Integrations Slowing You Down? Optimize Your Monday CRM with These 5 Plug-In Fixes

MONDAY is a fantastic project management platform, and occasionally, the tools that should make your life in the project more efficient can turn out to be a source of barriers or hindrances. When your hooked apps start to feel more like a dead end than an accelerator, don’t break a sweat, you are not the only one, and the situation can be rectified following simple steps!

Being an avid fan of teams and their ability to achieve the best of themselves, I am delighted to give you a list of common offenders and practically present the best ways to optimize your Monday CRM integrations.

The following is why integrations may be holding you back and how to solve them:

Unnecessary Action Integrations:

  • The Problem: Each active integration, even lesser utilized, takes up resources.
  • And the Fix: Review your integrations on a regular basis. Disable or eliminate those that are not longer critical, duplicate or have not been fired in a long time. Discard anything that is not contributing real value to your existing processes.

Too Many Automation Rules:

The Problem: Chains of automations connected through the words, should an action this action occur, the result will be that, may be long, and that is why it can be inefficient, and a chain of this kind may start working slowly or fail to work at all.

The Fix: Complicated automations can be divided into simpler rules. Whenever available, use the internal automations of Monday. Since they may sometimes be more optimized than external triggers. Developed rules should be fired properly through a test.

Data Sync Problems and Duplicates:

  • The Problem: Lack of uniformity, inconsistency, or duplicity of fields between MONDAY and your connected apps may lead to lagging and glitches.
  • The Fix: Establish clear data mapping during setup. Where possible, use unique identifiers. Conduct regular data auditing to detect and correct inconsistencies. Most integration tools have deduplication features. Deduplication features could be turned on when they are not turned on, so make sure that they are turned on.

Older Versions of the App or Permission:

  • The Problem: Executing outdated versions of the coordinated apps or inaccurate/void API keys and approvals can fail in the communication.
  • The Fix: Always ensure your connected applications are up-to-date. Periodically check the API keys and permissions within Monday’s integration settings and the connected app itself to confirm everything is correctly authorized.

Lack of Specificity in Triggers:

  • The Problem: Broad or generic integration triggers can cause unnecessary actions, flooding your board with updates or data.
  • The Fix: Be highly specific with your triggers. Instead of “when any item changes,” specify when Status changes to ‘Done’ for a particular group. This reduces the load and ensures automations only run when truly needed.

Optimizing your integrations isn’t about ditching them; it’s about making them work smarter for you. By taking these steps, you’ll reclaim efficiency, reduce digital friction, and empower your team to work seamlessly without the drag of unnecessary clutter. Let’s make MONDAY work even harder for you!
