monday.com WorkForms take answers from a shared link (or an embedded form) and create or update items on a board. That is the whole product promise: intake without a separate form tool.
The plan gates matter more than the builder UI. You can create forms on every plan. Hide branding and URL-parameter pre-fill start on Pro. Conditional logic, password protection, and account pre-fill are Enterprise. I checked monday’s WorkForms help articles and pricing page on October 13, 2026.
If you only need a clean request form that dumps into a board, Standard is enough. If you need branching questions or password-gated access, budget for Enterprise before you promise that to stakeholders.

How WorkForms relate to board columns
monday is explicit about one gotcha that burns new builders: form questions are managed separately from board columns. Adding a column to the board does not add a question to the form. You add questions inside the WorkForm editor.
Each question type maps to a column type when the form is connected to a board:
| Question | Board column |
|---|---|
| Short text | Text |
| Long text | Long Text |
| Number | Numbers |
| Single select | Status |
| Multi select | Dropdown |
| Date | Date |
| Date range | Timeline |
| Phone / Email / Location / Country / Link | Matching columns |
| Upload file / Signature | Files |
| Rating | Rating |
| True/False | Checkbox |
| People | People |
Tip from monday’s docs: create and name the board column first, then add that column as a question so titles stay in sync.
People on public forms: an admin must enable Administration → Customization → Features → Allow public account forms to use account data, or the People question stays hidden to submitters.
Build a WorkForm step by step
- Open the board that should receive submissions.
- Add or open a Form / WorkForm view (from the board views or the Form entry monday documents in “Get started with WorkForms”).
- In Edit, set the title, description, optional welcome page, and submission button text.
- Use + Add content to add questions. Prefer linking to existing columns when the field already exists.
- Mark required fields with the cog → Required.
- Under Design, set theme, logo, progress bar, and (on Pro+) hide branding.
- Under Settings, decide: multiple submissions, save as draft, anonymous mode, close date, redirects after submit.
- Preview, then share the link or embed.
Conditional logic (Enterprise)
Conditional logic shows follow-up questions only when a prior answer matches a rule. monday documents OR-style conditions on a defining question; questions with logic cannot be freely reordered in the builder because they depend on earlier answers.
You can also ask monday’s form AI to draft a form with branching (“If Support issue, ask for ticket number”), then edit the logic by hand. Treat AI drafts as a first pass — verify every branch before you share the link.
If you’re on Pro and need branching today, your real options are: upgrade, run two separate forms, or collect everything and filter on the board. Don’t promise Enterprise-only behavior on a Pro quote.
Settings worth turning on (and off)
- Save as draft — long forms; submitters can leave and return.
- Submit multiple forms — orders, RSVPs, recurring requests.
- Make anonymous — surveys where identity should stay off the item.
- Close form / redirect URL — event cutoffs and “thanks” pages on your site.
- Form tags — URL tags that write provenance into a Text column (useful for campaign tracking).
- Password protection — Enterprise only; use when the link itself is the access control.
For dashboarding submissions after they land, see monday.com dashboards. For calculated fields on the same board, see the formula column guide (also Pro+).
Practical intake patterns that hold up
IT / ops request: short text (summary), single select (type), long text (details), date (needed by), People (requester on internal forms). Route with an automation on Status after triage — don’t overbuild the form.
Creative brief: multi-page layout with a content block for “what good looks like,” file upload for references, date range for campaign window. Keep conditional Enterprise branches for “paid media vs organic” only if you truly need different fields.
Client-facing: hide branding (Pro+), password or require login when the content is sensitive (Enterprise for password). Prefer a redirect to your own thank-you page so the last screen matches your site.
Honest limits
- Standard’s 250 automation actions / month is easy to burn when every submission triggers multi-step workflows. Pro’s 25,000 is the usual fix — see monday pricing.
- Questions ≠ columns. Teams that “fix the board” then wonder why new columns never appear on the form waste a day on this.
- Conditional logic cannot replace a real workflow engine. Complex AND trees belong in board automations after submit, not in the form.
- Public People fields need an admin toggle. Without it, the question looks “broken.”
Compared with ClickUp forms, Smartsheet forms, and Jira forms, monday wins when the destination is already a monday board and you want visual status columns on day one. It loses when you need deep branching on a mid-tier plan.
Common questions
Do I need Enterprise for monday.com WorkForms?
No. Creating and sharing forms works on Free through Enterprise. Enterprise is required for conditional logic, password protection, and account pre-fill. Pro adds hide branding, URL pre-fill, and subitem questions.
Why did I add a board column but it doesn’t show on the form?
WorkForm questions are independent of board columns. Open the form editor and use + Add content (or add the existing column by name) to include it.
Can submitters save a draft and finish later?
Yes, if you enable Save as draft in form settings. Turn it on for long questionnaires; leave it off for short request forms where partials create noise.
Is conditional logic available on Pro?
Not according to monday’s WorkForms plan notes and third-party plan matrices that match the help center. Conditional logic is documented as an Enterprise WorkForms capability. URL-parameter pre-fill is the Pro-level personalization feature.
