The complete Aircall + monday.com setup guide (V2, 2026)
Connecting Aircall to monday.com takes two installs: the "Aircall: Call & SMS in your work OS" app from the monday.com marketplace, then the monday.com V2 connection from the Aircall Dashboard under Integrations & API. You need admin in both systems and a monday.com Standard plan or higher. Aircall documents the options; this guide tells you exactly what to pick for a 5 to 15 seat team, because we install this stack for a living.
01 / Summary
Key takeaways
- 01Two installs, in order: the marketplace app on the monday.com side, then the monday.com V2 connection from the Aircall Dashboard.
- 02Prerequisites decide whether this takes 30 minutes or 3 days: monday.com Standard+, admin in both systems, board-creation rights at account and workspace level.
- 03Link every Aircall number you care about; unlinked numbers log nothing.
- 04Our defaults for a 5 to 15 seat team: message logging ON, contact creation ON, contact sync ON, insight cards ON, AI insights to the Updates section.
- 05The integration creates its own logging boards; your CRM board links separately and must be Public or Shared.
02 / Prerequisites
What you need before you start
Four things, verified before you touch anything1: a monday.com Standard plan or higher; the Admin role in both systems (in monday.com that means the account, or each product separately if you run Work Management alongside CRM); board-creation permission at two levels (account: Administration, then Permissions; workspace: the target workspace's Permissions tab); and the latest version of the marketplace app, updatable under Administration, then Apps.
On the Aircall side you need at least one number you intend to link2, and integrations are included from the Essentials plan, so the monday.com connection doesn't require an Aircall tier upgrade. If anything errors during install, our troubleshooting guide covers every documented failure, permissions first.
03 / Install
The V2 install, step by step
- 01Confirm the prerequisites. monday.com Standard plan or higher; Admin role in both Aircall and monday.com; board-creation permission at the monday account level and in the target workspace; latest version of the Aircall marketplace app.
- 02Install the marketplace app. From the monday.com marketplace, install 'Aircall: Call & SMS in your work OS' and select All Workspaces as the installation scope.
- 03Connect from the Aircall Dashboard. In the Aircall Dashboard, open Integrations, then Apps, select monday.com V2, click Install app, and Authorize with your monday admin account.
- 04Link at least one Aircall number. Nothing logs without a linked number. Link every number whose activity you want in monday.com; you can adjust assignments later in the Dashboard.
- 05Select your workspace and confirm the boards. Choose the monday.com workspace; the integration auto-creates the Aircall Calls and Aircall Messages boards suffixed with an integration ID.
- 06Link your contact board and map columns. In the integration settings, link your CRM contact or lead board (it must be Public or Shared), map the name column and up to three phone columns, then enable insight cards, contact creation, and contact sync.
- 07Switch on message logging and AI insights. Message logging for SMS and WhatsApp is off by default; enable it. Choose which AI insights to log (summary, key topics, action items, sentiment) and whether they land in Updates or Timeline Events.
- 08Place a test call and text. Call a linked number from an external phone and send a test SMS. Confirm the call and message appear on their boards and the insight card shows on the matching CRM contact.
Install path and behaviors per Aircall's install guide2 and the marketplace listing5.
04 / Sync settings
What syncs, and what we switch on
V2 can log calls (with recordings and transcriptions), SMS and WhatsApp including multimedia, tags, and AI insights: call summary, key topics, action items, sentiment, playbook, and custom summary2. Aircall documents the toggles; here is what we actually set for a 5 to 15 seat team, and why:
- Message logging: ON (default is off). Texts are half the conversation with modern customers; a CRM without them is a partial record.
- Contact creation: ON. Contact sync: ON. Unknown callers become CRM rows automatically instead of 'Aircall New Contact' placeholders, and edits flow after the next touch (that timing is documented, not a bug).
- Insight cards: ON. Whoever answers sees the CRM context while the phone is still ringing.
- AI insights: summary, key topics, and action items to the Updates section. Updates keep insights on the item where your team already works; skip sentiment at this team size, it's noise until you have call volume.
- Tag automations: start with exactly one. Tag a call as qualified, let the automation move the deal stage and fire the follow-up SMS. Add more once the team trusts the first one.
05 / Boards
The board architecture we install
The integration gives you two logging boards. A working phone stack needs three roles wired together, and this is the pattern we install for real clients:
1. The CRM board is the source of truth. One contact/lead board (Public or Shared), name column plus up to three phone columns mapped into the integration. Every insight card, sync, and automation hangs off this board, so resist the urge to link more than one.
2. The auto-created logging boards stay raw. Aircall Calls and Aircall Messages are the event log. Don't restructure them; build views on top (missed calls today, messages awaiting reply) and let automations read from them.
3. Ring groups map to views, not boards. Sales line, support line, and office line each get a filtered view over the logging boards keyed to their numbers, so each team sees its own call queue without fragmenting the data.
Done-for-you install / $499 flat
This is the part teams underestimate. We install monday CRM + Aircall + DocRunner for $499.
One flat fee covers the whole working stack: your monday CRM boards built, the Aircall V2 integration installed and configured with the settings we recommend in these guides, numbers linked, and DocRunner wired in for document workflows. Setup work is completed in one business day; if you are porting existing numbers, carrier timelines apply and phones are typically live within a week.
Book your install slotThe $499 fee covers setup labor only. Aircall seats and usage are billed by Aircall directly; monday.com licenses are not included; DocRunner is $40/month after setup. Engagements are governed by our Terms. LaunchEngine is an Aircall partner and may earn referral commissions.
06 / Automations
What to automate first
The V2 integration supports updating Status and Dropdown columns from Aircall tags, and SMS automation rules that send texts from monday.com triggers2,3. The first automation we install: agent tags the call "qualified", the deal moves stage, and a follow-up text goes out before the agent has hung up their headset. One tag, three effects, zero admin.
From there the stack extends naturally: when deals close, document workflows take over (that's where DocRunner sends the agreement for signature from the same board), and AI agents can work the boards the integration fills; our guide to AI agents on monday.com covers that layer.
07 / Coming from V1
Migrating from the legacy integration
If your current setup came from the old board-template flow, you're on V1, and the features in this guide (message logging, AI insights, contact sync, tag automations) are V2 features. Aircall publishes an upgrade guide for the move4; the practical path is to install V2 fresh alongside, confirm logging works, then retire the old board. The V1-vs-V2 tells and the migration gotchas are covered in our troubleshooting guide.
