Create detailed project timeline and resource allocation for Accountability jobs within Monday Workflow Management

Overview 

Accountability's open API enables agencies to integrate project management tools, like Monday.com, with Accountability's Job Management and Profitability workflow. 

This integration ensures that all projects executed and tracked with Monday Work Management have a corresponding Job number in Accountability.  

You'll need a Monday Work Management account to use this integration. This integration works with the Pro and Enterprise versions of Monday WM.

    Configure your agency-specific workflow in Monday 

    Now that you have the list of Accountability Jobs within a dedicated Monday board, you can create the necessary automations to create a detailed project plan or timeline for each line item.  For example:

    • You could create an automation in Monday to use a specific project plan template based on the Accountability Job Type.  

    • You could create an automation so that project boards for a specific client (using the Client Name from Accountability) are added to a specified folder within a specified workspace. 

Reach out to your Monday Admin or Admin integrator for more details.
