I want to create a Board menu features app. What it does is, when I select an item, I open the app and I ask for an api query, and the api returns the query result. I can map the results to the items on the board.

Hello there @aaronchen and welcome to the community!

I hope you like it here 💪

I am not sure I understand the question.

If you want to populate the board with the data you get from an API query, you can do that using the API (example).

Is that what you needed?

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Cheers,
Matias

Hello again @aaronchen,

You can find everything about our API here 😀

Depending on what you need to change (which type of column), you will have to use something like this.

You can find the correct syntax to update each column type here and in all the articles under " Column types reference"!

Hello there @aaronchen,

If the event used as the trigger happens inside of monday, you will need monday to notify an endpoint on your end about it. For that you can use a webhook or an integration feature in an app, with a built-in trigger.

You can use the API to get data such as the account name.

I am not sure what the view with the 3rd step (search) means so I could not comment on that.

Then I am guessing you want to get data from your server into a monday board (step 6) and for that you can also use the API as shown in the documentation (link above) and in these examples 😀

I hope that helps!

Cheers,
Matias

The third step is implemented in the integration and has nothing to do with Monday

Hello again @aaronchen, if the step is related to getting information from monday boards, you need to use our API as shown here.

If the step is not related to monday, then I would not be able to say which API you will need for that.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Cheers,
Matias
