What is Monday.com?
Monday.com is a work operating system that helps you organise and manage tasks and projects visually.
With the Monday.com integration, Factorial creates a board in Monday.com for each of your teams or projects, so you can start collaborating and managing tasks without setting up each board by hand.
Overview
- The integration creates one public Monday.com board for each Factorial team or project, named after that team or project
- Each installation syncs one type only: either Teams or Projects. You choose the type when you set up the integration
- Boards are created when you install or update the integration. It is not a continuous, two-way sync
- The integration connects to Monday.com using your Monday.com API key
- The integration is available in the Factorial Marketplace and is free of charge
Before you start
Make sure you have:
- Access to install integrations from the Marketplace in Factorial
- A Monday.com account and its API key
How to set up the integration
Step 1: Get your Monday.com API key
- Log in to your Monday.com account
- Click your profile picture in the top-right corner and select Developers. The Monday.com Developer Center opens
- In the left menu, click My access tokens
- Click Show and copy your token. This is the API key you will enter in Factorial
If you are a Monday.com admin, you can also find your token under Administration > API.Your API token gives access to your Monday.com account. Keep it secret and do not share it.
Step 2: Install the integration in Factorial
- In your Factorial sidebar, go to Marketplace > Integrations
- Search for Monday and open it
- Click Install for company
- In the Monday synchronization form, paste your Monday.com token in the API Key field
- In Type, select Teams or Projects

Once the setup is complete, the button on the Monday integration page changes to Uninstall for company, and a public board is created in Monday.com for each of your Factorial teams or projects, depending on the type you chose.
