The integrations app feature allows apps to connect external platforms to monday.com using modular components called blocks. You can create them through the framework's easy-to-use API, which enables you to embed your platform into workflows with minimal development effort.

Users can then utilize integrations to create seamless connections between multiple software tools in their workflows without writing code or extensive technical configurations.

How integrations work

Integrations are built using recipes comprising various trigger and action workflow blocks.

Each workflow block represents an event in or out of monday and can be combined to build integrated workflows between multiple platforms. They make the monday apps framework modular and easy to build with.

There are two types of blocks:

Trigger blocks initiate an integrated workflow and can be started from any relevant event on your platform. You can use built-in triggers or create your own.
Action blocks contain some logic that should occur after the event is initiated, such as notifying someone, creating a new campaign, or updating a lead. You can use built-in actions or create your own.

A recipe is then constructed using a sequence of trigger and action blocks. While blocks are the individual components, recipes define an automated data flow between monday.com and your platform.

You can create templated recipes that can be added directly to a board; users can also connect your blocks themselves to create custom automations.
