Before You Begin
Before you set up the integration, make sure you have:
A Knak administrator account.
Administrator access in Monday.com.
A dedicated API administrator user in Monday.com.
For the best experience, use a dedicated API administrator user for the integration. This improves security. It also makes the integration easier to maintain.
💡 Tip: Use an email alias when creating the dedicated API user, such as youremail+api@domain.com. This keeps all integrations tied to one account. It also helps prevent disruptions if a team member leaves your organization.
Find Your Monday.com API Key
You need your Monday.com API key to complete the integration setup.
Log in to Monday.com.
Click your profile avatar.
Select Administration.
Open Connections > Personal API Token.
Click Generate to create your API key.
Copy the API Key.
⚠️ Warning:
Selecting Regenerate in Monday.com immediately invalidates your existing API token. This breaks your Monday.com connection in Knak until you update the integration.
If you regenerate your token:
Copy the new API token.
Open your Monday.com integration in Knak.
Replace the existing API token.
Click Authorize again to restore the connection.
Set Up the Monday.com Integration
Log in to your Knak account.
Click Admin in the upper-left corner.
In the left navigation menu, click Integrations.
Select Platforms.
Scroll to the Project Management section.
Click the Connect button on the Monday.com tile.
Complete the integration settings:
Integration Name → Enter a name for the connection. This name appears throughout your Knak account.
API Key → Paste the API key from your Monday.com administrator account.
Click Authorize to connect Knak to your Monday.com account.
After the connection is authorized, the Inbound Configuration section becomes available.
Click Create New Integration.
Your Monday.com integration is now ready to use.
Configure Additional Sync Options
The Monday.com integration includes several optional settings.
Option | Description |
Add Knak Status in Monday | Sync the Knak asset status, such as Draft, In Review, or Approved, back to Monday.com. |
Add Link to Knak Asset in Monday | Automatically create a link in Monday.com that opens the related Knak asset. |
Add Knak Comments in Monday | Sync comments added in Knak to Monday.com. Comments created in Monday.com do not sync back to Knak. |
Restrict to Brands | Limit which Knak brands can use this integration. |
Configure Field Mapping
You can map Monday.com columns to custom fields on the Info tab in Knak.
Create Custom Fields
Before mapping fields, contact your Knak Customer Success Manager.
Request custom fields that match the Monday.com columns you want to sync.
Example:
If you want to sync the Date column from Monday.com, request a custom field named Date in Knak.
Map Monday.com Columns
After the custom fields are available:
Open your Monday.com integration in Knak.
Select the Monday.com board that contains your columns.
Map each Monday.com column to the matching Knak custom field.
Note: When using custom field mapping, you can sync data from one Monday.com board only. Leave the board selection blank if you want to sync data from multiple boards without field mapping.
Manage Your Integration
After you create the integration, you can manage it from the My Platform Connections section on the Integrations page.
Available actions include:
View the configuration.
Edit the connection.
Delete the connection.
Add Another Connection
To connect another Monday.com board or recreate a deleted connection:
Scroll to the All Platforms section.
Locate the Monday.com tile.
Click Connect or Add Another Connection.
