Managing your sync

Managing your sync

TL;DR: Once a sync is running, you can manage it from the My Syncs tab in the admin panel. Edit your settings, pause syncing temporarily, or delete a sync entirely — all without losing the items already on your board.

Before you start

  • You need at least one active sync — see  Setting up a Sync⁠  if you haven't set one up yet
  • All sync management happens from the My Syncs tab in the admin panel

The My Syncs dashboard

The My Syncs tab shows a table of all your active sync configurations. Each row displays:
  • Owner — who created the sync
  • Type — Personal or Team
  • Status — Active or Paused
  • Direction — One-way or Two-Way Sync
  • Monday Board — which board and whether it syncs items or subitems
  • Google Calendar — which calendar account and calendar name
  • Created — when the sync was set up
  • Actions — Edit, Pause/Resume, Delete
You can also click Create New Sync to add another sync configuration.

Edit a sync

Click the pencil icon to reopen the sync wizard and change your configuration. You can update:
  • Which calendar to sync with
  • Sync direction (one-way or two-way)
  • Items vs. subitems
  • Field mapping
  • Conditional triggering filters (incoming and outgoing)
Edit opens the same 4-step wizard (Sync scope, Field mapping, Incoming data, Outgoing data). Click Cancel editing to leave without saving.
Changes take effect immediately after saving. Existing items on your board are not affected — only new changes will follow the updated settings.

Pause and resume

Click the pause icon to temporarily stop a sync. While paused:
  • No new events or items are created on either side
  • No changes are synced between Google Calendar and monday
  • Your configuration and field mapping are preserved
  • Items already on your board stay exactly as they are
To resume, click the ▶ play button (it replaces the pause button) and confirm Activate Sync?. The sync picks up from where it left off — but changes that happened while paused are not retroactively synced.

Delete a sync

Click the trash icon to permanently remove a sync configuration. When you delete a sync:
  • The sync stops immediately
  • Items already on your board stay — nothing is deleted
  • The link between items and calendar events is broken
  • Future changes on either side will no longer sync
Deleting a sync cannot be undone. To sync the same calendar and board again, you'll need to set up a new sync from scratch.

Connected Google Calendar Accounts

Further down the My Syncs page, Connected Google Calendar Accounts lists every Google account connected to this monday account, with its Status (e.g., Active) and a delete button to remove it.

Common gotchas

  • You can have multiple active syncs — each connects one calendar to one board
  • Pausing is reversible, deleting is not — when in doubt, pause first
  • Editing a sync doesn't re-trigger past changes — only new changes follow the updated settings
  • The Create New Sync button lets you add more syncs without affecting existing ones
  • Changes that happen while a sync is paused are not retroactively synced when you resume
