Embedding a monday.com board into your website allows you to publish board information without manually copying it into your website content management system. There are two main ways to embed a monday.com board into a website. You can use the native monday.com shared view feature for a quick and simple embed, or use Board to Website Widget when you need more control over the layout, branding, search, files, and mobile experience. In this guide, we explain how both options work, their advantages and limitations, and which method is best for your website.

TL;DR

What is the best way to embed a monday.com board into a website?

The best method depends on how the embedded monday.com board should look and what website visitors need to do.

  • Use a native monday.com shared view when you need a quick public embed and the standard monday.com appearance is acceptable.
  • Use Board to Website Widget when the embedded content should blend into your website with a dedicated layout, and support search and files.
  • Use a client portal with monday.com instead when the information is private and should only be accessible to authenticated clients.

1. Embed with a shared view

How to embed a monday.com board using a shared view

monday.com allows board owners to publish a board or board view using a shareable link or iframe embed code. The embedded view can be opened by people who do not have a monday.com account. However, the content is published publicly and should not contain confidential information.

Follow these steps to embed a monday board

  1. Open the monday.com board or view you want to embed
  2. Click the ··· button next to the view's name
  3. Find and click Share view from the menu
  4. The view is shared by default if it wasn't before
  5. Otherwise click Start to start sharing the view
  6. Copy the Embed code by clicking the Copy button
  7. Paste the iframe HTML snippet into your website
  8. Publish and test the page with the embedded board

The embedded monday.com board or view will then look something like the example board shown below.

When a native monday.com embed works well

A native shared board view from monday.com is suitable when:

  • You need to publish a board view quickly.
  • The information is safe to share publicly.
  • Visitors only need to view the board information.
  • The standard monday.com appearance is acceptable.
  • Custom branding, search, and files are not required.
  • You want board changes to appear when the website visitor reloads the page.

Limitations of a native monday.com embed

The native sharing option is convenient, but it has several important limitations:

  • Filtered items and hidden columns may still be accessible to technically experienced users.
  • Files are not visible or downloadable in the shared view.
  • Mirrored items are not displayed.
  • Boards with active item viewing permissions cannot be shared publicly.
  • The monday.com design cannot be fully customized.
  • Board items cannot be searched by website visitors.
  • The embedded layout offers limited flexibility on mobile devices.
  • Large board views may take longer to load.

Need more control than a native shared view provides? Publish selected monday.com board data on your website with search, filters, files, images and custom branding, without giving visitors access to your monday.com workspace.

2. Embed with Board to Website Widget

How to embed a monday.com board with Board to Website Widget

Board to Website Widget turns selected monday.com board items and columns into a dedicated website widget. You can choose a table, grid, or events layout, control which information is displayed, enable search, include files, apply filters, and customize the widget to match your website.

Follow these steps to create a website widget

  1. Install the Board to Website Widget for monday.com from the marketplace
  2. Add the Board to Website Widget app view next to its Main table
  3. Choose a layout, customize the look and feel, and add item filters
  4. Publish the widget manually by clicking Publish
  5. After publishing, copy the generated embed snippet
  6. Add a HTML, code, or embed element to the relevant website page
  7. Paste the widget snippet into the element and publish the page
  8. Test the embedded website widget on your website
  9. Create an automation on the board to publish on a schedule

When Board to Website Widget works well

Board to Website Widget may be the better option when:

  • The widget should match your website branding.
  • Visitors need to search the published board items.
  • Files or images should be available to visitors.
  • You need a custom table, grid, or events layout.
  • The content should work well on mobile devices.
  • You want to filter items independently from monday.com.
  • Website content should continue to be managed inside monday.com.
  • The widget should be republished automatically on a schedule.

Limitations of Board to Website Widget

Board to Website Widget provides more flexibility than the native shared view, but there are still some limitations to consider:

  • Board changes are not published or reflected in real time.
  • Widgets must be republished manually or an automation.
  • Published widgets are intended for public information.
  • Mirror columns are displayed as text rather than their original column type.
  • Formula columns are supported with some technical limitations.

Each published widget represents a snapshot of the board at the time it was published. Changes appear after the widget is republished manually or by a scheduled automation.

What can you create from a monday.com board?

Board to Website Widget can be used whenever structured monday.com information needs to appear publicly on a website. These examples are among the current use cases supported by Board to Website Widget, but not limited to them:

  • Manage your products or services inside monday.com and publish them as a searchable grid or table. You can include product names, descriptions, categories, images, files, pricing information, and links.

  • Publish planned, active, and completed product features from a monday.com board. Visitors can search the roadmap and follow the progress of individual features without accessing your monday.com workspace.

  • Manage customer ideas and feature requests inside monday.com and display selected requests publicly. Filters can be used to exclude internal requests or items that are not ready to be published.

  • Create an events widget using board dates, descriptions, locations, speakers, registration links, and supporting files. The events layout can turn the board into a public conference, training, or company events schedule.

  • Manage team members inside monday.com and display their names, roles, departments, profile images, and contact details on your website.

  • Display offices, stores, partners, showrooms, or service locations from a monday.com board. Visitors can search or browse the locations using a structured website widget.

  • Publish guides, documents, videos, templates, and other resources managed in monday.com. Files from a monday.com Files Column can be made accessible through the widget.

  • Manage property information in monday.com and publish selected listings on your website. A grid layout can display property images, locations, prices, availability, and links to further information.

  • Manage company announcements inside monday.com and publish them as a structured press release or newsroom section.

3. Embed into a client portal

What should you use for private monday.com information?

Neither a native public shared view nor Board to Website Widget should be used to publish confidential information. Both options are intended to make selected board information publicly accessible without requiring visitors to sign in to monday.com. Use Client Portal Builder instead when:

  • Each client should sign in before accessing information.
  • Different clients should see different board items.
  • Files or project information are confidential.
  • Clients need to comment or edit selected information.
  • You need controlled and personalized access.
  • The portal should use your own branding and domain.

Client Portal Builder creates a separate authenticated space connected to the monday.com boards your internal team already uses. Learn more about Client Portal Builder for monday.com
