Workflow Credentials

Credentials used by automation blocks in automations, workflows and Sidekick AI skills are stored using monday.com's recently added 'Workflow credentials' feature.

Workflow credentials are a way to allow access to a remote app such as Microsoft 365 from within monday.com. This mechanism is entirely owned and performed by monday.com, and so abstracts the complicated work away from third-party developers.

User credentials are stored securely by monday.com themselves, and third-parties are only given a short-lived expiring token for accessing external systems.

Which features of monday.com can use workflow credentials?

  1. Workflows & automation blocks
  2. Sidekick AI skills

Which OAuth permissions are required for the app?

The permission scope requested is limited to what the integration requires: read and write access to SharePoint document libraries and OneDrive for Business, scoped to each authenticated user's existing permissions.
