
- Product Roadmap: board_id=1111111
- Sprint Board: board_id=2222222
- CRM: board_id=3333333
- Status column ID: status

Practical Workflows

Auto-Create Items from Emails

Forward customer feature requests to a dedicated email address that webhooks to OpenClaw. Your agent parses the email, creates a Monday.com item in the Feature Requests board, and sends an acknowledgement reply.

Sprint Velocity Tracker

openclaw cron add \
  --name hex-monday-sprint \
  --schedule "0 9 * * MON" \
  --agent main \
  --task "Query Monday.com sprint board for completed items last week, calculate velocity, post to #saas"

Status Update Automation

When a GitHub PR is merged, your agent updates the corresponding Monday.com item status to Done — keeping your board in sync with actual development progress automatically.

Monday.com Webhooks → OpenClaw

Set up Monday.com automations to POST item events to your OpenClaw gateway URL. Your agent handles status changes, due date updates, and new item assignments — triggering notifications, emails, or follow-up actions.
