About monday workflows

monday workflows is a powerful platform component that allows users to automate their processes. Through the visual workflow builder, users can combine blocks of triggers, actions, and conditions to assemble the perfect workflow.

The apps framework exposes two features to build custom blocks and fields:

Integration for monday workflows
Custom field for monday workflows

You can develop custom blocks with their own data handling using these app features. You can create both actions and trigger blocks that can be combined with any other blocks in the workflow builder to create flexible integration recipes. Each block is comprised of:

Public endpoints for the monday apps server to send requests
Input fields that specify what data your block needs to run
Output fields that define what data your block sends to the next block

You'll also configure input and output fields for your blocks. You can select these fields from monday's built-in field types, or you can create custom fields with the custom field for monday workflows app feature.

Combined, these app features open up a world of possibilities. They offer a flexible, highly customizable solution to build powerful and efficient integrations, ultimately helping streamline business processes.

With the workflow builder, the sky is the limit!
