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_name will 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:

PropertyDescription
Board IDThe monday.com board this mapping applies to
Column IDThe monday.com column to write to
Library Document IDThe Adobe Sign template this mapping applies to
Form Field IDThe 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:

OptionBehavior
do_nothingNo form field data is synced
update_columnUpdates existing columns that match form field names
create_columnCreates new columns if no match exists, then updates them

Data Type Handling

SignFlow parses form field values based on their display format:

NumberNumber5000
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 signatures
  • SIGNED — all parties signed
  • CANCELLED — cancelled by sender
  • EXPIRED — signing deadline passed
  • DRAFT — in draft state
  • AUTHORING — 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).
