Monday.com Gmail Integration

Convert Monday.com board activity into Gmail emails — notify clients or teammates the moment items change status.

What you can automate between monday and Gmail

  • Email clients on item status change

    New items trigger a Gmail kickoff email to the assignee with item link, due date, and context.

    Trigger
    New item added to Monday.com board
    Action
    Send kickoff email via Gmail

  • Due-date Gmail reminders

    Daily, Arahi scans boards for items due today and sends Gmail reminders to the assigned owners.
