Requests still arrive by email: client briefs, purchase orders, supplier notices, form alerts from old systems. FlowMattic's Email Parser gives you an address to forward them to, and the workflow turns each one into a monday.com item with the sender, subject and body in its columns. Teams plan the work on their board instead of copying it from an inbox.

1. TriggerEmail Received2. ActionCreate ItemWhen Email Parser fires Email Received, FlowMattic runs Create Item in Monday.com with the data from that event.
You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps
Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.
Ready-made templateEvery email sent to the parser address becomes an item on your board, named after the subject, so incoming requests are assigned and tracked like any other task.
Email ReceivedCreate Item
View the template Text Formatter pulls a reference such as an order number from the subject. Get Item by Column Value finds the item with that number and Create Update posts the email to it.
Email Received (v2)Text FormatterGet Item by Column ValueCreate Update
An AI Agent reads the body and returns the client, due date and budget. The item is created and Change Multiple Columns Value fills each column, so the board is sortable from day one.

A Router reads the sender's address, so emails from each client or supplier are created in that client's group on the board instead of one long unsorted list.

Order emails list several products. An AI Agent returns them as a list, and Iterator creates one subitem per product under the order's item, with quantity in its own column.

Carriers and suppliers email when goods leave. The workflow finds the item by order number and changes its status column to shipped, so the board shows where each order is.

When you finish, every email that reaches your parser address is created as an item on the monday.com board you pick.
In Connects, add monday.com with an account that can create items on the target board.
Create a workflow with the Email Parser Email Received trigger. FlowMattic shows the address that belongs to this workflow.
Send or forward a typical email to that address, so the workflow captures the sender, subject and body.
Add a monday.com Create Item step, choose the board and group, and use the subject as the item name.
Map the sender and body into columns, test the step so an item appears on the board, then switch the workflow on.

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
Email Parser and Monday.com connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
Work that arrives by email is planned, assigned and tracked in monday.com like everything else, instead of living in one person's inbox.
The parser address comes from the workflow, so you only forward the emails you want and nothing else in your inbox is read.
FlowMattic runs on your own WordPress site with unlimited runs, so a shared inbox with hundreds of emails a day costs nothing extra.
Create a FlowMattic workflow with the Email Parser Email Received trigger, which gives you an address to send emails to. Add a monday.com Create Item step, map the subject to the item name and the body to a column, test it and switch it on.
Yes. Extract a reference from the subject with Text Formatter, find the item with Get Item by Column Value, then add the email as a comment with Create Update.
Upload File to Specific Column puts a file on an item. Check a captured test email to see whether the attachment comes through as a link you can map, then add the step after Create Item.
No. You forward or redirect emails to the parser address. Set a forwarding rule in your mail app for the senders or subjects you want, and only those emails reach the workflow.
