We’ve recently become an official monday.com Partner and I’m looking for a couple of businesses where we can get stuck into a real-world setup and build some more case studies.
So rather than trying to sell anything, I thought I’d offer the setup completely free to someone in here.
If you’re currently using monday.com but feel like it’s a bit messy, underused, or you know it could be doing a lot more for your business, I’d be happy to take a look and help build it out properly.
Equally, if you’re new to monday and have a process you’re trying to move across, we can help with that too.
There’s genuinely no charge. The only thing we’d ask is that, if you’re happy with what we build, you’re okay with us using the project as a case study afterwards.
Ideally looking for a business with a small team and an actual workflow/process we can get our teeth into, rather than just a personal to-do list.
If anyone could use the help, comment below or drop me a message 👍

Hi, we have started using Monday for project planning and risk logs etc. We have quite large and complex boards, finding things can be a pain and we are constantly being asked if IDs can be added or built in, Auto number works to an extent - but it won’t filter to subitems. Or in different groups it would be highly useful to add different prefix’s or risk 1, issue 1 etc.

Has anyone got any experience with this or worked out a good way round it?

Anyone have experience using Apollo with Monday CRM? Not entirely sure what the best workflow is for this tech stack as I’ve never used them in conjunction. My current organization currently has Monday and I requested Apollo, but they don’t seem to play very nice. Is it just me?

In the vibe editor page for each of my apps the page move so slowly that you can't do anything and gets worse and worse the longer the tab is open... This has been going on since the day the integration feature was added (at least for my account). I am not saying my apps are running slow I am saying the actual vibe editor page for each of the apps is lagging Insanely causing computer can nearly freeze

Want to see if anyone else is experiencing this....

Hi,

Anyone else in the process of getting an app approved? Mine is taking ages.

• Submitted 16/07
• First response was 21/07
• I filled out everything required by 22/07
• Got the following message on 14/08:

>Hello,
Thank you for the notification. I will proceed with reviewing the items requiring my attention.
Please note that due to ongoing internal changes, response times may be delayed.

We have a team board and a leadership roll-up that are supposed to match. They don't. Someone updates one and not the other and nobody notices for weeks.
Same with people — a board says someone has 4 items, their actual load across all boards is 11.
Right now I export both to Excel and VLOOKUP the differences. Is there a better way? Or an app that just shows you where two boards disagree (not a sync tool — I don't want them auto-matched, I want to see the gaps and decide).

How would you go about this? I have an item in Board A. When that item has status 'Complete', I want to auto-create an item in Board B, and automatically link it to the item in Board A (via connect board/mirror column).

I've built this which creates a duplicate of the item, then moves the original to Board B, but they're still not 'two linked items' in any way. I need one to have a reference to the other.

Hi there. I've tried contacting mods with no luck. There is a surge in the number of repeating AI-generated replies that concerns me. This subreddit is such an amazing place to connect, if those few strictly using it for personal gain with no regard for the genuine dwellers here, let it be.

(The ones replying when a post gets more than a certain number of views with an AI-gened answer)

I'm getting really frustrated with monday and how complex it is to get a simple automated schedule to appear.

I want to create a video content creation project/board with each task being one video. Each task would have the same subtasks each time: film, cut, graded, music, exported etc. etc. That I've done, I've created the workflow that automatically makes the subtasks appear for every new task.

And the next thing I wanted which I figured would be simple was if I set a date for the first subtask, it would fill in the rest of the due dates for the remainder of the tasks and then I could view it on a gantt chart to see what tasks were being completed. But I've been on it for hours trying automations and workflows and nothing seems to let me do it and I'm really surprised at how complicated it is to do what i'm thinking is a simple request.

Can anyone help? Or is monday restricted?

We're seeing a surge in the popularity of our Work OS, which is a good thing but has made it hard for us to enforce governance. Departments such as HR, IT, operations, facilities, and customer service want unique workspaces and automations for their needs. Each department's request can be substantiated by some reason, but meeting their individual requests leads to mounting configurations and inconsistent reporting as a result.

Because I'm the CIO, I wonder if this unrestricted growth today will lead us to higher support and administration costs in the future. Despite that, limiting customizations may lead to lower acceptance level of business users who would require complex workflows. I'm interested in learning from other successful organizations about how they have achieved governance with the help of Work OS while fostering innovation.

This example is from the official Monday hosted system itself, is it an Enterprise level feature?

I do implementation work on monday.com, and the part I keep getting stuck on isn't the boards, it's the step before the boards. Before I build anything, I need to actually understand how the client's process works: who owns what, where handoffs happen, what needs approval, what happens when something goes wrong.

Right now that's whiteboard or Miro, then me manually translating it into monday afterward. Which mostly works, but the map and the actual boards drift apart the moment the client's process changes and nobody goes back to update the diagram.

Been playing with something to close that gap, a way to map the process itself (not just the data) and have it stay connected to the boards instead of becoming a stale picture. Screenshot below of where it's at.

Genuinely curious how the rest of you handle this part of an engagement. Do you map it out first, or go straight into monday? What do you use? And does the drift thing actually bug you, or is it a non-issue in practice?

Drop a comment with how you approach it, I read all of these. If you want to see more of what I'm building, happy to grab time.

I’ve been working with monday.com for well over 10 years — building workflows, automations, dashboards, processes and operating systems for businesses that need more than just a collection of colourful boards.

Over that time, I’ve supported several companies and repeatedly found ways to make monday.com do things that people initially told me simply weren’t possible.

The way I’ve always explained the platform is this:

monday.com is like a huge box of Lego.

The pieces are already there. The real skill is understanding which pieces to use, how they fit together, and how to build something that genuinely works for the business using it.

A badly designed monday.com setup can quickly become another piece of software people avoid.

A well-designed one can become the operational backbone of a business.

I’ve spoken with monday.com sales teams over the years, including people I’ve dealt with directly around licensing, and I’ve applied through the usual channels to try to put that experience to use professionally.

So far, that route hasn’t led anywhere — which is disappointing, but perhaps it is also telling me something.

I’m now seriously considering two options:

1. Build my own monday.com consultancy, helping businesses with onboarding, workflow design, automation, integrations and improving existing setups.

2. Join an established consultancy or monday.com partner where I can focus on solving business problems and building systems rather than starting completely from scratch commercially.

What I’m trying to understand is whether there is genuinely a market for someone with this level of hands-on monday.com experience — particularly based in the North West of England — or whether geography makes an already niche market even smaller.

Personally, I struggle to believe geography should matter much anymore. Most discovery, design, implementation and training can be delivered remotely.

So I’d be interested to hear from people in the monday.com ecosystem, consultants, partners and businesses using the platform:

Is there a genuine opportunity here that I’m overlooking?

And perhaps more importantly:

If you were in my position, would you join a consultancy — or build one?

Appreciate any genuine feedback, introductions or thoughts.

Is the mac desktop app just not functional or am I the problem? I have tried uninstalling and redownloading over mulitple different days and it just does not seem to want to work. Just trying to troubleshoot because going to the website all the time is annoying.

I'm researching on the pain points of existing task managers like monday, clickup and etc, and I'd be happy to know the real users pain points and struggles. I'm trying to develop a startup for a new task/project management software, so I'll be so grateful if you tell me your honest opinions about what you are using right now and your struggles. Thank you.

Hi there, I'm trying to see if any big company (15+ people) is using monday AI with tangible results?

Not just for automatically assigning labels to items but actually getting work done with multi-agent workflows?

• What have you been able to replace?
• What's the impact and ROI?
• Is it cheaper or better than using external AI via API or other interfaces?

Are there specific companies that focus just on the construction industry?

Do they actually have construction background, or do they just niche to certain industries.

Looking at the partner website it looks like there are a few but are there others you'd recommend.

Is there documentation anywhere showing the differences between Monday Service and Work Management? Our account manager is trying to sell us on Service but I'm not entirely convinced we need it and he's not done the best job explaining the product to us.
