Many organizations around the world use Monday.com for organizing, tracking, and managing their work. You maintain different items under different boards to manage different teams. Documentation is one such team with multiple writers, editors, and external content agencies.

Use Case

You have chosen Document360 as your Knowledge base platform. Your company works with multiple external vendors for content contribution. Monday.com makes for a good collaboration platform, but you have the task of adding the articles created on Monday.com onto the Document360 knowledge base. Yes, it can be done manually, but it takes more effort, is time-consuming, and the probability of the mishap is high.

Currently, there is no direct integration option available between Monday.com and Document360 from either of the platforms.

Workaround

As a workaround, you can use Zapier integration to bridge this gap. By connecting Monday.com and Document360 on Zapier, you can easily facilitate the content flow between these platforms.

Ensure that you have logged into your Zapier account.
