How to Send Monday.com Status Alerts to Slack with Make

make.com > Scenarios > Create a new scenario

Create a new Make scenario

Log in to Make at make.com and click the blue 'Create a new scenario' button in the top right of your Scenarios dashboard. You'll land on an empty canvas with a large plus icon in the center. This is where your trigger module goes. Give your scenario a name by clicking the default title at the top — something like 'Monday Status → Slack' keeps it findable later.

1. 1Log in to make.com
2. 2Click 'Create a new scenario' in the top right
3. 3Click the pencil icon next to the default scenario name
4. 4Type a descriptive name like 'Monday Status → Slack Notifications'

Scenario Canvas > + > Monday.com > Watch Events (Instant)

Add the Monday.com trigger module

Click the plus circle in the center of the canvas. A search panel slides in from the right. Type 'Monday' and select the Monday.com app. You'll see a list of triggers — choose 'Watch Events (Instant)'. This uses Monday.com's native webhook system, so the scenario fires within seconds of a board change instead of polling every 15 minutes.

1. 1Click the plus circle on the canvas
2. 2Type 'Monday' in the search bar
3. 3Select 'Monday.com' from the results
4. 4Click 'Watch Events (Instant)' from the trigger list

Monday.com Module > Connection > Add > OAuth Flow

Connect your Monday.com account

Click 'Add' next to the Connection field to create a new Monday.com connection. Make redirects you to a Monday.com OAuth screen — log in with the account that has access to the boards you want to monitor. After authorization, Make redirects back to the module dialog and shows your connection name in the dropdown. Monday.com requires the connection account to have at least 'Member' access on the target board.

1. 1Click 'Add' in the Connection field
2. 2In the popup, click 'Authorize' to start OAuth
3. 3Log in to Monday.com if prompted
4. 4Click 'Allow' on the Monday.com permissions screen
5. 5Confirm your connection name appears in the dropdown

Monday.com Module > Event Type > Board ID

Configure the Monday.com event trigger

With the connection set, configure which events and boards to watch. Set the 'Event Type' dropdown to watch status changes — select 'Change Column Value' for status updates, or add separate event types using Make's filter logic later. Set 'Board ID' to the specific board you want to monitor — click the dropdown and pick from your boards by name. If you leave Board ID blank, the trigger fires for ALL board changes across your account, which usually generates too much noise.

1. 1Set 'Event Type' to 'Change Column Value'
2. 2Click the 'Board ID' dropdown
3. 3Select the target board by name from the list
4. 4Leave 'Group ID' blank to watch all groups, or select a specific group
5. 5Click OK to save the module

Scenario Canvas > Run once > (switch to Monday.com and trigger an event)

Register the Make webhook in Monday.com

Make needs to tell Monday.com where to send event data. After saving the module, Make prompts you to 'Run once' to register the webhook. Click 'Run once' at the bottom of the canvas, then go to your Monday.com board and manually change any item's status. Make captures this test payload and maps the field structure. Without this test run, Make doesn't know what data fields Monday.com will send.

1. 1Click 'Run once' at the bottom left of the Make canvas
2. 2Switch to your Monday.com board in a new tab
3. 3Change any item's status column to a different value
4. 4Switch back to Make and wait for the bubble to appear on the trigger module
5. 5Click the bubble to inspect the captured data

Scenario Canvas > Arrow between modules > Wrench icon > Set up a filter

Add a filter to target status columns only

The 'Change Column Value' trigger fires for ANY column change — text edits, date changes, assignee updates, everything. You need a filter to pass only status column changes to Slack. Click the small wrench icon on the arrow between the trigger module and the next module, then select 'Set up a filter'. Set the condition to: Column ID contains 'status' (or use the exact column ID you captured in step 5, like 'status' or 'color'). This stops irrelevant column changes from generating Slack noise.

1. 1Hover over the arrow after the Monday.com trigger module
2. 2Click the wrench/filter icon that appears
3. 3Click 'Add AND condition'
4. 4Set Field to 'Column ID' from the trigger output
5. 5Set Operator to 'Equal to' and type 'status' (or your exact column ID)

Scenario Canvas > + > Slack > Create a Message

Add the Slack module

Click the plus icon after the filter to add the next module. Search for 'Slack' and select it. Choose the action 'Create a Message'. This posts a message to a channel you specify. Connect your Slack workspace using OAuth — Make will ask for permission to post messages on your behalf. Select the correct workspace if you're in multiple Slack workspaces.

1. 1Click the plus icon after the filter arrow
2. 2Search for 'Slack' and select the app
3. 3Choose 'Create a Message' as the action
4. 4Click 'Add' in the Connection field
5. 5Authorize Make to access your Slack workspace via OAuth

Slack Module > Channel > Text

Configure the Slack message content

Set the Channel field to the Slack channel where notifications should post — type the channel name or pick from the dropdown. Build the message text using the dynamic values captured from the Monday.com payload. Click inside the Text field and use Make's variable panel (the blue pill icons) to insert fields. A useful message template: '*{{Item Name}}* status changed to *{{New Value}}* on the {{Board Name}} board.' Keep it short — one line reads better in Slack than a wall of text.

1. 1Click the Channel dropdown and select your target Slack channel
2. 2Click inside the Text field
3. 3Type your message prefix, e.g., '*Status Update:* '
4. 4Click the blue variable picker and select 'Item Name' from Monday.com output
5. 5Add ' changed to ' then insert 'New Value', then ' on ' then insert 'Board Name'

Scenario Canvas > Flow line wrench > Add a Router > Configure Routes

Add a router for deadline notifications (optional but recommended)

If you also want to catch deadline-based notifications, add a Router module before the Slack module. Click the wrench on the existing flow line and select 'Add a router'. Route 1 handles status changes (your existing filter). Route 2 handles items where the deadline date equals today — use Make's date formula: formatDate(now; 'YYYY-MM-DD') equals the item's date column value. Each route can post to a different Slack channel or use a different message format.

1. 1Right-click the flow line after the trigger module
2. 2Select 'Add a router'
3. 3Label Route 1 'Status Changes' and Route 2 'Deadline Alerts'
4. 4On Route 2, set filter: Date Column equals {{formatDate(now; 'YYYY-MM-DD')}}
5. 5Add a second Slack module on Route 2 with a deadline-specific message

Scenario Canvas > Run once > Monday.com board > Verify Slack channel

Test the full scenario with a real Monday.com change

Click 'Run once' on the canvas, then go to your Monday.com board and change a real item's status. Watch the execution flow animate across the modules in Make — green bubbles mean data passed through, red means an error. Click each bubble to see exactly what data entered and exited that module. Confirm the Slack message arrived in the correct channel with the right item name and status value.

1. 1Click 'Run once' at the bottom of the Make canvas
2. 2Switch to Monday.com and change any item's status on your target board
3. 3Return to Make and watch the execution animation
4. 4Click each module's result bubble to inspect the data
5. 5Open Slack and confirm the message posted to the correct channel

Scenario Canvas > Toggle (bottom left) > Activate > Scenario Settings

Activate the scenario and set scheduling

Flip the toggle at the bottom left of the canvas from OFF to ON. Make asks you to confirm — click 'Activate'. Since this uses an instant webhook trigger, you do not need to set a polling interval. The scenario stays on standby and fires only when Monday.com sends an event. Set the scenario's 'Maximum number of cycles' to 1 under scenario settings — each Monday.com event should process as a single execution.

1. 1Click the OFF/ON toggle at the bottom left of the canvas
2. 2Click 'Activate' in the confirmation dialog
3. 3Click 'Scenario settings' (gear icon at the bottom)
4. 4Confirm 'Maximum number of cycles' is set to 1
5. 5Click Save

Paste this formula into the Slack module's Text field using Make's formula editor (click the variable pill, then switch to 'Formula' mode). It conditionally adds a red circle emoji and different message phrasing when the status is 'Blocked', and formats the timestamp to a readable local time — both things you'd otherwise need a separate router and two Slack modules to accomplish.

if(
  contains({{3.event.value.label.text}}; "Blocked");
  "🔴 *Blocked Alert:* " & {{3.event.pulseName}} & " is now Blocked" &

if(
  contains({{3.event.value.label.text}}; "Blocked");
  "🔴 *Blocked Alert:* " & {{3.event.pulseName}} & " is now Blocked" &
  " (was " & {{3.event.previousValue.label.text}} & ")" &
  " — changed at " & formatDate({{3.event.changedAt}}; "MMM D, h:mm A") &
  ". <https://monday.com/boards/" & {{3.event.boardId}} &
  "/pulses/" & {{3.event.pulseId}} & "|View item →>";
  "*Status Update:* " & {{3.event.pulseName}} &
  " moved from *" & {{3.event.previousValue.label.text}} &
  "* → *" & {{3.event.value.label.text}} & "*" &
  " — " & formatDate({{3.event.changedAt}}; "MMM D, h:mm A") &
  ". <https://monday.com/boards/" & {{3.event.boardId}} &
  "/pulses/" & {{3.event.pulseId}} & "|View item →>"
