Hi everyone,I’m building a full-stack app using monday code (React UI + Express backend) and I want to make sure I’m following the correct authentication and authorization best practices.Current architectureUI → Backend authentication From the UI, I fetch monday.get("sessionToken") I send it to my backend in a request header In the backend, I verify/decode the sessionToken using my client_secret This works well for validating that the request comes from monday and from my app When decoding the sessionToken JWT, I noticed that it does not include a short-lived token that can be used to call monday APIs. OAuth & monday API calls I implemented a standard OAuth flow In the OAuth callback, I store the returned OAuth access token in Secure Storage When calling monday APIs from the backend, I retrieve that token and use it like this:  import { ApiClient } from "@mondaydotcomorg/api"; const mondayApiClient = new ApiClient({ token: accessToken }); const query = ` query { custom_ac

Hello Monday Dev Community. I’m brand new to building apps within Monday (haven’t coded in a long time, but getting back into the game). I’ve followed this Quickstart guide and everything worked up to step 6 which is the following: When I run npm run build, I get an error that the build script does not exist. I checked the package.json file and it does not include the “build” script. I’m thinking that the quickstart guide is out of date, but I don’t like to assume. This is a list of scripts that npm run shows:Am I missing something?  Is this quickstart guide out of date?  I appreciate any help you might provide.Jeff.

Just thought I’d put this here.You can get the region of the monday account by decoding the shortLivedToken from an automation and getting the value of rgn and  extracting the first 2 letters for au, eu, il or us.It contains other information too, but what is aai?Example decoded shortLivedToken:{ "alg": "HS256", "typ": "JWT"}.{ "shortLived": true, "uid": 6......4, // user_id: number "actid": 2......2, // account_id: number "aid": 1......4, // app_id: number "aai": 2....1, // ???????????????????????????????????????? "rgn": "euc1", // region: string "exp": 1768213333, // token expiry: number "iat": 1768213033 // token issued at: number}.[Signature] 

Hi everyone,Has anyone found a way to support standard or managed templates in cases when an app stores board related data that should be duplicated when new boards are created from a template?In our case, the app stores column related metadata (in monday storage) used for column views (https://developer.monday.com/apps/docs/column-views). If a user adds our column to a managed template, we would like the app data to be automatically populated for all boards created from that template, so they don’t need to configure it in each boards. New boards created from template should have the app data populated from template as well.So far, we have not found a way to associate boards with the template they were created from. Having something like a parentBoardId or template reference on boards would make this much easier. Also having the app notified when a new board is created from template would allow us to duplicate the configuration straight away.

Hello, I have some questions regarding ability of creation custom Column Views:Will be there some mechanism of conversion of ordinary column to custom one, without losing data and attached automations? Now if application is deleted, custom column becomes unclickable instead of turning to usual column as common sense suggests. Is it a bug? Will custom column views be supported in mobile app?In general it would be good to know roadmap for Custom Column improvements at least for nearest quarter to plan what can be get from platform and for what workarounds should be prepared.

 Hey everyone! 👋  I'm building a custom Monday.com app and running into an issue with custom field dependencies. Hoping someone here has encountered this before!  The Problem  I have two custom field types with a dependency relationship:  - Boardz (parent field) - Lists boards ✅ Working  - Viewz (dependent field) - Should list views from selected board ❌ Not working  When I select a board and then click on the view dropdown, no network request is made at all. The field just shows "Please select a board first" even though a board IS selected.  My Setup  Field Type 1 - "Boardz":  Type: List (Remote Options)  Remote Options URL: https://...app/integrations/remote-options/boards  Default field key: boardId  Dependencies: None  Status: ✅ Works perfectly - returns board list  Field Type 2 - "Viewz":  Type: List (Remote Options)  Remote Options URL: https://...app/integrations/remote-options/views  Default field key: viewId  Dependencies: Boardz (Field key: boardId)  Status: ❌ No network req

My automation has been successfully running the following mutation daily for weeks:```mutation updateItem($board_id: ID!, $item_id: ID!, $column_values: JSON!) { change_multiple_column_values( board_id: $board_id item_id: $item_id column_values: $column_values ) { id }}```With the following variables:```{ "board_id": 8767955035, "group_id": "topics", "column_values": "{\"date4\":\"2026-07-24 00:00:00\"}", "item_id": "8954255421"}```The `group_id` variable is set, but not used, so this is just a red herring.Today when it ran, I got the following response:```{ "data": {}, "errors": [ { "message": "Unauthorized field or type", "path": [ "change_multiple_column_values" ], "extensions": { "code": "UNAUTHORIZED_FIELD_OR_TYPE" } } ], "extensions": { "request_id": "601955a7-20fb-9f36-badf-826dbf31145e" }}```Nothing has changed on the app, automation, or board, but today it failed.Running the same mutation in the GraphQL pl

Hello everyone.I see monday recently added support for API Key Authentication in Credential Feature for workflow blocks, is there something similar for sentence recipe automations?But more importantly, would an app using API Key Authentication be accepted in the marketplace?I know OAuth is the recommended method and that’s what I’ve used for my other apps, but there are some third party services that don’t have OAuth.
