Column Mapping
Map Adobe Sign agreement form fields to monday.com board columns for automatic data sync.
How Column Mapping Works
Column mapping controls how data flows from Adobe Sign back to your monday.com board:
- Agreement → Board (
agreementsToBoard) — When an agreement is updated, form field data can be written back to board columns
Additionally, Agreement Status Sync (agreementStatusSync) controls whether agreement status changes are reflected in a Status column on your board.
Automatic Name-Matching
When syncing form field data back to your board, SignFlow matches fields to columns by name. For example:
- An Adobe Sign form field with ID
company_namewill match a monday.com column titled "company_name" (or "Company Name" — matching is case-insensitive and normalizes spaces to underscores)
Custom Mappings
For more precise control, define custom mappings that link a specific form field from a specific template to a specific board column.
Each custom mapping has:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Board ID | The monday.com board this mapping applies to |
| Column ID | The monday.com column to write to |
| Library Document ID | The Adobe Sign template this mapping applies to |
| Form Field ID | The form field in the template to map |
Custom mappings take priority over automatic name-matching for the same board.
Incoming Data (Agreement → Board)
When an agreement's status changes in Adobe Sign, SignFlow can sync form field data back to your board. This is controlled by the Agreements to Board setting:
| Option | Behavior |
|---|---|
do_nothing | No form field data is synced |
update_column | Updates existing columns that match form field names |
create_column | Creates new columns if no match exists, then updates them |
Data Type Handling
SignFlow parses form field values based on their display format:
| Form Field Type | monday.com Column Type | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Date | Date | 2026-03-15 |
| Number | Number | 5000 |
| Text (default) | Text | "Acme Corp" |
Agreement Status Sync
When enabled (sync_status), SignFlow creates or updates a Status column on your board for each agreement. The column label reflects the current Adobe Sign state:
IN_PROCESS— sent, awaiting signaturesSIGNED— all parties signedCANCELLED— cancelled by senderEXPIRED— signing deadline passedDRAFT— in draft stateAUTHORING— fields being added
If the Status column doesn't exist on the board, SignFlow creates one automatically.
Per-Board Configuration
Each board has its own configuration and column mappings. This lets you use different column layouts and sync settings for different workflows (e.g., one board for contracts, another for NDAs).
