Monday.com integration

Aquilla can push a project’s translation progress onto a Monday.com board, so a manager who lives in Monday can see status without opening Aquilla.

Connecting the organization

Connect Monday.com once per organization, from Organization settings → Monday.com. Any org member can see whether the org is connected; only Maintainers and Owners can connect, reconnect, or disconnect it.

Choose Connect Monday.com. Aquilla asks whether you’re an admin on the Monday.com side:

Yes: it opens Monday’s own authorization screen in a new tab. Approve it there and you’re returned to Aquilla, connected.
No: it shows an official Add to monday.com install badge and a Copy install link button, so you can hand the link to whoever is a Monday admin.

Once connected, the settings page shows the connected Monday account, who connected it, and when. Click Disconnect to start over: Aquilla confirms first, since disconnecting removes every project’s board link across the whole org, not just one.

Linking a project to a board

Open a project’s Settings → Integrations tab. Once a project is linked to a Monday board, the project overview also shows quick shortcuts for maintainers: an Open board link and access to integration settings, visible on the overview’s Monday card.

What you see in project settings depends on your project role:

Maintainer or above, org connected: a Set up with AI button (with a Set it up manually instead link below it, if you’d rather pick the board yourself).
Maintainer or above, org not yet connected: a prompt to connect the org first, from the same panel.
Below Maintainer: a read-only note, either “No Monday board is linked to this project. Maintainers can set one up here,” or, if the org isn’t connected, “An org maintainer can connect it in organization settings.”

Setup in three steps

Both setup buttons open the same dialog, which reads Step 1 of 3, Step 2 of 3, and so on. Nothing is written to Monday until the last step. With Set up with AI, Aquilla reads your board names and columns plus this project’s progress figures and suggests a board; with Set it up manually instead, you pick the board yourself.

Which board? Two choices. The first is Aquilla’s pick (or, set up by hand, A board you already have), with a way to choose another board. The second is Make a new board for me, with a Board name box that reads “Aquilla progress” unless you change it. Aquilla then makes a clean board in your Monday account with only the columns you tick.
What should your board show? One list of everything Aquilla can fill, grouped, with Schedule and Team and activity among the groups. Tick what you want. Columns already on your board are used as they are, and any that are missing are marked New column. Aquilla ID is always included, so Aquilla can find this project’s row again. The recommended columns carry no one’s name. Tick Project manager or Translators and an amber note appears under them: “Everyone who can see {board} on Monday will see these names.” It also shows when the board already has one of those columns, and in Add columns on a linked board. Advanced: match columns myself lets you send a figure to a column you already have, and choose One item for the whole project or One item per file.
Ready to connect. A plain summary of what will happen, such as how many columns will be added and that Aquilla keeps its rows in an “Aquilla projects” group on the board. One button does it: Add columns and connect, or Connect when nothing new is needed. For a new board, it says what Aquilla will make and the button reads Make board and connect.

After you confirm, Aquilla adds the new columns, links the board, and pushes once, so “done” means a real push landed. If Monday refuses some columns, the dialog names them and says everything else is connected; you can add them later from the same page. If making a new board fails, the dialog says “Couldn’t make the board” with the reason, and nothing is connected yet. If the board was made but linking it failed, trying again reuses that board instead of making a second one. If the connected Monday account has no boards at all, step 1 opens on Make a new board for me: “This Monday account has no boards yet, so Aquilla will make one.”

After linking

Once linked, the same panel lets you turn the push on or off, trigger a Sync now for an immediate manual push, ask the AI to reconfigure the mapping from a short note, add more columns with Add columns, or Remove link, which unlinks the project without touching anything already on the Monday board. If someone adds a column on Monday after the link was saved, a banner lists it with Map it and Not needed buttons. Changing a setting that moves the board’s numbers, such as the validators needed or whether headings count, pushes the board again without waiting for the next edit.

On the organization’s Monday.com page, once the org is connected, a project list shows which projects are linked (“Linked to” the board) and which are “Not linked yet”, with Set up or Manage in project settings beside each.

What gets pushed, and when

While a link is active and sync is on, Aquilla pushes updated progress to the mapped board columns automatically as translation and validation work happens in the project. It runs on its own. Pushes are throttled rather than instantaneous, so expect a short delay rather than a live counter.
