In this blog post, you'll get a concise overview of the latest features and improvements that were released in January. You'll find out which updates for which monday.com plan are available and in which phase they are.
Let's dive right in and discover the most exciting new features of the Work OS platform and the comprehensive products!
Work OS platform
Browse all workspaces
Status of update: fully rolled out
With the new “Browse all workspaces” screen, you can now quickly find your most used workspaces. With handy filters for product, membership, privacy status, new memberships, and recently viewed workspaces, you can search for exactly what you need — without having to remember the names. This allows you to keep track of things and manage your workspaces even more efficiently!
Reorder views
Status of update: partially rolled out
You can now reorder views for yourself, either by dragging and dropping views or by interacting with the Views menu (this doesn't apply to the default forum view).
Use Case
Since the order of views is synchronized with your phone, you can organize your views in the web interface so that they are suitable for mobile use and important views are easily accessible on the mobile phone.
Formula column value is supported in automations & API
Status of update: fully rolled out
You can now access formula values directly via automations and the API. This innovation opens up completely new opportunities for you so that you can develop new innovative applications and optimize existing automations.
Use the full power of your formulas and take your workflows to the next level!
Sort alphabetically in the left panel
Status of update: fully rolled out
You can now easily sort the contents of your workspace alphabetically by prefixes — for example, by project or customer IDs. This makes it even easier to quickly find categorized content and navigate efficiently. Of course, you can return to standard sorting at any time!
monday CRM
CRM Chrome Extension
Status of update: partially rolled out
As a user, you can now capture leads from Gmail, Calendar, and LinkedIn with the monday CRM Chrome extension.
Use Case
Efficient contact management & quick access: While researching on LinkedIn, a salesperson can directly click on the CRM extension icon to immediately view a contact's data set — including past interactions and notes.
Seamless email integration & tracking: When you send an email to a potential customer via Gmail, the message is automatically logged in CRM. In addition, the extension tracks whether the email has been opened and reminds the sales representative in good time of a follow-up if no response is received.
Transparent sales pipeline management: Sales managers always have an overview of all leads and opportunities. Thanks to drag-and-drop functionality, opportunities can be easily moved and adjusted between different states.
Optimized sequence management with new column & advanced automations
Status of update: fully rolled out
With the new “Recorded Sequences” column, you can now see in which order your leads are enrolled in sequences directly in the board view.
In addition, CRM users are 30 new automations, 5 trigger blocks and 3 action blocks available in the workflow builder. This allows you to control your sequences even more efficiently and optimally automate sales processes.
Find out more about monday sequences in our blog:
Use Case
The new automations allow you to create workflows that are perfectly tailored to your requirements — seamlessly integrated with the sequence function.
- Leads automatically insert into sequences as soon as they are created.
- Status changes manage and notify salespeople when leads respond to sequence emails.
- Leads based on individual triggers automatically remove from a sequence.
Enterprise users also benefit from the advanced workflow builder, which offers even more control and seamlessly integrates sequences into the entire monday.com ecosystem.
monday AI
Extract block extensions
Status of update: partially rolled out
From now on, you can:
- Set multiple columns as extract output — not just plain text.
- Use images from the file column directly as a source for extraction.
Use Case
Advanced text recognition from images is particularly useful for:
- Invoice processing in procurement teams — Extract data from scanned invoices
- Build sales pipelines — Automatically convert business cards from sales events into CRM data.
- Competitive analyses and marketing research — Extract content from marketing materials and use it for presentations.
These improvements enable you to process and use image content in your workflows even more efficiently!
Support for mathematical calculations in the number column
Status of update: fully rolled out
You can now use the AI-based mathematical calculations directly in the number column to calculate complex values even more precisely.
Use Case
- Calculate automatic price reductions — Determine discounts directly from various columns or as part of a text input with numbers.

These improvements help you perform calculations faster and without errors — right in your monday.com environment!
Label suggestions for categorizations
Status of update: fully rolled out
As soon as you select a column, the AI automatically analyzes the content of each item and suggests more precise and effective labeling options.
Use Case
- Optimized categorization in e-commerce — Automatic suggestions for suitable product categories (e.g. electronics, household appliances, fashion) to efficiently organize thousands of product descriptions.
- AI-powered ticket classification in support — Faster processing through automatic labels for various ticket types (e.g. technical issues, billing, account issues).

Assigning people
Status of update: fully rolled out
Use AI to automatically assign the right person for every task. Based on factors such as location, availability, expertise, and the nature of the task, the AI makes optimal assignment decisions — without manual effort.
Why is this useful?
Efficient ticket allocation — Forward support inquiries directly to the appropriate employees.
Better use of resources — Distribute tasks fairly and sensibly according to availability and expertise.
Optimized workflows — No more guesswork as to who is taking on which task — the AI ensures precise allocation.
monday WorkForms
Summarize short and long text questions with AI
Status of update: fully rolled out
This feature helps you to automatically break down short and long text questions into main and sub-topics — directly in the results area of your form. This gives you a clearer and more organized data structure.
Perfect for:
- surveys — Sort and evaluate answers specifically by topic
- requests — Record incoming requests in a structured way
- Registration & registration forms — Better organize participant information
- order forms — Clearly structure product categories and customer inquiries

With this improvement, forms can be used even smarter and valuable insights can be gained faster!
Change the form owner directly from the form view
Status of update: fully rolled out
If necessary, owners of a form can be changed directly from the form view. In this way, anyone who has permission to view the board can be set as a new owner.
Who can transfer ownership?
- Form builder
- Board owner
- Account administrators
This feature is particularly helpful when the current owner leaves the company or is deactivated. Alternatively, ownership can also be transferred directly in the admin area to restore lost permissions.
This ensures that the management of your forms remains flexible and controlled at all times!

monday workflows
Switch between “Yes” and “No” branches
Status of update: fully rolled out

Use Case
Fixed an error in workflow creation — If you've accidentally created a workflow under the wrong condition (“Yes” instead of “No”), you can simply reverse this setting without reconfiguring the flow.
Adapting to changing requirementsn — For example, if legal requirements change and a workflow that was previously set under “Yes” should now fall under “No,” you can easily adjust the condition without losing content.
With this improvement, forms can be used even smarter and valuable insights can be gained faster!
Multiple branch conditions
Status of update: fully rolled out
In contrast to the previous condition, you can now extend your workflow beyond simple yes/no decisions and define multiple branches with individual actions. This allows even complex processes to be dynamically controlled and adapted to various scenarios.
What's new?
- More than just “yes” and “no” — Create workflows with multiple decision branches for complex processes
- Individual actions per status — Assign unique logic and specific automations to each branch
- Dynamic workflows without limits — Design processes that adapt flexibly to various scenarios.

When is this action useful?
- Design adjustments in seconds — Change colors or font styles for multiple items at once
- More efficient structuring — Customize connection styles for charts or workflows with just a few clicks
- Work quickly on large projects — Save time by making multiple changes in a single step
