How to connect monday.com with Ziflow
As a first step when setting up the integration, you will need to install the Ziflow App to let Ziflow connect with your monday.com board.
Once the Ziflow App is installed in your monday.com account, please open the board that you want to connect with Ziflow and select Ziflow integration from the Integrations Center of your board.
In the next step, you'll be asked to select a recipe from a list. As of now, there are two types of integrations, but we'll be adding more scenarios very soon:
When an item with a file is created using a form, create a proof in Ziflow
When adding a file to a Files column, create a proof in Ziflow.
When an item with a file is created using a form, create a proof in Ziflow.
After you select this type of integration, you'll be redirected to your Ziflow account and asked for authorization. If you're already signed in to Ziflow, simply click on the Authorize button and then confirm adding the integration to your board.
When adding a file to a Files column, create a proof in Ziflow.
After you select this type of integration, you'll be redirected to your Ziflow account and asked for authorization. If you're already signed in to Ziflow, simply click the Authorize button and confirm adding the integration to your board. Please note that during this configuration, you can also choose an already added file column or add a new one.
How to start submitting proofs using monday.com?
The way of triggering a new proof from monday.com depends on the selected type of integration:
When an item with a file is created using a form, create a proof in Ziflow.
1. Use the monday.com Form to add a New item
Firstly, ensure you've added a Files column to your board. Then add monday.com Form by clicking on the Add view button.
The created form can be used for adding new monday.com items along with files that will be pushed to Ziflow.
This mechanism will automatically add a new item to your monday.com board each time someone submits a Form. When a new item is added to the board, the Integration will send a file to Ziflow, and a new Proof will be added.
When adding a file to a Files column, create a proof in Ziflow.
1. Add a file directly from an Add/Manage file picker or drag & drop the file directly in a file column:
Click on an Add/Manage files button for the monday.com item where you want to place a proof and upload the file using your preferred method.
Alternatively, you can also simply drag & drop the file in a file column:
Additional information:
Currently, in monday.com you cannot control how the proofing project will look like on the Ziflow side. Proofs are created with a single reviewer (proof owner) and with empty proof settings. You can, however, edit the proof afterward and adjust it according to your needs. Simply open the Proof Details Page, add reviewers & edit needed settings.
We support only creating new proofs. At this moment, there is no possibility of adding new proof versions.
monday.com has a limit of 500MB for file uploads, and it supports only the following file formats: PNG, JPEG, Word, PDF, Excel, GIF, MP4, SVG, TXT, AI
After connecting monday.com with Ziflow, you will notice two flows being automatically added to the list of your Ziflow flows.
These flows will send information about proofs being successfully created or when a proof fails. You'll be notified about such events in your monday.com account.
