1.Detect new work-day item
Integrate monday.com and attendance tracking boards to detect new work-day item entries and capture the source date, name, and location for matching.
Add daily subitems to attendance records for payroll
Automatically monitor new work-day items across monday.com and attendance boards. Create and populate daily attendance subitems when work-day items are added, work-day dates are set, or locations are providedβso you can reconcile daily payroll entries, match attendance records, and minimize manual reporting without manual follow-up.
How this automation protects payroll accuracy
When new work-day entries arrive, missing or inconsistent day-level attendance can disrupt payroll and cause rework. This automation formats dates, matches work-day items to attendance records, and creates standardized daily subitemsβso your team can reconcile payroll-ready entries fast.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism β I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
