Monday - Microsoft 365 Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between Monday.com and Microsoft 365

1. Project and task synchronization with Outlook and Microsoft Teams

Data flow: Monday.com ? Microsoft 365

When a project board is updated in Monday.com, key milestones, due dates, and assignees can be pushed into Outlook calendars and Microsoft Teams channels. In the other direction, meeting outcomes or action items captured in Teams can be converted into Monday.com tasks automatically.

• Keep project teams aligned on deadlines and meeting schedules
• Reduce manual follow-up after status meetings
• Improve accountability by turning decisions into tracked work items

2. Document collaboration for project deliverables

Data flow: Monday.com ? SharePoint and OneDrive

Teams can store project documents, briefs, and approvals in SharePoint or OneDrive while linking those files directly to Monday.com items. Status changes in Monday.com can trigger document version updates or approval requests in Microsoft 365.

• Centralize project files with controlled access and version history
• Make it easier for stakeholders to find the latest approved documents
• Support auditability for regulated or document-heavy workflows

3. Executive reporting and operational dashboards
