Automation Features Migration Overview

Review frequently asked questions about deprecation of sentence blocks and migration to monday workflows

Starting January 2026, the monday.com platform will begin migrating automations to a unified infrastructure powered by monday workflows.

To ensure your app’s blocks continue to appear in the new Automation Builder and future monday.com products, all apps using the legacy Integration for sentence builder feature must migrate to Automation block app features before April 30th, 2026.

If you do not migrate:

  • Your blocks will not appear in the new Automation Builder
  • Existing automations using your blocks may stop working once the legacy infrastructure is discontinued

Background

With the current infrastructure, apps that want to support both automations and monday workflows must build their integration twice. This double work increases development and maintenance effort and limits where blocks can be reused across the platform.

Moving to monday workflows introduces a single, shared infrastructure for all automation experiences. The goal is for app blocks to be defined once and reused across multiple monday.com products, including the Automation Builder, Workflow Builder, and future automation surfaces.

To enable this, existing Integration for sentence builder app feature components are being replaced with modular workflow-based app features.

High-level changes

The following areas require updates when migrating to the new infrastructure:

  • Fields: Input and output fields are now explicitly backed by primitive types (text, number, boolean, date). This enables consistent data mapping and chaining between blocks.
  • Authentication: The legacy Authorization URL mechanism is deprecated. Authentication is now handled through Credentials, which support OAuth, API keys, and custom authentication patterns.

Breaking changes and unsupported features

Some features from the Integration for Sentence Builder infrastructure are not fully supported or require manual configuration in monday workflows.

These include:

  • Authorization URL (deprecated)
  • Certain field types without direct equivalents
  • Blocks with partial or mismatched field mappings

If your migration fails or shows errors, review the full list of breaking changes and unsupported features before retrying.

Who needs to migrate?

You do not need to migrate if:

  • Your app already uses Integration for monday workflows
  • You do not expose automation blocks
