The project management tool ,monday.com, stands out from the competition with colorful, engaging views and features like built-in workdocs. But even the cheeriest of pie charts won’t brighten your day if you have to manually add items to your task boards.

We’ve created a template that automates that whole process using just a custom form. It captures everything you want to add to your item, then…adds it to monday for you. It’s designed to improve your data accuracy and just free you up to get more stuff done.

Zapier products the template uses

• Interfaces — an automated form, page, and app builder for collecting data
• Tables — databases that let you track and automate your data
• Zaps — automated workflows
• Canvas — a diagramming tool that helps you visualize your workflows

How this form template works

This template uses our suite of products to bring you a seamless automation experience in monday.com.

Here's how it works:

• You'll start by using Interfaces to build a form that captures all the information you need for new items. This could include things like the item's name, due date, priority, and team members assigned to the item.
• Then, you'll configure a Zap that takes the information from a form submission, maps it to the corresponding fields in monday.com, and automatically creates a new item in your specified monday board.
• You can use Tables to keep a record of all the submitted form data. This serves as a backup and allows for further analysis.
• Finally, you can use Canvas to visualize your automation workflow, so you can verify that it works well with your existing processes (and change it if it doesn't).

By automating the item-creation process, you eliminate the need for manual data entry into monday.com, reducing errors and saving you valuable time.
