OK, at some time there has been an undocumented change to the create_timeline_item mutation. You used to be able to send a timestamp in and it would respect that timestamp as the created_at  time.Example:mutation createTimelineEntry($customActivityId: String!, $itemId: ID!, $title: String!, $summary: String!, $content: String!, $timestamp: ISO8601DateTime!) { create_timeline_item( item_id: $itemId custom_activity_id: $customActivityId title: $title summary: $summary content: $content timestamp: $timestamp ) { id }}GraphQL Variables:{ "timestamp": "2024-05-08T11:34:39.000Z", "customActivityId": "e589f9c3-b4a7-4a7f-bcc1-d6164f4460b7", "itemId": 2957556816, "title": "🕰️ Historic walk around Sheffield", "summary": "Dear John\n\nThank you for signin

Let's say my app is an integration with M365/Outlook and has a trigger "When email is flagged in Outlook"...I need to create this automation block as a trigger with:A subscribe URL - create the incoming webhook subscription from Outlook to listen to events An unsubscribe URL -  deletes the incoming webhook from OutlookBoth of these will use the credentials feature and monday will pass me a valid, but short lived access token for use with Microsoft 365.Here's the hard part...I also need to regularly update the Microsoft Graph to renew the webhook subscription (as mail subscriptions expire after 3 days)This will need to be done with a monday-code cron job which:requests a new access token from monday for the correct user sends the webhook subscription renewal to MicrosoftIn the old infra

Hi! Please add the ability to get visibility into uninstall feedback in the developer center. 

I have a credentials block configured in my automation with scope x. I'm adding a new automation block that requires an additional scope y, so the combined scopes are now x y.New sign-ins will correctly receive the x y scope. However, users who previously authenticated only have the x scope stored.My question: When one of those existing automations runs for a user with only the x scope, what happens?Does the OAuth token refresh using the original x scope and continue to work? Or does it attempt a refresh with the new x y scope, fail due to the mismatch, and break the automation?Follow-up: If existing users do need to re-authenticate, what's the recommended way to surface that to them — is there a built-in mechanism in monday.com for prompting re-auth, or does that need to be handled manually?

Hi monday team,I’m debugging a monday-code live installation issue and wanted to confirm expected behavior for the signed JWT aud field.For a new user installing the live app, the authenticated request context contains this public base URL derived from aud:https://ee78c-service-14856766-dfa...But the expected live app URL is:https://live1-service-14856766-dfa...Example log:[userId=103522...] Authenticated monday request context: { accountId: 14856..., userId: 103522..., hasBackToUrl: true, hasShortLivedToken: true, publicBaseUrl: 'https://ee78c-service-14856766-dfa...' }We use the JWT aud value to build OAuth redirect URIs and Google Calendar webhook URLs. If aud can contain a transient/internal service URL instead of the canonical live URL, those redirects/webhooks may be registered against the wrong host.Is it expected that aud may point to a non-live monday-code service URL for l

Hi everyone,I'm running into an issue with the Apps Framework regarding custom automations, and I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this or if it's a known bug.The Setup:I've built an integration that relies on a custom trigger for file uploads. In the setup, the user authorizes and selects their credentials, which are tied to their external platform's team ID and user ID.The Issue:When a user builds the automation from scratch using the custom recipe, everything works perfectly. The credentialsValues object is properly populated in the webhook payload, allowing us to route the request to the correct external team.However, when we package this exact same setup into an Automation Template and the user installs it, the webhook fires but the credentialsValues object drops entirely and comes through as empty ({}).I think this wouldn’t be the expected behaviour. 

Hi,I added an "action" feature and set up a dialog box to "large," but it doesn't take up that much space.Can I somehow render larger dialog?

Hello!With the deprecation of “Integration for sentence builder”, I need to migrate my existing workflow blocks to the new automation blocks. I’m struggling to reproduce the same behavior.My current, working sentence builder action works like this:When column changes → user selects the relevant column → user selects my action → user maps the fields.For example:When Registration changes → then set vehicle brand in >brand column<When the automation runs, monday sends the following parameters to my Run URL:boardId itemId columnId — the selected Registration column columnValue — the actual Registration value brandColumnId — the column where I should write the brandUsing these parameters, I can update the item through the GraphQL API

Hi,I need to include two separate views in the document. One that perfectly matches the "Doc Action" is great for "actions" called from the document content. Second, I want a top bar-level "button" that will show different content for that document. Can I use the "Doc toolbar AI assistant" because it seems to match my needs? However, my feature is not related to AI at all.

I recently connected Claude Chat to Monday. Claude said it created three new boards for me, but I can’t see them. We are subscribed to CRM and I just started the trial for Work Management. As the conversation with Claude progressed, it told me that via the connector it can only see the Main workspace. It can’t see CRM or Work Management. And I don’t see a Main workspace, only CRM and Work Management. How do I open up visibility so Claude can work in our CRM and Work Management workspaces?

For a Multi-level board, when I create a column of type Date, and then query the boards columns again, I do not see the Date column I just created returned via the API, even though I can see it was created in the UI.This also applies to the default Timeline column. Is this a bug?How can I get the Ids of a Date typed columns in order to insert the data into these columns via the API?

Hi everyone,I’ve been diving into the updates and it’s great to see the new support for querying multi-level subitems and the hierarchy_types: [multi_level] argument.However, I’ve hit a wall regarding programmatic creation. Currently, create_board seems to default to the classic structure. While we can now query deep hierarchies, I don't see a way to initialize a board as "Multi-Level" via the API.Are there plans to support multi-level boards creation via API?

Hey, I know that it is possible to connect items in the Connect Boards column via the api, once the column is already connected to a board. I wonder, is there a way to connect a board if there is no board connected yet to the column? If so, how? Thanks!

I have create and application on the development center, then I have create a feature on the section of Board multi items menu but, when a select 3 items and go to my application I am only receiving a sessionToken in the request. I do not see a way to make a API call to retrieve the 3 selected items I have. How can I get my batch or context information with the items I had selected in order to execute my actions on those ids?? I am using API calls, no SDK at the moment. Please advise. Ronald

Hi everyone,I'm trying to post to a board's discussion section (not item-level updates) using the API. I can successfully read board-level updates using:query { boards(ids: [YOUR_BOARD_ID]) { updates(limit: 25, page: 1) { id body creator { id name } } }}However when trying to write, the create_update mutation only seems to support item_id — there's no board_id argument (confirmed via the playground autocomplete).Is there any workaround for posting to board-level discussion via the API? Or is this simply not supported as a write operation?Thanks!

Hi everyone,We are on an Enterprise plan and are trying to programmatically manage our product seat allocations via the API.Currently, we use the GraphQL invite_users mutation to provision our developers with access to the monday dev product: { "query": "mutation { invite_users(emails: [\"[Trigger.User.Email]\"], product: dev, user_role: MEMBER) { errors { message code email } invited_users { name id } } }"} We have a requirement to unassign/remove the work_management product seat from specific users while ensuring they keep their active monday dev seat.Testing in the API Playground, we couldn't find a GraphQL mutation to modify or strip an existing user's product allocations.Is there an undocumented or upcoming GraphQL mutation to update/remove specific product licenses from a user? Any guidance or workarounds from the team would be

I’ve noticed questions go unanswered here routinely. Announcements are made and questions are asked and nobody replies. Is there another community we’re supposed to be using instead?

Hi everyone,I am currently trying to connect my Outlook calendar with my calendar so that both can sync together.I attempted to set this up using an integration.However, I ran into an issue where, even though I am using my office email account with admin rights, the system rejects the connection and prompts me to login in using an admin account instead.What’s confusing is that I am already the admin, so I am not sure why the sync is being blocked.Has anyone experienced this before, or could anyone guide me on what I might be missing or what I should try next? Thanks in advance for your help!

With Portfolio (and I know most ppl here don't have access to that)...When I create a project board from a portfolio board, how do I know which project board a portfolio item is connected to, unless there's already an item in the project board?Once there's an item in the project board, they are automatically connected and I can access them using this:query linkedItems($portfolioBoardItemId: ID!) { items(ids: [ $portfolioBoardItemId ]) { column_values(types: [ board_relation ]) { id column { title settings # contains a list of *all* connected project boards } ... on BoardRelationValue { id linked_items { id name board { # Project board id name type } } }

What happens to an async automation block that has OAuth access to monday, but doesn't complete in the 30 minutes allowed for the shortLivedToken for async blocks?If I have OAuth access to monday in my block, I can take all the time in the world to complete, but will it say "In progress" after 30+. minutes, or "timeout failure" in the automation history?Let's say that I am importing a 20k row Excel spreadsheet into a boardIf I do this using the client side SDK in a view, like you can with Ripple Import, it will take about 4 hours to write everything to monday – I know, I've done it. You have to keep the computer awake and the browser tab open.But what happens if my async automation block takes 4 hours to complete?Can I publish a % completed back to monday as I go along?

HiIs there a way to connect to the Document DB with admin/write permissions?I’m aware of the https://developer.monday.com/apps/docs/command-line-interface-cli#mapps-databaseconnection-string command, but it generates read-only connection (https://developer.monday.com/apps/docs/document-db#step-3-generate-a-temporary-connection-string). I’m working on an app and I’m testing some stuff in my development environment. I would appreciate having more control, like for example an ability to clear the database.

In the Status column documentation, it says that “The column's value as text. Returns null if the column has an empty value.” This is true, and can initially be verified when querying for the `settings` value within the column that there is no entry for the default label, which is the gray label that looks like this in the label editor: However, If the user clicks on the Default Label, enters text, applies the changes, and then goes back and deletes all the text so the default label is empty again, and applies, then an entry appears in the column’s settings that has an empty string for the label:                 {                    "id": 5,

Hi, I would like to know if it’s possible to create a table in a Workdoc that can automatically calculate values, similar to an Excel table.For example, can I select specific cells and apply a formula (like =1*3) so that the result is calculated directly within the table?

Hi everyone,I’m currently facing an issue where credentialsValues is returning an empty object {} in my automation.Here’s what I’ve done so far:I’m using an automation block and have added the credentials there The keys match exactly between the feature configuration and my server code Despite this, credentialsValues is still coming through as {}Has anyone encountered this before or knows what might be causing it? Any help would be appreciated 🙏
