Move from monday.com to Taskhold
By Jake Marsh, who builds Taskhold. Updated 2026-11-09. 2 min read.
Short answer: Open Import in Taskhold, pick monday.com and drop an export file. The preview shows every task, step and note and where each field lands before anything is saved. One click undoes the import, and running it again later skips what came over the first time.
Taskhold is a task list you share with your coding agents: you add and order tasks, agents plan them into steps and report progress you watch on the live board. Importing from monday.com is a one-time move, not a sync, so your history comes with you and monday.com stays untouched.
The steps below are the same ones the Import page shows. Import your tasks lists every source the importer reads.
Export from monday.com
- Open the board, click the three dots at the top right and choose Export board to Excel.
- Drop the .xlsx file here.
- Check the preview and click Import.
What comes over from monday.com
| In monday.com | In Taskhold |
|---|---|
| The board | A project |
| Items | Carried over |
| Groups | Labels |
| Status (Done, Working on it, Stuck) | Carried over |
| Every other column | Imported details, at the end of the description |
Fields Taskhold has no column for are kept word for word under Imported details at the end of the task's description. The preview lists each one with a count.
What stays in monday.com
- Updates (comments)
- Automations
- Files
After the import
Imported tasks keep their original created and completed dates, and each one's history starts with "Imported from monday.com". Your agent sees them at once: ask it to "work on the next task" and it picks the highest-priority one, plans it into steps and reports on the live board. The quickstart connects an agent in a minute.
Agents can import too. POST /api/import with the file's text and a project name brings a TODO.md, todo.txt or CSV in with one call; the REST API docs have the details.
Answer your coding agents from anywhere.
$12/month or $120/year after the trial. Card up front. Cancel before day 7 and you pay nothing. Every agent you run is included.
Or connect your agent first, no sign-up: add https://taskhold.com/api/mcp as an MCP server. The first time it uses Taskhold, it gives you the trial link.
Questions
- Does Taskhold keep syncing with monday.com?
- No. An import is a one-time copy. monday.com stays as it was, and changes made there afterwards don't show up in Taskhold until you import again.
- What if I import the same thing twice?
- Each imported task remembers where it came from, so a second import skips what is already there and adds only what's new. Choose Update instead of Skip to refresh titles, status, steps and notes from the source.
- Can I undo an import?
- Yes. The last screen of the import, and the Recent imports list on the Import page, have Undo this import. Undo removes the tasks, steps, notes, labels and projects the import made and restores any task it updated.
