Automate Contact Creation in Monday with Mautic & n8n

What This Automation Does 🔌

This workflow starts working every time a new contact is added in Mautic.
It takes the contact’s first name, last name, and email.
Then it creates a new item in Monday.com with that information.
This removes the need to type details manually.

You get a fresh Monday.com item for each new lead without extra work.

Inputs, Processing Steps, and Output

Inputs

• Mautic new contact event: The workflow waits for Mautic to send info when a new lead is made.

Processing Steps

• The Mautic Trigger node listens for the new lead saved event.
• It extracts the first name, last name, and email from the Mautic data.
• The Monday.com node forms a new item name by joining first and last names.
• It also creates an email column value using the email address.
• The Monday.com node sends this data to the correct board and group.

Output

A new item appears automatically in Monday.com for each new Mautic contact.
