Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Monday integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Monday calls, fills the parameters, and checks the result.
    • Structured, agent friendly tool schemas so each call runs reliably instead of by guesswork.
    • Rich coverage for reading, writing, and querying your Monday data, across all 121 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke Monday access.
    • Per user and per environment credentials instead of shared keys.

  3. Agent optimized design

    • Actions are tuned from real success and error rates so reliability climbs over time.
    • Full execution logs so you always know what ran in Monday, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when Monday is unclear instead of plowing ahead.

  4. Enterprise grade security

    • Fine grained access so you control which agents and people can reach Monday.
    • Least privilege by default, read scopes first and only the writes a workflow needs.
    • A full audit trail of every Monday action to support review and sign off.

Supported tools

Every action Ceven's agents can run on Monday, and when to use it.

Create board
Use this to spin up a new board from a template or a blank slate when a new project or client starts.
Create item
Add a new task or record to a board. Use this for incoming leads, bug reports, or new action items.
Change column value
Update a status, date, or text field for a specific item. Use this to move tasks through a pipeline.
Create group
Organize items by adding a new group to a board. Common for splitting projects into phases or sprints.
List boards
Pull a list of all accessible boards to find the right ID for downstream workflow steps.
List board items
Retrieve every item on a board to audit progress or generate a summary report.
Move item to group
Shift an item from one group to another on the same board to signal a change in stage.
Move item to board
Transfer an item to a completely different board. Use this when a lead converts to a project.
Add users to board
Grant a user access to a board with a specific role to start collaboration.
Archive item
Remove a completed or irrelevant item from the active view without deleting the data.
Duplicate item
Copy an existing item and its updates to create a similar task quickly.
List users
Pull all users in the account to map external emails to Monday user IDs.
Archive board
Archives a specified, existing, and unarchived board in monday.com; archived boards can typically be restored later.
Change simple column value
Changes a specific column's value for a monday.com item using a simple string, suitable for text, status, or dropdown columns; can create new labels if `create labels if missing` is true for status/dropdown columns.
Create a Monday board
Creates a monday.com board; `template id` if used must be accessible, and `folder id` must be in `workspace id` if both are provided.
Create column
Creates a new column with a specified type and title on a monday.com board.
Delete column
Deletes a specified column from a monday.com board; this action is destructive and cannot be undone via the api.
Delete group
Permanently deletes an existing group (and its items) from an existing board in monday.com.
Delete item
Permanently deletes an existing monday.com item; this action is irreversible via the api.
Get group details
Retrieves details (id, title, color, archived/deleted status) for a specific group on an accessible monday.com board.
List Monday boards
Retrieves a list of boards from a monday.com account, supporting pagination and filtering by state.
List columns
Lists all columns and their properties for a specified monday.com `board id`; the board must exist.
List items
Retrieves specified subitems from monday.com using their ids, returning the raw json response.
Update board
Updates a specified attribute of an existing board on monday.com.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven uses OAuth 2.0 to connect to your Monday account. When you start the integration, you are redirected to the Monday login page where you grant specific permissions. Once you approve, Monday sends an authorization code to Ceven, which we exchange for an access token and a refresh token. We store these tokens in an encrypted vault. The access token is short lived and used for individual API calls, while the refresh token allows the agent to maintain the connection without requiring you to log in every few hours. You can revoke this access instantly from your Monday account settings.
Yes, the agent can create new columns with specific types and titles. This is useful when a workflow requires a new data point that was not in the original board template. For example, if a new client requirement emerges, the agent can add a checkbox column to track a specific compliance step across all active items. It can then populate those columns using data pulled from other tools. Just ensure the agent has the correct board permissions to modify the structure, as some restricted boards may block structural changes via the API.
If a board is deleted, any workflow relying on that specific board ID will fail because the API will return a 404 not found error. Ceven will trigger an error notification to the workflow owner. To fix this, you will need to update the workflow to point to a new board ID. We recommend archiving boards instead of deleting them, as archived boards can be recovered and the agent can be configured to ignore archived items while still maintaining the connection to the board entity itself.
Ceven can interact with subitems through the API. The agent can list subitems associated with a parent item and update their values. However, subitems are treated as separate entities in the Monday API, meaning they have their own unique IDs. When you ask the agent to update a task, you must be specific about whether you are targeting the parent item or a specific subitem. The agent handles this by first querying the item structure to find the correct subitem ID before applying any changes to the columns.
Yes, Ceven is subject to the Monday API rate limits. Monday uses a complexity based scoring system rather than a simple request count. Each action, like creating an item or updating a column, consumes a certain amount of complexity points. If a workflow attempts to update thousands of items in a few seconds, Monday may return a 429 too many requests error. Ceven manages this by implementing an exponential backoff strategy, automatically pausing and retrying requests to ensure your data syncs without hitting the hard ceiling.
Absolutely. This is a core strength of the integration. You can set up a workflow where an item is moved from a lead board to a project board the moment a deal is marked as won in your CRM. The agent uses the move item to board action, which preserves the item identity while changing its location. You can also map column values during this move to ensure that data from the lead stage is correctly placed into the project stage columns without losing any historical context.
Ceven operates with the permissions of the user who authorized the OAuth connection. If the connecting user is an admin, the agent can create boards, add users, and delete items. If the user has viewer only access to certain boards, the agent will receive a permission denied error when attempting to write to those boards. We recommend connecting with a dedicated service account that has the exact level of access needed for the workflows to prevent the agent from accidentally modifying sensitive boards it should not touch.
Ceven can monitor Monday boards for changes using webhooks. When a column value changes or an item is created, Monday sends a notification to Ceven. This allows the agent to trigger downstream actions in other tools. For instance, when a status changes to approved on a Monday board, Ceven can automatically send a notification to the client via email or create a ticket in Jira. This creates a bidirectional flow where Monday acts as the command center for your entire operational stack.
