The functionality allows users to generate new records within the monday.com work management platform by sending specially formatted emails. For example, an email with a specific subject line and body content can be configured to automatically create a new task in a designated project board, populating fields based on the email’s content.
This method streamlines the process of adding information to monday.com, particularly when data originates from external sources or needs to be quickly logged without directly accessing the platform. Historically, data input relied on manual entry or integrations with other systems. This email-based method offers a simpler and more accessible alternative for many common use cases, enhancing efficiency and promoting faster workflows.
