Notion and Monday both have USPs for project management - Notion provides a better ecosystem with Monday could be better suited for core tasks like automation, workflow management. But they also lack in certain aspects - Monday in data organization and knowledge-base capabilities, Notion in analytics and structured task tracking.
They still individually meet most requirements for most teams but together, they plug each other’s shortcomings, providing more holistic project management and enhanced productivity.
TL;DR
Here’s the step-wise process of integrating Notion with Monday:
1. Access the Notion settings screen
2. Import Monday into Notion
3. Integrate the two tools with Monday’s API token
Let’s dive into details.
1. Access the Notion settings screen
Click on ‘Settings’ in your Notion sidebar.
2. Integrate Notion with Monday
Access the ‘Import data’ screen by clicking on the ‘Import’ option under the workspace settings section and then select ‘Monday.com’ from the list of tools.
3. Provide your Monday.com account details
Selecting ‘Monday.com’ pops up another view where you need to enter:
- The email address associated with your Monday account
- The API token from Monday
You already have the email address, let’s grab the API token next and put it into the window.
4. Generate a personal API token for you Monday account
An API token is a secure key that allows tools to communicate. For Monday to share information with Notion - sync tasks, pull project data, update automations, Notion must be able to access its API. This token also lets Notion update Monday boards, keeping both tools in sync at all times.
To access Monday’s API token:
1. Access the Admin screen of your Monday account
Log into your Monday.com account, click on the profile image, and click on the ‘Administration’ option.
2. Go to the ‘Connections’ screen
First, click the ‘Connections’ option available in the sidebar and then click the ‘API’ tab.
3. Generate the API token for your Monday account
Click on ‘Generate’ to create your unique API token and then on ‘Copy’ to copy it to the clipboard.
Head back to Notion, paste the API key, and click on the ‘Authenticate’ button to complete the Notion-Monday integration.
Alternate method: Embed Monday in Notion
While it doesn’t count as a full integration, you can connect the two tools by embedding a Monday CRM workspace into a Notion page. This provides view access to Monday right from your Notion workspace.
Here’s how this works:
1. Make you Monday table shareable
1. Go to the Monday table view that you want to embed into Notion
2. Click the three-dots icon next to the table view’s name and click the ‘Share view’ option
For example, in the screenshots, we are setting up the embedding of the ‘Main table’ under the ‘Project’ workspace into Notion.
3. Copy the ‘Shareable link’ from the new screen
2. Embed the Monday view in Notion
Paste the link in a Notion page and click the ‘Embed’ option.
3. Access Monday from your Notion page
Monday is not successfully embedded into your Notion page.
You can click and drag along the edge-lines to resize the view.
