Google Docs to Monday setup steps
1. Select Google Docs
Click the Google Docs icon to select it as your source of tasks and events.
2. Connect Google Docs
Note: Google Docs setup requires a two-step process to 1) connect your account, and 2) authorize access to specific Docs.
Grant permission to connect TaskClone to your Google Drive/Docs account. You will authorize access to specific Docs in a later step. Be sure you're authorizing the specific Google Docs account you want to use. When you are returned to TaskClone, click "Next" to continue.
3. Select Monday as your destination
Click the Monday icon if visible or select Monday using search field. Click “Next” button to save and continue.
4. Find your Monday Email Address
Monday.com creates a special email address for Non-account members like TaskClone to send items into your Monday account. This email address has a embedded code in it and is different than the email used by account members.
Send new item to a board. See image below on finding the special email address. The format is "board-[board-number]-[code]@[company].monday.com".
Send update to existing item (e.g. project). Open the updates section for the item and click the link "Write updates via email" (see image below). This will display and email address for the item. You will need to add the code part of the Board email address (see section above) to this item email address for it to work. The format is "pulse-[item-number]-[code]@[company].monday.com".
5. Enter Destination Email for Monday
Paste unique email from Monday in the Destination Email field that appears in the TaskClone setup wizard.
6. Finish
Click Finish button. You're now connected, but there is one more step.
7. Authorize Individual Google Documents
Because Google Docs requires granting access to each specific Doc you want us to process, we've built a simple Google Docs Add-on to make that easy from within Google Docs. Install our Google Docs Add-on just once (see instructions) and then use the add-on whenever you want to grant access to one or more Google Docs (see instructions).
