Connecting Monday.com
Personal API token, automatic column detection, and the Updates-feed fallback for descriptions.
Set up
- In monday.com: click your avatar (top-right) → Developers (opens the Developer Center) → the API tab → Show next to your Personal API Token → copy it. No admin rights needed. (If your avatar menu shows My access tokens instead, use that.)
- In Z3NTRA: Systems → Connect a system → Monday.com, paste the token.
- Optionally list specific Board IDs to limit the scan; leave blank to scan every board you can see, up to Max boards to scan (default 50).
What gets pulled in
Each board's columns are inspected automatically to find its people, status, date, and long-text columns, then items are filtered to ones assigned to you. A board with no people column is skipped — there's nothing to match "assigned to me" against — and a board that errors is skipped with a warning rather than failing the whole sync.
What write-back changes
| Z3NTRA field | Written as |
|---|---|
| Title | The item's name column |
| Status | The board's detected status column |
| Deadline | The board's detected date column |
| Description | The board's detected long-text column — or, if the board has none, posted to the item's Updates feed instead of being dropped |
Column detection works automatically (by type, then by title keyword) and can be overridden per connection under Advanced. If a board is missing a column for something you edited (other than Description, which always has the Updates-feed fallback), that field saves in Z3NTRA only and the UI says so.
API-Version quarterly; Z3NTRA defaults to 2026-07. Bump it under Advanced when you're ready for a newer one.
