The workflow: Manage academic calendars, collect student and parent information, coordinate between faculty and administration, track program delivery.
The problem education teams solve with integrations: Educational institutions run on two parallel tracks: the administrative track (enrollment, scheduling, compliance, budgeting) and the academic track (curriculum delivery, student engagement, faculty coordination). monday.com typically handles the administrative side — program management boards, event planning, departmental task tracking. But the data collection and scheduling tools that feed these boards are deeply embedded in Google Workspace, which is the default technology layer for most schools and universities.
How education teams use the stack:
Google Calendar manages the academic calendar alongside administrative timelines. Faculty meeting schedules, exam periods, enrollment deadlines, and campus events all appear on the relevant monday.com boards. For program coordinators managing multiple concurrent programs, the embedded calendar provides at-a-glance scheduling visibility that prevents double-booking rooms, faculty, and resources.
Google Forms is the primary data collection tool for education. Student intake forms, course evaluations, event registrations, parent consent forms, faculty feedback surveys — education generates more form-based data than almost any other sector. Embedding these forms on monday.com boards means submissions flow directly into the administrative workflow. A student enrollment form embedded on the "New Cohort" board creates a monday.com item for each new student, triggering the onboarding workflow automatically.
Figma serves education teams in unexpected ways. Curriculum designers, instructional designers, and university marketing teams use Figma for visual work — course materials, campus maps, event collateral, website redesigns. Embedding Figma files on the project board keeps design review and project management in one view.
