Action: Create a Review Task in Monday.com from Frame.io

Use an Action in Frame.io to automatically create a review task in Monday.com

A
Written by Aaron Burns

Trigger an Action on any Frame.io file to automatically create a review task in Monday.com with the file name, a direct view link, priority, status, and due date.

What you'll need

  • Frame.io V4 account with Account Owner or Content Admin permissions

  • Zapier account (Free plan or above)

  • Monday.com account with a board and group set up to receive review tasks

Important: Actions are only visible to users who are members of the workspace where the action is configured. Users with access only at the project or folder level will not see the Actions menu.

Before you set up this Zap

Create an Action in Frame.io.

This Zap is triggered by an Action in Frame.io. If you have not set one up yet, follow Set Up Actions in Frame.io for Zapier before continuing. You will need the webhook URL from your Catch Hook trigger step before you can complete the setup below.

Set up the Zap

Step 1: Open the template and set up the Catch Hook

Click the button bellow

The setup wizard will create a skeleton for the zap. Once your zap has been named and saved to the desired location exit the setup wizard. Copy the webhook URL from the Catch Hook trigger step and paste it into the URL field of your Action in Frame.io. For full instructions see Set Up Actions in Frame.io for Zapier.

Step 2: Fire a test trigger

In Frame.io, right-click any file in the workspace, select Actions, and choose your Action. Return to Zapier and confirm the Catch Hook step has received the payload.

Step 3: Connect your accounts and confirm dynamic field mapping

Frame.io: Select the account associated with the workspace where your Action is configured.

Monday.com: Select the account where review tasks should be created.

Then confirm the following fields in the Show File step are mapped to dynamic values from the webhook payload:

  • Account: Account Id from the webhook payload

  • Workspace: Workspace Id from the webhook payload

  • Project: Project Id from the webhook payload

  • File: Resource Id from the webhook payload

Each field must use the dynamic value from the payload, not a static value. Static values lock the Zap to a single hardcoded asset and it will run on that asset every time, regardless of what triggered the action.

Step 4: Configure the Monday.com task

Select your Monday.com Board and Group where review tasks should be created. The following fields are pre-populated and can be adjusted to match your team's workflow:

  • Task name: file name with "Review" appended automatically

  • Status: set to Not Started by default

  • Priority: set to Medium by default

  • Due date: set to 5 hours from the trigger by default

  • Link: mapped dynamically from the Frame.io view URL

Step 5: Adding a filter (optional)

This Zap has no filter step. It will fire for any asset a Action is triggered on, regardless of project or folder. To scope it to a specific project or folder, a filter step can be added after the Show File step. See Add a Filter to Your Frame.io Zap for instructions.

Step 6: Publish the Zap

Click Publish. The Zap is now live.

Use the Action

  1. Right-click any file in Frame.io and select Actions

  2. Select Create Review Task (or whatever you named your action)

A Monday.com task is created automatically with the file details pre-populated.

Troubleshooting

Zapier is not receiving the test payload

Make sure the webhook URL in your Action matches the URL from the Catch Hook trigger step exactly. Confirm the Action is active at next.frame.io/settings/actions.

Frame.io fields are empty in the Show File step

The Catch Hook has not received a payload yet. Complete Step 2 before configuring the Show File and Monday.com steps.

Monday.com task is missing the view link

Confirm the view URL field in the Monday.com step is mapped dynamically from the Show File step, not hardcoded.

Monday.com board or group is not appearing

Confirm the connected Monday.com account has access to the board you want to use.

Actions menu not showing in Frame.io
