I am helping my HR team transfer their processes from Excel to Monday. A recurring theme is how we store references to employees. For example, an item might represent a hire, with a column for their manager. Currently, the best we can do is store their name, possibly with a second column for their email. The problem with this approach is it is cumbersome and hard to automate (if I only have a manager’s name, I can’t send an email to them). What I would love is the ability to create a custom column type with a custom autocomplete that pulls from our employee database. I tested creating a custom item view that added an employee autocomplete (which bound back to a name and employee id) field but this forces them to edit this data from the item view. My best option right now is a separate board storing employee data, synced from our employee db, with references to this board in other boards. How are others solving this problem?

Hello, I’m looking for a way to update order of items in group via API. Is it possible?

Hi, I’m a bit confused by the discounts we can grant to customers. I am trying to grant a customer a 40% discount for 6 months. If I create a non-recurring monthly discount and delete it after 6 months, does that work? Or would it only apply the discount for 1 month? If I create a recurring discount, I’m told it can not be deleted so I’m guessing creating a recurring monthly discount is not an option if I only want it to apply for 6 months. Thanks

Hi team, I’m trying to parse the email content from a timeline_items { created_at type title content custom_activity_id user { id name } id item { name email } board { id } } query. In the native email and activities tab, I can see where we received the email from. However, in the API, it doesn’t appear to be a way to see this. query { items (ids: [8602775315]) { name email } } leads me to a @use1.mx.monday.com email as well. Is there a way to get the email from API?

Hey, I’am currently working with n8n workflows and try to upload a file to a monday item column. Unfortunately it’s a pretty tough task as the error messages aren’t very detailed.. My last try returned an error 400 with “error_message”: “Unsupported query”. Maybe someone see the problem in my code and can give me a hint? 😕 I’am working on this for hours now.. pretty frustrating. const fetch = require('node-fetch'); const { Blob } = require("buffer"); // set auth token and query //API-KEY removed for safety reasons var API_KEY = "YOUR-API-KEY" //set query var query = 'mutation ($file: File!) {add_file_to_column (file: $file, item_id: "'+$('Extract Monday IDs from path').first().json.itemid+'", column_id: "'+$('Filter2').first().json.id+'") { id } }'; // set URL var url = "https://api.monday.com/v2/file"; //Create blob from binary data const uploadFile = new Blob([$('Code').first().json.binaryFile.data.data], { type: $('Code').first().json.binaryFile.data.mimeType }); //Crea

Good day, As far as I understand, the Status column cannot have more than one active tag, while the Dropdown Menu column can contain up to 500 tags. In this case, I need the client to select multiple services within the same column, and the emails associated with those selected tags should be sent. Would it be possible to add the Dropdown Menu to the Automation options and its Labels?

Hi all, I’m running into the following error when trying to run a mutation. My code (below) is based on Monday’s platform API guide: GraphQL overview. { “uri”: “https://api.monday.com/v2”, “method”: “POST”, “queries”: { “query”: “mutation { change_column_value ( item_id: 8626366937, board_id: 8626366830, column_id: "Status", value: "Overdue") { id } }” }, “headers”: { “Authorization”: “sanitized”, “content-type”: “application/json” } } Error message {“errors”:[{“message”:“Invalid GraphQL request”,“extensions”:{“details”:“failed to deserialize the request body into JSON: expected , or } at line 1 column 101”,“code”:“INVALID_GRAPHQL_REQUEST”}}],“account_id”:8064265} It seems there is a syntax error with "status", but I haven’t been able to figure out what it is. According to Monday’s own API guide, after column_id, there should be a String with value equal to the column’s title you are trying to edit. Has anyone run into a similar error? For reference, here is the example code from the

Hello, I am querying the boards using API and getting team subscribers as -1. Does anyone know why it would show that? "team_subscribers": [ { "id": "-1" } ] Also, when I use “delete_teams_from_board” and pass -1, it would show success with status code 200 but nothing happens and team is still present on the board. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Vipul

Hi , I want to ask is there any query we can use to get Account from Contact ID for example I use below query to get contact from phone { “query”: “{items_page_by_column_values (limit: 50, board_id: 1984233816, columns: [{column_id: "contact_phone", column_values: ["14153739914"]}]) { cursor items { id name } } }” } then i can get contact id { “data”: { “items_page_by_column_values”: { “cursor”: null, “items”: [ { “id”: “1984234139”, “name”: “Steven Scott” } ] } }, “account_id”: 28494386 } How can I get Account information from this Contact ?

I want to know that user has closed this modal.

Hello! Would it be possible to configure the AI ​​configuration for columns when the action is custom, and emails (example1@gmail.com; example2@gmail.com) are extracted from a reflection column (Text), and when passed through AI, it uses the separation of ; since it doesn’t have… it only displays the emails separately and with a space, and this way the emails aren’t sent to all recipients.

I have a fill forum that contains drop down items, is there a way to convert my drop-down items into a notification or note that is automatically left inside of the update’s column once the fill forum is complete and the item is submitted to the board, so everyone can just check the updates column only?

Hi Team - is there a limit for creating Subitems per items for Enterprise account? at the moment I can create only 500 Sub items per item by Calling Monday APIs from our app, also when it reaches 500 subitems I see this error which prevents from creating further subitems, the error itself is bit misguiding though error - `{“data”:{“create_subitem”:null},“errors”:[{“message”:“CellLimitExceededException: Validation of column values failed: Exceeded cell limit.”,“locations”:[{“line”:1,“column”:10}],“path”:[“create_subitem”],“extensions”:{“code”:“CellLimitExceededException”,“status_code”:422,“error_data”:{“message”:“CellLimitExceededException: Validation of column values failed: Exceeded cell limit.”,“limit”:500,“limit_type”:“count”,“column_type”:“subtasks”}}}]} Thanks

Hello Monday.com Community, I am currently working on integrating Monday.com with our system using the GraphQL API. I need to update the Button Column Label programmatically, but I couldn’t find a direct way to do this in the API documentation. I need to update the Button Column Label programmatically to show meaningful text instead of the default “Click Me” label.

Hi all, I’ve been working on an app with integration actions and I’ve been struggling to find a comprehensive description of the format of the Authorization header passed through. This would come in very helpful as the app needs to validate the subscription of the account performing the action but there is no defined subscription field in the example format here despite me knowing it exists from testing. Is there more comprehensive documentation on the valid format of the JWT anywhere?

I have a Monday Code hosted app that I’m working on implementing webhooks for, but I’m having an issue getting a shortLivedToken. This code handles the webhook POST call: import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'; import jwt from 'jsonwebtoken'; import { headers } from 'next/headers'; export async function POST(request: Request) { try { const headersList = headers(); const authHeader = headersList.get('Authorization'); const token = authHeader!.replace('Bearer ', ''); const clientSecret = process.env.CLIENT_SECRET; const decoded = jwt.verify(token, clientSecret!); const accessToken = decoded.shortLivedToken; } catch (error) { // handle error } } and decoded evaluates to: { "fields": { "dat": { "structValue": { "fields": { "client_id": { "stringValue": "b11**********************", "kind": "stringValue" }, "app_version_id": {

I’ve run into a problem with my app, where I update items on multiple boards using change_multiple_column_values mutation. My query is working, apart from some boards / items, where I get UserUnauthorizedException - though I am able to access the board in question and edit items on it by hand. This error is also thrown when using token of someone with admin rights. I am a programmer and not an avid Monday user myself, so maybe I am missing something obvious, like a setting on a certain item or column? How would I check that? What else should I check?

Hello, I’m exploring integration options and wondering how to integrate Monday.com with Outlook Tasks. Where can I find information/guidance on this? Thank you, Anat

Hello 🙌 As I said in the title the issue is that I don’t get the data I requested from the operations that executed successfuly. I only get errors if at least one operation fails I’m not sure if this is a mistake on my end since it’s the first time I’m working with graphQL I’ve tried it in both the playground and in my codebase Here’s my query mutation { mutate1: change_multiple_column_values( item_id: 8152384251 board_id: 8109281540 column_values: "{\\"name\\": \\"ASD\\", \\"status\\": {\\"index\\": \\"0\\"}, \\"date4\\": {\\"date\\": \\"2025-02-09\\", \\"time\\": \\"20:03:26\\"} }" ) { id name } mutate2: change_multiple_column_values( item_id: 8152384251 board_id: 8109281540 column_values: "{\\"name\\": \\"ASDASDASD\\", \\"status\\": {\\"index\\": \\"0\\"}, \\"date4\\": {\\"date\\": \\"2025-02-09\\", \\"time\\": \\"20:03:26\\"} }" ) { id name } delete2: delete_item(item_id: "5242344") { id } delete3: delete_item(

I can pass url as a parameter when creating webhooks, but when querying for webhooks the url property is not part of the schema. This is incredible bad. What if I need to recreate certain webhooks with a different endpoint URL? I could delete all webhooks but might unintended delete webhooks for other integrations as I can’t filter for only those webhooks that contain the wrong URL. This information is visible through the UI, but I can’t get the same info through the graphql API. Why not?
