Overview
The monday CRM AI Sales Agent conducts voice outreach and SMS follow-ups from your account. Describe what you want your AI Sales Agent to do, and the agent will take care of the rest.
You can run several agents in parallel—each with its own instructions, call rules, voice, and language. Multiple teams and campaigns can work side by side without overwriting each other. You stay in control: every call is logged in the lead's timeline with a summary, transcript, and outcome.
Key benefits
- Quick setup — describe the job, the agent fills in the rest
- Multiple agents per user for different campaigns, regions, or playbooks
- Faster lead response with always-on outbound calling
- Calls and SMS logged inside the item's timeline
- Built-in safety limits to protect against credit burn and spam
Set up your AI Sales Agent
You can open your AI Sales Agent from your Leads board or from the left pane.
Leads board
On your Leads board, click the AI Agents dropdown at the top of the board. Select AI Sales Agent:
Left pane
Open the monday AI dropdown and select AI Agents. Then, select AI Sales Agent:
To set up your agent according to your team's specification, follow these steps.
Step 1 — Describe the agent
Write a short prompt explaining your use case. For example: "Call inbound demo requests within 5 minutes, qualify budget and timeline, and gauge interest in a follow-up." Click Create agent to begin set up.
The agent generates a name, opening line, instructions, voice, language, and SMS template.
Step 2 — Review and edit
You can edit the language, voice, name, speaking style, instructions, opening message, SMS body, and dynamic column variables. A detail meter helps you tell whether your prompt is rich enough. Invalid column references are flagged in red.
On the right, you can input your number and click Start test call to test the agent. Check that you're satisfied with its settings before proceeding by clicking Next.
Step 3 — Pick the board and phone column
Select the board your agent will work on, then choose the column on your board where phone numbers are stored. All numbers must have country codes. If numbers are missing country codes, you'll see a warning banner before you can activate.
Click Activate agent to continue.
Step 4 — Add the trigger
After confirming the agent, you'll be taken to monday Automations to set the trigger that prompts the agent to make a call. For example: "When status changes to Qualified trigger agent to call the contact."

Per-item timeline
Every call also appears as a timeline activity on the item, with the agent name, summary, and phone number.

FAQs
Can I run more than one agent at the same time?
Yes. Each user can create up to 10 agents and switch between them from the agent picker. Agents run independently and don't overwrite each other's settings.
Can I use the agent on any board?
Yes. During setup you choose which board the agent works on and which column holds the phone numbers. The agent is not limited to the Leads board.
Why does my agent need a country code on every phone number?
All numbers must have a country code (i.e. +1 for the USA, +44 for the UK, etc.). Without a country code the call cannot be routed and will fail. The setup flow flags missing country codes before activation.
What happens if a lead is already on a call with another agent?
Only one live call per item is allowed at a time. A second call to the same item is blocked until the first one finishes.
How do I stop an agent from operating?
Open the agent, click the three-dot menu, and choose to pause or reset it. Resetting deletes the configuration permanently.
How are calls logged?
Each call creates a timeline activity on the item with the agent name, phone number, summary, and a link to the full transcript.
How does monday.com protect call data?
Calls follow the same security standards as the rest of monday.com— AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, and Zero Data Retention with AI providers. See the Trust Center for details.
What features can we expect to see added to AI Sales Agent in future releases?
