How to integrate monday work management with Google Calendar

monday work management is an outstanding project management platform. With it, you can create multiple workspaces that can contain dashboards, tables, charts, kanban, Gantt, cards, forms, file galleries and much more. monday work management also offers automations and integrations.

One such integration is Google Calendar. If, like me, you depend on Google Calendar to keep your busy life organized, you might find yourself wanting to integrate these two platforms. With this integration, you can sync all of your items and tasks to the external calendar so you can view everything in one convenient place.

The Google Calendar monday work management integration offers three different recipes for integration:

• When an item is created or updated, monday work management will create an event in Google Calendar and sync future changes to the board.
• When a person is assigned to someone, create an event in Google Calendar and sync future changes from this board.
• When an event is created in Google Calendar, create an item and sync future changes from Google Calendar.

Which recipe you choose will depend on your workflow with both services. Just remember, if you have a very busy monday work management board (or a very busy Google Calendar) if you choose the wrong option you could wind up with a mess on your hands. So, make sure you know what you need from this integration before moving forward.

What you’ll need to integrate

The only things you’ll need for this integration are both a monday work management account and a Google Calendar with which to sync. That’s it…let’s integrate.

How to integrate monday work management and Google Calendar

From your monday work management account, click the Integrate button near the top right of the window (Figure A).
