Create Monday.com Boards From a List in a Google Sheet

The Scenario

Q4 starts Monday. Your agency account manager has a Sheet with 20 new client engagements — each needs its own monday.com board in a specific workspace before the kick-off calls begin. The names, workspace assignments, and board descriptions are already in the Sheet. What's missing is the 20 boards.

The bad version:

  • Open monday.com, navigate to the right workspace, click "Add board", type the board name, set the type, click Create.
  • Repeat for all 20 engagements.
  • Discover that three were created in the wrong workspace because the UI defaulted to your personal workspace.
  • Delete and recreate those three.
  • Realise the board names have inconsistent capitalisation because you were rushing through the last five.

Twenty board creations done by hand is a half-hour task that breeds errors. And it happens every quarter.

The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI

SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads the Sheet and drives monday.com through its built-in integration — creating boards in the right workspaces without any UI navigation.

Create a monday.com board for each row in the 'New Projects' sheet — use column A as the board name and column B as the workspace name

What You Get

  • One monday.com board created per row.
  • Each board placed in the workspace named in column B.
  • Board names taken exactly from column A — no autocorrect, no case drift.
  • Returned board IDs written into column C for linking or future automation.

What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready

The workspace names in the sheet don't exactly match what's in monday.com

Create a monday.com board for each row in 'New Projects' — use column A as the board name and match column B to the closest workspace name in your account. Flag any rows where no workspace match is found into column C

You also need to add a standard set of groups to each new board

Create a monday.com board for each row in 'New Projects' using column A as the board name and column B as the workspace. After creating each board, add three groups: 'Kickoff', 'In Progress', and 'Review'. Write the returned board IDs into column C

Some rows are duplicates from last quarter and should be skipped

Create a monday.com board for each row in 'New Projects' — skip any row where column A matches an existing board name in the 'Client Work' workspace. Write "Skipped (duplicate)" into column C for those rows and the new board ID for the rest

Kill chain: clean board names, validate workspaces, create boards, and log all results in one prompt

In 'New Projects': trim and title-case all values in column A. Validate each workspace name in column B against your monday.com account — flag mismatches in column D. Then create one board per valid row with column A as board name and column B as workspace, write returned board IDs into column C.

Cleaning, validating, and creating in one prompt means you never touch the Sheet a second time.
