Flowchart for Monday.com?

Does anyone use any type of flowcharting in Monday.com? Like a Microsoft Visio. We are trying to use flowcharts to design a master board and a dozen subboards or so and this would help map out greatly. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you. Ryan

Hi there. I’m not aware of any flowcharting app that works inside Monday.com at the moment.

Outside of Monday, we use things like Whimsical - Flowcharts | Whimsical to create graphics during the planning stages for Monday.com processes and boards.

Another one is https://app.diagrams.net/ which used to be called Draw.io, but I like Whimsical better.

We also use Basalmiq a lot. However, it’s more for mockups and wireframing of custom app views than flow diagrams: https://balsamiq.com/

Hey @ORyan33,

What are you looking to use flowcharting for? What would it track? Are you looking to use it for visualization purposes or another purpose?

I ask because then I can see if I can make any suggestions or offer workarounds specific to your use case :blush:

We are trying to visualize workflow and in particular how to automate multiple columns form a master board

I’m also interested in this.

We have users that are interested in turning tables into workflows

hi @mlandsman I just came across this app on the monday app marketplace: https://www.spot-nik.com/workflow

looks pretty basic from the visual perspective, but it does allow you to tie columns and permissions to each step in the workflow which is nice.

if you decide to use it let me know what you think and if it is able to solve the problem you are facing.

Hey @mlandsman,
What are your specific needs? if thats a flow chart inside of monday, make sure to check out Miro app, which users really love!
It won’t generate charts automatically but it’s worth checking out.
Does it help? let us know!

The pricing on this; WTF 1800 a year for 10 boards and 15 steps. I’m practically a one man team and have 100’s of steps to flow! This should be a given for a big platform like monday. I think I’m pulling out and going somewhere else (after wasting about 30 hours trying to get the platform to flow my info

Hello,
You could try Mermaid Diagrams, which amongst other things supports flow charts. It’s text based, so not an exact match for Visio, but may be useful.

I’m the vendor, so happy to talk about it :slight_smile:

Hi everyone! :wave:

Just to chime in here - we have recently released our Canvas product, which sounds like it could be useful here.
It’s a great way to work collaboratively with your team in a more visual way, via mind maps, flow charts and more. It’s really useful for mapping out processes hierarchies with your team.

You can start using Canvas by navigating to the monday.com homepage and selecting Canvas from the options available in the ‘Products’ drop-down menu:

It’s worth noting this is in beta, so there may be some changes to this product and we welcome any feedback you have for our team!

Best,

Dani
