Setting up Authentication

1. Login to your Monday.com account.
2. Click on your avatar icon at the top right corner, for a dropdown menu.
3. Under the newly appeared dropdown, head over to the ‘Developers’ tab.
   
   
   
   
4. Once in the Developer tab, head over to create a new app, or edit an existing app.
   
   
   
   During creation:
   • use the Redirect URL: ‘https://connector.qlikcloud.com/callback’
   • make sure we have at least these scopes enabled, for smooth functioning:

     • updates:read
     • updates:write
     • tags:read
     • teams:read
     • assets:read
5. If you plan on using this app yourself, you can simply publish and generate the ‘client_id’ and ‘client_secret’ under ‘Basic Information’ section and connect in Qlik Application Automation with those values.
   
   
   
   
6. In case the user will be different from you, you can either add them into collaborators of your app, or share your app in the App Marketplace and setup installation for the other users.

Use Cases

1. Sending notifications to Monday.com when a new deal is created in Hubspot.
   
   Set up the “List Deals Incrementally” block from Hubspot and drag the ‘Create Notification’ block from Monday.com, configure by selecting things like ‘User Id’ of the person to create notification, text that goes in the notification, project/post information of the notification etc.
   
   
   
   Similarly, we can also setup notifications when something occurs in Monday.com to send alerts on email/slack/teams using respective connectors on Qlik Application Automation.
   
   
2. Sync JIRA with Monday.com 
   
   When a new item is created in Monday.com, create a ticket in JIRA. And write back to Monday, that it has been updated to JIRA with issue ID.
   
   Also, if the ticket is already present, update the recent changes into JIRA.
   
   Below is an example flow depicting the same. We are also cross-storing IDs of JIRA and Monday into one another for easy access in updates.
   
   
   

   
   

Similar use-cases can be implemented with other ITSM tools like Service-Now etc.
