Enhancing humanitarian aid efforts: Introducing the new KoboToolbox monday.com integration app

We are excited to announce the collaboration between Kobo and monday.com’s Emergency Response Team (ERT) for enhanced data collection, analysis, visualization, and project management. As part of our commitment to enabling positive change and supporting organizations that are making a difference on the ground, we are proud to offer this integration for free.

With the new app, organizations can collect vital information with KoboToolbox and then seamlessly integrate their data with monday.com’s Work OS platform. The integration will make it easier for organizations to leverage the strengths of both platforms, which will allow for simplified data collection, automated workflows creation, data visualization, and collaborative teamwork. The app is now available on monday.com’s Apps Marketplace.

How it works

The new integration allows organizations to synchronize submissions received to a KoboToolbox project with a monday.com board. Once an organization has installed the app on their monday.com account and provided their KoboToolbox API key, any submission that is received by a connected KoboToolbox project will immediately be copied using KoboToolbox’s REST API feature and mapped to the relevant monday.com columns. During the initial set up stage, users can also choose which columns from their KoboToolbox project to import and select the label language used to display the columns.
