make.powerautomate.com > My flows > + New flow > Automated cloud flow

Create a new Automated cloud flow in Power Automate

Go to make.powerautomate.com and sign in with your Microsoft 365 account. In the left sidebar, click 'My flows', then click '+ New flow' at the top. Select 'Automated cloud flow' from the dropdown — this is the option that fires based on an external event, which is what Monday.com's webhook will use. Give the flow a name like 'Monday Status → Slack Notify', then click 'Skip' when prompted to choose a trigger from the dialog (you'll add it manually).

1. 1Click 'My flows' in the left sidebar
2. 2Click '+ New flow' at the top of the page
3. 3Select 'Automated cloud flow'
4. 4Type a name like 'Monday Status → Slack Notify'
5. 5Click 'Skip' on the trigger selection dialog

Flow canvas > Add a trigger > Search 'Monday.com' > When a status column changes

Add the Monday.com 'When a status changes' trigger

Click the 'Add a trigger' box on the canvas. In the search bar that appears, type 'Monday.com'. Select the Monday.com connector from the results. You'll see a list of available triggers — choose 'When a status column changes'. Power Automate will immediately prompt you to create or select a Monday.com Connection.

1. 1Click the 'Add a trigger' box
2. 2Type 'Monday.com' in the search bar
3. 3Click the Monday.com connector tile
4. 4Select 'When a status column changes' from the trigger list

Monday.com > Avatar > Developers > My Access Tokens

Authenticate your Monday.com connection

Click 'Sign in' in the trigger card. A popup will open asking for your Monday.com API token — this is not your password. Log in to Monday.com, click your avatar in the bottom-left, go to 'Developers', then 'My Access Tokens', and copy the personal API token. Paste it into the Power Automate popup and click 'Create'. The connection will be saved under your account and reusable across other flows.

1. 1Click 'Sign in' inside the trigger card
2. 2Open Monday.com in a new tab
3. 3Click your avatar in the bottom-left corner
4. 4Click 'Developers', then 'My Access Tokens'
5. 5Copy your personal API token and paste it into the Power Automate popup
6. 6Click 'Create'

Flow canvas > Monday.com trigger card > Board ID > Column ID

Configure the trigger: select board and status column

With the connection established, the trigger card now shows two required fields: 'Board ID' and 'Column ID'. Click the 'Board ID' dropdown — it will list all boards your Monday.com account can access. Select the board you want to monitor. Then click the 'Column ID' dropdown and select the status column you want to track, typically named 'Status' or 'Stage'. If you want to trigger on any status column change, you may need to add one trigger per column.

1. 1Click the 'Board ID' dropdown and select your target board
2. 2Click the 'Column ID' dropdown
3. 3Select the status column (e.g., 'Status' or 'Stage')

Flow canvas > + New step > Search 'Parse JSON' > Data Operation – Parse JSON

Add a 'Parse JSON' action to extract item details

Click '+ New step' below the trigger. Search for 'Parse JSON' and select the 'Data Operation – Parse JSON' action. This step lets you pull specific fields (item name, new status, person, board name) out of Monday.com's webhook payload cleanly. In the 'Content' field, click inside and select 'Body' from the dynamic content panel — this is the raw JSON Monday.com sends. For the Schema, click 'Generate from sample' and paste in the sample payload below.

1. 1Click '+ New step'
2. 2Type 'Parse JSON' in the search bar
3. 3Select 'Data Operation – Parse JSON'
4. 4Click in the 'Content' field and choose 'Body' from dynamic content
5. 5Click 'Generate from sample' and paste the Monday.com sample payload

Flow canvas > + New step > Search 'Condition' > Control – Condition

Add a condition to filter by specific status values (optional but recommended)

Click '+ New step', search for 'Condition', and select the 'Control – Condition' action. This lets you send Slack messages only when an item moves to a specific status — for example, 'Blocked', 'Done', or 'In Review' — instead of every single status change. In the left field of the condition, select 'columnValue' from the Parse JSON dynamic content. Set the operator to 'is equal to' and type the exact status label in the right field, matching case exactly as it appears in Monday.com.

1. 1Click '+ New step'
2. 2Search for 'Condition' and select 'Control – Condition'
3. 3Click the left field and select 'columnValue' from dynamic content
4. 4Set the operator dropdown to 'is equal to'
5. 5Type the exact status label (e.g., 'Blocked') in the right field

Condition > If yes > Add an action > Search 'Slack' > Post message

Add the Slack 'Post message' action in the 'If yes' branch

Inside the 'If yes' branch of your condition, click 'Add an action'. Search for 'Slack' and select the Slack connector. Choose the 'Post message' action. Power Automate will prompt you to sign in to Slack — click 'Sign in' and authorize the connection using your Slack workspace credentials. Once connected, you'll see fields for Channel and Message Text.

1. 1Click 'Add an action' inside the 'If yes' branch
2. 2Type 'Slack' in the search bar
3. 3Select the Slack connector
4. 4Choose 'Post message'
5. 5Click 'Sign in' and authorize with your Slack account

Flow canvas > Slack action card > Channel > Message Text

Configure the Slack channel and message content

In the 'Channel' field, type the exact Slack channel name with the # prefix — for example, #project-updates. Do not use the channel ID unless Power Automate's dropdown doesn't list your channel. In the 'Message Text' field, build your notification using dynamic content from the Parse JSON step. A clear message format is: '🔔 *[pulseName]* moved to *[columnValue]* on board [boardName]. Changed by: [userName]'. Click on each bracketed item and replace it with the matching dynamic content field.

1. 1Type your Slack channel name in the 'Channel' field (e.g., #project-updates)
2. 2Click in the 'Message Text' field
3. 3Type your message prefix, then insert 'pulseName' from dynamic content
4. 4Continue building the message, inserting 'columnValue', 'boardName', and 'userName'

make.powerautomate.com > My flows > + New flow > Automated cloud flow > Monday.com – When a new item is created

Add a parallel branch for item creation notifications (optional)

If you also want to notify Slack when a new Monday.com item is created — not just when status changes — you need a separate flow. Power Automate does not support multiple triggers in a single flow. Go back to 'My flows', create a new Automated cloud flow, and this time choose the Monday.com trigger 'When a new item is created'. Follow the same Slack action steps above, adjusting the message text to say 'New item created' instead of a status change.

1. 1Go to My flows and click '+ New flow'
2. 2Select 'Automated cloud flow'
3. 3Search for Monday.com and choose 'When a new item is created'
4. 4Configure the same board and Slack channel settings
5. 5Adjust the message text to reflect item creation context

Flow canvas > Save > Test > Manually > Save & Test

Test the flow with a real Monday.com status change

Click 'Save' in the top right of the flow canvas, then click 'Test' (also top right). Choose 'Manually' and then 'Save & Test'. Power Automate will now wait for a trigger event. Switch to your Monday.com board and change the status of any item to the value you configured in your condition. Watch the Power Automate test panel — it will show each step turning green as it completes. Check your Slack channel within 2 minutes for the notification.

1. 1Click 'Save' in the top-right corner of the canvas
2. 2Click 'Test' in the top-right corner
3. 3Select 'Manually' and then click 'Save & Test'
4. 4Go to your Monday.com board and change an item's status
5. 5Return to Power Automate and watch each step turn green

make.powerautomate.com > My flows > [Flow name] > 28-day run history

Turn the flow on and monitor run history

After a successful test, click 'Turn on' if the flow is still in draft mode. Go to 'My flows', find your flow, and click it to open the detail view. The '28-day run history' section at the bottom shows every execution — green for success, red for failure. Check back after 24 hours of real usage to confirm no runs are failing. If you see failures, click the failed run to see exactly which step errored and what the error message says.

1. 1Click 'Turn on' if the flow shows as inactive
2. 2Navigate to My flows in the left sidebar
3. 3Click your flow name to open the detail page
4. 4Scroll to '28-day run history' and review initial runs
5. 5Click any failed run to open the error detail view

Paste this expression into a 'Compose' action immediately after Parse JSON to build a formatted Slack message with a deep link to the Monday.com item and an emoji that changes based on status. Reference the Compose action's output in the Slack 'Message Text' field instead of building the message inline.
