How to start submitting proofs using monday.com?

The way of triggering a new proof from monday.com depends on the selected type of integration:


When an item with a file is created using a form, create a proof in Ziflow.

1. Use the monday.com Form to add a New item

Firstly, make sure that you've added a Files column to your board. Then, add the monday.com Form by clicking on the Add view button.

Add a files column to your board and the create a form that will be used for uploading assets

The created form can be used to add new Monday.com items along with files that will be pushed to Ziflow.

Open added monday.com form and upload files that will appear in your monday.com board and then will be sent to Ziflow

This mechanism will automatically add a new item to your monday.com board each time someone submits a Form. When a new item is added to the board, the Integration will send a file to Ziflow, and a new Proof will be added.


When adding a file to a Files column, create a proof in Ziflow.

1. Add a file directly from an Add/Manage file picker or drag & drop the file directly in a file column.

Click on an Add/Manage files button for the monday.com item where you want to place a proof and upload the file using your preferred method.

How does Ziflow notify monday.com about created/failed proofs?

After connecting monday.com with Ziflow, you will notice two flows being automatically added to the list of your Ziflow flows.

Flows that will inform about created/failed proofs are added automatically to Ziflow flow list

These flows will send information about proofs being successfully created or when a proof fails. This way, you'll be notified about such events inside your monday.com account.

Additional information:

  • Currently, in monday.com, you cannot control how the proofing project will look on the Ziflow side. Proofs are created with a single reviewer (proof owner) and with empty proof settings. You can however edit the proof afterward and adjust it according to your needs. Simply open the Proof Details Page, add reviewers & edit needed settings.
