Option 1: Microsoft 365 SharePoint Integration for monday.com
Best for: Teams who live in monday.com and work daily with Microsoft 365 files
Rating: 9/10
What it is
The Microsoft 365 SharePoint integration is a native monday.com Marketplace app built by David Simpson Apps — monday.com's Community Partner of the Year 2025, with 40,000+ installs, and enterprise customers including AT&T, Broadcom, IBM, Netflix, and NBCUniversal. It is purpose-built to make Microsoft 365 work inside monday.com, not alongside it.
What it does
- Browse SharePoint and OneDrive files inside monday.com boards – no tab-switching, no copy-paste
- Generate Word documents, PDFs, HTML emails, and Excel spreadsheets from monday.com item data using SharePoint-hosted templates
- Embed live Excel charts and cell data in monday.com dashboards
- Import and export Excel spreadsheets with column mapping
- Automate SharePoint workflows from monday.com automation recipes – folder creation, file organisation, document generation – without leaving monday.com
- Works with SharePoint, OneDrive, Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint across Microsoft 365
Hosted on monday.com's own SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA certified infrastructure.
Pricing
| Seats | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 2 | $0 | $0 |
| Up to 5 | $10 | $108 |
| Up to 10 | $20 | $216 |
| Up to 20 | $40 | $432 |
| Up to 50 | $80 | $864 |
| Up to 100 | $120 | $1,296 |
| Up to 200 | $200 | $2,160 |
| Up to 400 | $400 | $4,320 |
| 1,000+ | $1,400 | $15,120 |
All paid plans include unlimited automations. No per-action or per-document charges.
Setup
- Install from the monday.com Marketplace
- Authorise with Microsoft 365 (OAuth – one click)
- Add the Microsoft 365 column or widget to your board
- Done – under 10 minutes, no IT admin required
Pros
- Only option that embeds SharePoint files and Excel data inside monday.com
- Document generation from monday.com data (Word, PDF, HTML email) with no add-on
- Predictable per-seat pricing with no per-task or per-operation costs
- Automatic updates via the monday.com Marketplace – no maintenance burden
- Free plan for teams up to 2 seats
- Compliance-certified for enterprise procurement
Cons
- Works with Microsoft 365 and monday.com only – not a general automation platform
- Not the right choice if you need monday.com connected to Salesforce, HubSpot, or other non-Microsoft systems in the same workflow
Verdict
If your team works primarily in monday.com and handles Microsoft 365 files daily, this is the right tool. It is the only option in this list that makes Microsoft 365 a native part of the monday.com experience rather than a background service that moves data between platforms. For teams of 5–200, it is also the most cost-effective option by a significant margin.
Option 2: Microsoft Power Automate
Best for: Microsoft-first organisations with in-house Power Platform expertise already paying for Premium licences
Rating: 7/10
What it is
Power Automate is Microsoft's own workflow automation platform, part of the Power Platform alongside Power Apps, Power BI, and Power Pages. It connects monday.com and SharePoint through a visual flow canvas with 100+ SharePoint triggers and actions.
What it does
- Trigger flows when monday.com items are created, changed, or moved
- Trigger flows when SharePoint files or list items are created or modified
- Manage SharePoint document approval workflows (route, approve, reject, notify)
- Move and organise SharePoint files based on monday.com status changes
- Create, update, and delete SharePoint list items from monday.com events
- Send Teams notifications, Outlook emails, and Dataverse updates alongside SharePoint actions
- Connect monday.com to the broader Microsoft cloud: Dynamics 365, Azure, Dataverse, Teams
Pricing
Power Automate Premium: $15/user/month, billed annually.
Important: The monday.com connector is a Premium connector in Power Automate. Standard Microsoft 365 business plans include Power Automate for Microsoft services only. Connecting to monday.com requires Power Automate Premium or a per-flow licence ($150/flow/month) unless you already hold a plan that includes the monday.com connector.
| Team size | Power Automate Premium (monthly) |
|---|---|
| 5 users | $75 |
| 10 users | $150 |
| 20 users | $300 |
| 50 users | $750 |
| 100 users | $1,500 |
Verify your connector entitlement at learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors. If your organisation already pays for Power Automate Premium for Power Apps or other tools, the marginal cost of adding monday.com flows is zero.
Setup
Requires: licensing verification, IT/Azure AD admin involvement for Conditional Access policy alignment, individual flow building per automation (1–4 hours each), and ongoing flow maintenance as APIs update.
Pros
- Deep SharePoint capabilities: 100+ triggers and actions
- Native document approval engine – the best in this comparison for approval routing
- Free if your organisation already holds Power Automate Premium licences for other tools
- Connects monday.com to the full Microsoft cloud (Teams, Dynamics 365, Azure, Dataverse)
Cons
- Does not add any capabilities to the monday.com interface – files remain in SharePoint
- monday.com connector requires Premium licence; often costs more than teams expect
- IT admin involvement typically required for Conditional Access policy setup
- Each workflow requires individual flow building and ongoing maintenance
- No document generation without AI Builder add-on (additional cost)
Verdict
The right choice when your organisation already pays for Power Automate Premium, has in-house Power Platform expertise, and needs monday.com as one node in a broader Microsoft automation chain. Not cost-effective when acquired solely to connect monday.com and SharePoint – for that specific use case, Option 1 is faster and cheaper for most team sizes.

Option 3: Zapier
Best for: Teams already using Zapier to connect many tools, adding monday.com + SharePoint as one of several integrations
Rating: 6/10
What it is
Zapier is the most widely used general-purpose automation platform, connecting 7,000+ apps through trigger-action workflows called Zaps. It offers 8 pre-built templates connecting monday.com and SharePoint.
What it does between monday.com and SharePoint
- Create SharePoint folders when monday.com items are created
- Upload SharePoint files to monday.com columns
- Create SharePoint list items from monday.com board entries
- Update SharePoint records when monday.com column values change
- Create monday.com items from new SharePoint list items
Key limitation: Zapier's monday.com ↔ SharePoint integration currently supports one-way syncing from monday.com to SharePoint. Two-way sync is not supported. Advanced custom scripting is not supported within this integration.
Pricing
Zapier uses task-based pricing. The free plan includes 100 tasks/month.
| Monthly automation runs | Tasks consumed (3-step Zap) | Typical plan needed |
|---|---|---|
| 100 runs | 300 tasks | Free tier |
| 500 runs | 1,500 tasks | Starter |
| 2,000 runs | 6,000 tasks | Professional |
| 10,000 runs | 30,000 tasks | Team |
Task-based pricing becomes unpredictable for high-frequency monday.com boards. Verify current plan prices at zapier.com/pricing.
Setup
- Create Zapier account
- Authorise monday.com connector
- Authorise SharePoint connector
- Build each Zap (trigger → action → optional steps)
- Test and activate – repeat per automation
Typical setup: 30–60 minutes per Zap. No IT admin required.
Pros
- 7,000+ app connectors – if you need monday.com + SharePoint + Slack + HubSpot in one chain, Zapier handles it
- No IT admin required – self-service setup
- Widely understood – many teams have existing Zapier skills
- Free tier available
Cons
- Does not embed files or data inside monday.com – background automation only
- One-way sync only (monday.com → SharePoint)
- No document generation capability
- Task-based pricing scales unpredictably for active monday.com teams
- Only 8 pre-built monday.com ↔ SharePoint templates
Verdict
Choose Zapier when monday.com + SharePoint is one piece of a larger multi-app workflow and you already subscribe to Zapier for other integrations. As a standalone monday.com + Microsoft 365 tool, its one-way sync limitation and task-based pricing make it less suitable than the alternatives above.

Full comparison: Microsoft 365 App vs Zapier →
Option 4: Make (formerly Integromat)
Best for: Power users who need complex multi-step workflows with branching logic at a lower price than Zapier
Rating: 6/10
What it is
Make is a visual workflow automation platform with a reputation for handling complex, multi-step automations that would be expensive or unwieldy in Zapier. It connects monday.com and SharePoint through a drag-and-drop scenario builder with 13 monday.com triggers and 16+ SharePoint actions.
What it does between monday.com and SharePoint
- Watch monday.com board items, column values, and updates for triggers
- Create SharePoint folders and upload files
- Create, update, and delete SharePoint list items
- Get and publish SharePoint pages
- Search SharePoint sites
- Make custom SharePoint API calls
Pricing
| Plan | Monthly | Operations/month | Active scenarios |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 1,000 | 2 |
| Core | $9 | 10,000 | Unlimited |
| Pro | $16 | 10,000 | Unlimited |
| Teams | $29 | 10,000 | Unlimited |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom |
Annual billing saves 15%+. Operations are consumed per module executed per scenario run – a 5-module scenario consumes 5 operations per run.
Note: Make uses "operations" (similar to tasks in Zapier). A scenario that watches monday.com and performs 4 SharePoint actions per trigger consumes 5 operations per run (1 trigger + 4 actions). Calculate your expected monthly volume before choosing a plan.
Setup
No IT admin required. Build scenarios in Make's visual canvas (similar to Power Automate but without the Microsoft licence complexity). More powerful than Zapier for conditional logic; steeper learning curve than both Zapier and the native monday.com app.
Pros
- More powerful scenario logic than Zapier at a lower price point
- Two-way sync supported (unlike Zapier)
- 16+ SharePoint actions and 13 monday.com triggers
- Core plan starts at $9/month – lowest paid entry point in this comparison
- Custom API calls to SharePoint enable advanced use cases
- No IT admin required
Cons
- Does not embed files or data inside monday.com – background automation only
- No document generation capability
- Steeper learning curve than Zapier – visual but more complex
- Operation-based pricing can be difficult to forecast for complex scenarios
- Smaller community and template library than Zapier
Verdict
Make is the best choice among the automation platforms (Options 2–4) when you need complex conditional logic, two-way sync, and don't want Zapier's higher pricing. Still does not add anything to the monday.com interface itself – if you want Microsoft 365 files visible inside monday.com, you still need Option 1.

Full comparison: Microsoft 365 App vs Make →
Option 5: Unito
Best for: Teams who need to sync work items between monday.com and Jira, Asana, or Trello — not for Microsoft 365 file integration
Rating: 2/10
What it is
Unito is a two-way sync platform purpose-built for keeping work items in step across project management tools. It connects monday.com boards with tools like Jira, Asana, GitHub, Trello, and Salesforce — automatically mirroring tasks, statuses, and comments between platforms.
What it does (and does not do)
Unito syncs work items between project management platforms. It does not integrate with SharePoint, OneDrive, or any Microsoft 365 document management service. If you are evaluating Unito as a way to connect monday.com with SharePoint or Microsoft 365 files, it cannot do that.
What Unito does between monday.com and other tools:
- Two-way sync of board items, statuses, assignees, and comments between monday.com and Jira, Asana, Trello, GitHub, etc.
- Rule-based filtering to control which items sync and in which direction
- Field mapping between different column/field types across platforms
- Conflict resolution when both sides update simultaneously
Pricing
| Plan | Monthly | Items synced |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | $99 | Up to 1,000 |
| Standard | $199 | Up to 5,000 |
| Plus | $399 | Up to 20,000 |
| Business | Custom | 20,000+ |
No free tier. Annual billing discounts available.
Pros
- Best-in-class two-way sync for project management tools (Jira ↔ monday.com, Asana ↔ monday.com, etc.)
- Rule-based filtering and field mapping
- No IT admin required
- SOC 2 certified
Cons
- Does not connect to SharePoint, OneDrive, or any Microsoft 365 document service
- Only syncs project management work items — not files, documents, or Microsoft 365 data
- $99/month minimum — expensive if you only need monday.com + one other tool
- Not a substitute for any of the options above for Microsoft 365 integration
Verdict
Unito is the right choice if your problem is keeping monday.com boards in sync with Jira, Asana, or Trello. It is not the right choice — or any choice — if your problem is connecting monday.com with Microsoft 365. If you searched for Unito while researching Microsoft 365 integration, Options 1–4 are the tools to evaluate.
Full comparison: Microsoft 365 App vs Unito →
Option 6: Workato
Best for: Large enterprises with multi-system automation needs already investing in an iPaaS platform
Rating: 5/10
What it is
Workato is an enterprise-grade iPaaS (integration platform as a service) with 1,200+ connectors and a visual recipe builder. It is positioned alongside MuleSoft and Boomi as an enterprise automation backbone — connecting monday.com to SharePoint as part of broader cross-system workflows involving ERP, CRM, HRIS, and other enterprise platforms.
What it does between monday.com and SharePoint
- Trigger workflows when monday.com items are created or updated
- Create and update SharePoint files and list items from monday.com events
- Move data between monday.com, SharePoint, and other enterprise systems (Salesforce, SAP, Workday, etc.) in a single recipe
- Conditional logic, error handling, and data transformation between platforms
- Full audit logs and enterprise governance controls
Pricing
Workato does not publish prices. Pricing is quote-based, negotiated per contract.
Indicative cost: Small enterprise deployments typically start at $10,000–$15,000/year. Mid-market and enterprise contracts are significantly higher. No free tier.
Setup
Workato requires an enterprise procurement cycle, IT/admin involvement, and dedicated recipe builders. Initial setup for a monday.com + SharePoint integration is typically measured in weeks, not hours.
Pros
- 1,200+ connectors — if you need monday.com + SharePoint + Salesforce + SAP in one workflow, Workato handles it
- Enterprise governance: audit trails, role-based access, compliance controls
- Handles complex transformation logic and multi-system orchestration
- Strong professional services and support ecosystem
Cons
- Does not add any capabilities to the monday.com interface — no file embedding, no Excel in dashboards
- No document generation capability
- Quote-based pricing — opaque and typically expensive for teams that only need monday.com + SharePoint
- Overkill for teams whose primary need is Microsoft 365 files inside monday.com
- Significant setup and maintenance overhead
Verdict
Workato is the right choice when monday.com + SharePoint is one node in a large enterprise automation architecture that already includes Workato — or when you need Workato's governance and compliance controls for enterprise IT requirements. It is not the right choice as a standalone monday.com + Microsoft 365 solution: the cost, complexity, and setup time make Options 1–4 more suitable for that specific need.
Full comparison: Microsoft 365 App vs Workato →
Option 7: n8n
Best for: Developers and technically minded teams who want open-source or self-hosted workflow automation connecting monday.com and SharePoint
Rating: 6/10
What it is
n8n is an open-source workflow automation platform with a self-hosted option and JavaScript/Python code nodes that appeal to developers. It is similar to Zapier and Make in concept but with a different positioning: it targets technical teams who want more control, including the ability to run it on their own infrastructure.
What it does between monday.com and SharePoint
- 15 monday.com trigger and action nodes (create item, update column, get board, etc.)
- 8 Microsoft SharePoint action nodes (get file, upload file, create folder, get list items, etc.)
- Custom code nodes using JavaScript or Python for complex transformations
- Self-hosted deployment (Docker) means data never leaves your infrastructure
- Webhook support for real-time triggers
- Two-way sync possible with conditional logic
Pricing
| Plan | Monthly (cloud) | Executions/month | Workflows |
|---|---|---|---|
| Community | Free | Self-hosted only | Unlimited |
| Starter | €20 | 2,500 | 5 active |
| Pro | €50 | 10,000 | 15 active |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Unlimited |
Self-hosted Community edition is free forever with no execution limits. Cloud plans billed annually in EUR.
Setup
Cloud: No IT admin required. Build workflows in the visual editor. Similar setup time to Make — hours per workflow.
Self-hosted: Docker deployment, typically 1–2 days for initial setup including infrastructure provisioning. Requires developer familiarity with Docker and server management.
Pros
- Self-hosted option — data never leaves your infrastructure (relevant for strict data residency requirements)
- Code nodes allow custom logic that automation platforms like Zapier cannot handle
- Community edition is genuinely free (self-hosted, no execution limits)
- Open-source — no vendor lock-in
- Growing node library with 400+ integrations
- Two-way sync supported
Cons
- Does not embed files or data inside monday.com — background automation only
- No document generation capability
- 15 monday.com actions and 8 SharePoint actions — smaller than Power Automate's library
- Self-hosted deployment requires technical expertise to set up and maintain
- Cloud plan active workflow limits (5 on Starter) may constrain larger implementations
- Smaller commercial support ecosystem than Zapier or Make
Verdict
n8n is the right choice for developer teams who want Zapier/Make-style automation with a self-hosted option or code nodes. For teams where data residency or open-source principles matter, it is the strongest automation platform in this comparison. It does not add anything to the monday.com interface — for Microsoft 365 files visible inside monday.com, Option 1 is still required.
Full comparison: Microsoft 365 App vs n8n →
Option 9: Integrately
Best for: Budget-conscious teams already using Integrately to connect multiple tools, adding monday.com + SharePoint as one of several automations
Rating: 5/10
What it is
Integrately is a no-code automation platform that positions itself as a simpler, faster-to-configure alternative to Zapier. Its headline feature is a library of pre-built 1-click automation templates across 1,200+ apps — reducing the setup friction associated with platforms like Zapier or Make for common use cases.
What it does between monday.com and SharePoint
- Create SharePoint list items or folders when monday.com items are created
- Update monday.com items when SharePoint records change
- Create monday.com board items from new SharePoint list entries
- Chain monday.com + SharePoint into broader automations involving other tools
- Pre-built templates for common trigger-action combinations between the two platforms
Key limitation: Like all automation platforms, Integrately runs in the background. It does not add any interface elements inside monday.com. SharePoint files are not visible from within your boards — you interact with Integrately from Integrately's dashboard, not from monday.com.
Pricing
| Plan | Monthly | Tasks/month |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 100 |
| Starter | $19.99 | 2,000 |
| Professional | $39/month | 10,000 |
| Business | $99/month | 30,000 |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom |
Annual billing typically saves 20%+. Verify current Integrately plan limits and pricing at integrately.com/pricing.
Setup
No IT admin required. For pre-built templates: search for the monday.com + SharePoint template, authorise both connectors, and activate — typically 5–15 minutes. Custom automations with conditional logic require more configuration.
Pros
- 1-click templates for common monday.com + SharePoint automations
- 1,200+ app connectors for multi-tool workflows
- Free tier (100 tasks/month)
- No IT admin required — self-service
Cons
- Does not embed files, charts, or any content inside monday.com
- No document generation capability
- Task-based pricing can scale unexpectedly for active monday.com teams
- Does not hold SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, or HIPAA certification
- Fewer SharePoint actions than Power Automate or Workato
Verdict
Integrately is a reasonable mid-tier option for teams that need basic monday.com ↔ SharePoint automation as part of a broader multi-app workflow, and who are already familiar with the Integrately platform. It does not replace the native Monday 365 experience — for file embedding, document generation, or Excel in dashboards, Option 1 remains the only solution.
Full comparison: Microsoft 365 App vs Integrately →
Option 10: Appy Pie Connect
Best for: Very small teams or sole traders who need the absolute cheapest automation option and whose SharePoint use is limited to list data
Rating: 3/10
What it is
Appy Pie Connect is the automation arm of the Appy Pie no-code platform, aimed squarely at small businesses and solopreneurs. It follows the same trigger-action model as Zapier but with lower pricing and a simpler (if less powerful) workflow builder.
What it does between monday.com and SharePoint
- Create SharePoint list items from monday.com board events
- Create monday.com board items from new SharePoint list records
- Update records in one platform when changes occur in the other (basic field mapping)
- Trigger follow-up notifications in connected apps
Key limitation: Appy Pie's SharePoint connector is focused on SharePoint Lists (tabular data). SharePoint document library operations — file browsing, folder management, document creation — are either absent or very limited. If your SharePoint use involves document management rather than just list data, Appy Pie's integration will not cover it.
Pricing
| Plan | Monthly | Tasks/month | Workflows |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Limited | 1 |
| Basic | $9.99 | 300 | 5 |
| Standard | $19.99 | 1,000 | Unlimited |
| Professional | $59.99 | 5,000 | Unlimited |
Verify current Appy Pie Connect plan limits and pricing at appypie.com/pricing.
Setup
No IT admin required. Simple workflow builder with step-by-step guidance. Typical setup: 15–30 minutes per workflow.
Pros
- Lowest entry-level paid price in this comparison ($9.99/month)
- Simple workflow builder accessible to non-technical users
- 1,000+ app connections
- Free tier available
Cons
- Does not embed any content inside monday.com
- No document generation capability
- SharePoint integration limited to Lists — no document library file management
- Does not hold SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, or HIPAA certification — not suitable for enterprise procurement
- Low task and workflow limits on entry-level plans
- Fewer reliability and scalability guarantees than Zapier, Make, or Power Automate
Verdict
Appy Pie Connect is only worth considering if your SharePoint use is genuinely limited to SharePoint Lists (not document libraries), your automation volume is very low, you have no compliance certification requirements, and you are working within a very tight budget. For any team of 5+ people with regular monday.com use and any document management needs, Options 1–4 are considerably more appropriate.
Full comparison: Microsoft 365 App vs Appy Pie Connect →
Option 11: Skyvia
Best for: Data engineering and IT teams building ETL pipelines, scheduled bulk data syncs, or data backup workflows involving monday.com and SharePoint
Rating: 4/10 (within this context — rated higher in data integration contexts)
What it is
Skyvia is a cloud data integration platform offering ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) pipelines, data replication, scheduled backup, and SQL-style query capabilities across 150+ cloud apps and databases — including both monday.com and SharePoint Online.
Skyvia is fundamentally different from all other options in this list. It is not a workflow automation tool (like Zapier or Make) and it is not a native monday.com productivity app (like Option 1). It is a data infrastructure tool used by data engineers, IT admins, and technical business analysts.
What it does with monday.com and SharePoint
- ETL/Data Integration: Import records from SharePoint lists into monday.com boards on a schedule, or export monday.com board data to SharePoint lists with field mapping and transformation
- Data Replication: Continuously sync structured records between monday.com, SharePoint, and downstream data stores (Snowflake, BigQuery, etc.)
- Backup: Schedule automated backups of monday.com board data and SharePoint list data
- Query: Run SQL-style queries against monday.com board data without API code
What Skyvia does NOT do for monday.com + SharePoint:
- Does not operate within monday.com — no in-board file access, no Excel embedding
- Does not work with SharePoint document libraries in the way the Microsoft 365 app does — operates on list data (rows), not files and folders
- Does not generate Word, PDF, or HTML documents from monday.com data
- Does not provide event-driven, real-time automation — syncs are scheduled or manually triggered
Pricing
| Plan | Monthly |
|---|---|
| Free | $0 |
| Basic | $15 |
| Standard | $79 |
| Professional | $149 |
| Enterprise | Custom |
Pricing is module-based (Integration, Replication, Backup, Query priced separately or bundled). Verify at skyvia.com/pricing.
Pros
- Strong ETL capabilities for bulk structured data sync between SharePoint Lists and monday.com
- Reliable scheduled data pipeline for data teams
- Backup capability not available in most other options here
- SQL-style query interface for non-developer data access
- SOC 2 certified
Cons
- Does not add any capabilities inside monday.com
- No file management, document generation, or Excel embedding
- Not an event-driven automation tool — scheduled syncs only
- Primarily a data engineering tool — not appropriate for ops/project teams
- Low rating in this specific comparison context because the problem most teams are solving (making Microsoft 365 native in monday.com) is entirely outside Skyvia's scope
Verdict
Skyvia earns its place in this list for data and IT teams who need reliable bulk ETL between SharePoint and monday.com, or who need to back up monday.com data on a schedule. For the vast majority of ops and project teams evaluating Microsoft 365 integration for monday.com, Skyvia is not the right tool — and evaluating it as such wastes time. If your team searched "Skyvia monday.com SharePoint", this section explains why the tool you actually need is Option 1.
Full comparison: Microsoft 365 App vs Skyvia →
Option 8: monday.com native Microsoft integration
Best for: Teams with the most basic file attachment needs who don't want any additional tooling
Rating: 4/10
What it is
monday.com includes native Microsoft 365 connectivity – primarily file attachments via OneDrive/SharePoint and a basic Files column that can link to Microsoft 365 documents. No third-party app or additional cost required.
What it does
- Attach OneDrive and SharePoint files to monday.com items via the Files column
- Preview basic file types (PDF, images, some Office documents) in the monday.com viewer
- Link to SharePoint documents that open in Office Online in a new browser tab
- Basic monday.com automations can trigger actions within monday.com itself (not cross-platform)
What it does not do
- Browse SharePoint document libraries from within monday.com
- Embed Excel charts or cell data in dashboards
- Generate documents from monday.com data
- Automate actions in SharePoint based on monday.com events
- Two-way data sync between platforms
Pricing
Included with all monday.com plans – no additional cost.
Pros
- Zero additional cost
- Zero additional setup
- Available immediately on all monday.com plans
- No third-party accounts or authorisations required
Cons
- File attachment only – no browsing, no embedding, no automation
- Linked files open in a new browser tab, not inside monday.com
- No Excel embedding, no document generation, no SharePoint triggers
- Not a realistic replacement for any of the options above if you have active Microsoft 365 usage
Verdict
The right choice only if your Microsoft 365 use within monday.com genuinely amounts to occasionally attaching a file. For any team with regular SharePoint document workflows, Excel reporting, or automation needs, monday.com's native Microsoft integration will become a bottleneck within weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use more than one of these at the same time?
Yes – and some teams do. A common enterprise pattern: Microsoft 365 app by David Simpson Apps for the in-monday.com file experience and document generation; Power Automate for document approval routing and Dynamics 365 sync. Each tool does what it does best.
Does monday.com have a built-in SharePoint integration?
Yes – monday.com includes basic OneDrive/SharePoint file attachment natively. It does not include file browsing, Excel embedding, document generation, or cross-platform automation. For those capabilities, a third-party app or automation platform is required.
Is Power Automate free with Microsoft 365?
Power Automate is included in most Microsoft 365 business plans – but only for standard connectors (Microsoft services). The monday.com connector is a Premium connector, which requires Power Automate Premium ($15/user/month) unless your plan already includes it. Check your licence entitlements before assuming this is free.
Which option requires the least IT involvement?
Options 1, 3, 4, 5, and 8 are self-service – no IT admin required. Option 7 (n8n) is self-service on cloud; self-hosted deployments require technical setup. Option 2 (Power Automate) typically requires IT involvement for Conditional Access policy alignment and may require licence provisioning. Option 6 (Workato) is an enterprise platform that typically requires dedicated admin resources.
Which option works best for large enterprises?
For enterprises, the answer usually depends on existing infrastructure:
- Already deep in Power Platform → Power Automate
- monday.com as primary work OS → Microsoft 365 app by David Simpson Apps
- Many tools to connect → Zapier or Make
- Multi-system enterprise automation → Workato
- Developer team, data residency requirements → n8n (self-hosted)
- Complex requirements → Options 1 + 2 combined
All options except Option 8 carry enterprise-grade security certifications.
The Bottom Line
For the majority of monday.com teams with regular Microsoft 365 file workflows, Option 1 (Microsoft 365 app by David Simpson Apps) is the right starting point. It is the only option that surfaces Microsoft 365 data inside monday.com, it has the most straightforward setup, and for teams of 5–200 it is consistently the lowest-cost option that actually solves the problem.
If your organisation already holds Power Automate Premium licences, Option 2 costs nothing incremental and brings powerful approval and cross-Microsoft workflows. Used together with Option 1, they cover the full spectrum of monday.com + Microsoft 365 needs.
For teams already committed to Zapier or Make for other integrations, Options 3 and 4 add monday.com + SharePoint automation without introducing a new tool – though neither replaces the in-monday.com file experience.
Option 5 (Unito) is only relevant if your goal is syncing monday.com work items with Jira, Asana, or Trello — it has no Microsoft 365 integration whatsoever.
Option 6 (Workato) belongs in the conversation only when monday.com + SharePoint is one piece of a large enterprise automation architecture that already justifies an iPaaS investment.
Option 7 (n8n) is the strongest option for developer teams who want open-source or self-hosted automation with code-level flexibility. It covers the automation use cases well but leaves the in-monday.com file experience gap that only Option 1 fills.
Option 9 (Integrately) is a reasonable mid-tier automation platform for teams that want pre-built 1-click templates and already use Integrately for other workflows. Like Zapier and Make, it runs in the background and does not add capabilities to the monday.com interface.
Option 10 (Appy Pie Connect) is a budget option for very small teams with simple, low-volume SharePoint List automation needs and no compliance certification requirements. For teams of 5+ with any document management requirements, Options 1–4 are a better fit.
Option 11 (Skyvia) is for data teams, not ops teams. If your requirement is ETL pipelines, bulk data sync, or backup between monday.com and SharePoint, Skyvia is purpose-built for that. If your requirement is making Microsoft 365 files accessible inside monday.com, Skyvia does not address that problem.
