What’s new on monday.com? Feature update in December 2025

Create an item by card

Add work in a cleaner and more visual way

You can now create items using a card view, giving you a structured, focused layout when adding new work. Instead of filling out scattered columns in a table, the item opens in a dedicated card where you can enter all details in one organized space. Board owners can choose whether their team uses the table view or the item card when creating new items, allowing each workspace to adopt the style that fits best. This is especially helpful for teams who prefer a more form-like experience when adding structured data.

Mute notifications

Mute specific people column notifications

A new notification control lets you mute updates coming specifically from a people column. If you’re assigned to multiple items or frequently added as a collaborator, this helps you filter noise so notifications only surface what’s truly relevant. It’s a simple but impactful way to keep your attention on meaningful work without missing critical updates.

CRM sequences update

Start from any step for flexible follow-ups

Pro and Enterprise CRM users can now start a sequence from any step. This gives teams greater control when re-engaging leads, skipping ahead in a nurturing path, or resuming outreach after a pause. You can now reenroll a lead without starting over, jump directly to a strategic touchpoint, or skip steps that no longer apply. This reduces repetitive work and allows your team to adapt sequencing logic to match real-world sales conversations.

GitLab + monday dev

Trigger workflows from merge request events

For monday dev teams, you can now connect GitLab projects and trigger automations based on merge request events, including when a request is created, approved, or merged. This integration keeps your development lifecycle and your planning boards in sync. Code activity becomes instantly visible in monday dev, allowing teams to update statuses automatically, assign follow-up tasks, and track progress between repositories and boards. It’s a powerful way to unify development workflows without manual updates.

Practical tips

How to use these monday.com updates

Here are a few suggestions to make the most of these new tools in your monday.com workspace:

1. Use item cards for structured intake. If your work requires consistent fields like user stories, requests, or briefs, switch to the item card layout to reduce missed details.
2. Mute people column alerts strategically. Mute high-volume boards where you’re frequently tagged, so you can stay focused without muting all monday.com notifications globally.
3. Rewrite CRM follow-up rules using flexible start steps. Test starting mid-sequence for returning leads. It can help maintain momentum rather than “starting from zero”.
4. Automate dev workflows with GitLab signals. Use merge request triggers to update sprint boards automatically and reduce dependency on manual handoffs.

December 2025 rounds out the year with updates that improve clarity, reduce noise, and boost cross-team alignment. The item card creation flow gives teams a cleaner way to input work. Muted people column notifications help maintain focus. CRM sequence flexibility reduces repetition. And the GitLab integration brings developers and project managers closer together in monday dev.
