API & Apps framework

Hi Team, I am creating an monday app where I am display some data on the app importing that from monday CRM. I am able to fetch all the details about the deals board but I wanted to fetch some of the accounts and contacts data that is related to a particular deal item. Suppose we have deal1, deal2, deal3, and I want to fetch industry which is on the accounts board, how can I do this in my app using an easier way. I have used graphQL to get the data but its getting complicated as I dont have direct access to accounts and contacts of a particular item. Somehow I need to figure out the id of the accounts and contacts item to get the data. Let me know how this can be achieved in an easier way possible.

is there any code example showing how to create a custom object? all i can find is Custom objects i need a code example showing how to build an app that creates a custom object. also tried GitHub - yuhgto/mondaydotcom-code-examples: Some monday.com API code examples for developers working with our API with no luck. i want to combine data from multiple boards. i thought custom object would be the right tool for this.

I have found a condition with ... on MirrorValue which results in an Internal Server Error. It appears if the board contains an “orphan” mirror column. While normally if you delete a connect boards column, all connected mirror columns are deleted, it seems possible for them to not be deleted due to an error. The mirror column, via API still returns a settings_str that points to the deleted connect boards column, it also contains board-column mappings. The API user has access to the boards pointed to. My suspicion is that something isn’t getting cleaned up correctly under the hood as well. It doesn’t affect all items on the board. (Maybe it only affects items that were previously connected and there is some orphan connection, or the reverse, only those that were not previously connected?) for reference this is an accounts board in monday crm, so there could be special things happening nobody knows about. The board is also reporting 84% con

I’m new to monday.com app development and I have a question: is it possible to access monday’s native UI components via the SDK or another supported mechanism? For example, I want to create a helper board item menu app that retrieves information from the item on a board, opens the item card, and inserts this information (as a pre-formatted text) into the text field of a new Update. So far, I’ve been able to retrieve the information via the API and open the item card in the Update tab. Now I need to be able to insert the text in the new update text box.

I’m trying to publish a post to instagram with a post being a row/item in a Monday table. The way I’m starting the flow is by selecting my app (Board Menu Item Feature) from the item menu. Problem I’m running into is that I want to open up a modal with my app so I can go through the publishing workflow I have planned. I’m using the monday.execute(“openAppFeatureModal”, {…

Hi everyone! 👋 I’ve been working on a project where we needed to automatically create client folders in OneDrive whenever a new item is created in Monday.com. The goal was to structure the folders like this: Client Name / Deal / File / file.docx Everything was working great until we encountered two common edge cases: When a new item is created for an already existing client, and When multiple items have the same client name (which would cause folder duplication errors in OneDrive). To handle these scenarios smoothly, we implemented error handlers in Make.com. The logic was: Before creating a new folder, Make.com checks if a folder with t

Hi @basdebruin , I hope you’re doing well. I’m new to monday.com and currently working on a quickstart-fullstack-react-node app. I’m facing a couple of challenges related to authentication and integration setup, and I would appreciate your guidance. 1. App Signing Secret for Authentication To verify incoming requests from monday.com to my backend, I understand that I need to use the app’s signing secret. However, I’m unsure about: How to obtain the signing secret for each user or account using the app. How to securely store this secret

Goal: Trying to run mapps init to set up a new local project for monday Code. OS: macOS (Apple Silicon/darwin-arm64) Node Versions Used: Tried Node v22.14.0 and Node v20.19.0 (using nvm). CLI Version: @mondaycom/apps-cli/4.6.0 Problem:** When running mapps init inside the project directory, it prompts for the API token, successfully creates/updates ~/.config/mapps/.mappsrc, but then immediately exits. It never prompts to select an app to link or a template, and does not create the monday-code.json file. Troubleshooting Done: I’ve confirmed the directory is clean (ls -a), tried reinstalling the CLI (sudo npm uninstall/install), tried both Node v22 and v20, tried the --appId flag, and checked --verbose output (which showed no ex

I have seen alots of app in the monday apps marketplace that can be accessed via ✅ Board views ✅ Custom Objects ✅ Dashboard views ✅ Items Views. Now, I tried to build my own app that will be accessed via above 4 listed components. This is what I did: I went to my developer center, then I create an app. Then I click on create features button, then select object and finally create feature. as can be seen in the screenshot below

I need to build a datawarehouse for my customer. I want to know if there is an API to get data and if there is a data model to understand the Monday sources.

I wrote a python script to download and parse boards information from monday using ‘API-Version’ : ‘2024-01’. In this script i always used this general query: query {{ boards(ids: {board_id}) {{ items_count items_page(limit: {items}{cursor_part}) {{ cursor items {{ id name column_values {columns_part}{{ column {{ title }} type text value __typename …on MirrorValue{{ display_value }} … on BoardRelationValue{{ display_value }} }} }} }} }} }} ‘’’ And it have worked fine for more than a year. Note that with this query I can dinamically change number of items to extract, use pagination and also select columns if needed. But in default it brings the whole board with 500 items. Currently the issue is that if I try to return a board using limit=500 it will return the board informaiton but some Connected Boards info will return as null, even though I am using the diso

It will be a lot convenient if there was a way to trigger a recipe from board view itself or at least open the recipe page in a modal or anything that will link the board view to the recipe or automation center.

I am developing an integration feature and planning to upload my code to the Monday code server. I found the infrastructure specifications (attached screenshot), but I couldn’t find details about the maximum storage allocation for applications. Could anyone clarify the storage limit for Monday Code apps? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’ve been using the API (API-Version: 2024-01) to fetch board data for over a year. Recently, I’ve encountered an inconsistency where some Connected Boards information (specifically BoardRelationValue fields) returns as null when retrieving full boards, even though the data exists. Issue Details: The problem occurs when fetching large datasets (e.g., boards with 100 or more items). Some items correctly display connected board data, while others return empty values despite having valid data. This behavior persists in raw API responses, ruling out parsing errors. Troubleshooting Done: Confirmed affected items show correct data in Monday. Ran the query using a 100 item limit and used pagination to get all the data (this works fine). Verified the issue exists in direct API exports (ruling out pars

Hi, I’m currently using a free 14-day Monday.com subscription for development purposes. After the trial period ended, I noticed that query APIs still work fine, but mutation APIs (like creating items) return an “unauthorized” error. I have a few questions: Is there an API to retrieve the subscription expiry time or related status? I want to handle this gracefully by notifying users when their token has expired or lost permission for certain actions. Is it possible to use a free account for both queries and mutations after the 14-day trial? As a developer, creating new accounts every 14 days isn’t practical. Is there a way to continue development without needing to upgrade to a paid plan? Any advice on how to handle token expiration, permissions, or development workflows in this scenario would be grea

When creating a board from a template, the api will provide a response before all items from template have been added to the board. I am attempting to automate the creation of a board, and follow up with adding a few files to a particular item on the board. I’m having trouble with this task as the Id for the item I need to add files to is different for each board (as far as I know this is out of my control), and the item I need to add files to isn’t always included in the response from creating the board, or in a follow up request to get all items on the board. I am make these requests through c#, but I have verified that this is also the case through Postman to make sure I wasn’t making a mistake in my logic. Is there a way to make the request to create the board complete after ALL items have been added to the board to ensure I will always have the item ID needed to add files? Additional notes: I am making the request to create the board, then doi

I noticed that while there’s a built-in action to create an item, there doesn’t seem to be an option to update an existing item within native automations. In many use cases, it’s important to keep data synchronized—such as updating item fields when information changes in an external system or integration. Without a built-in “Update Item” action, this becomes difficult to achieve with native tools alone. Is there a reason this action isn’t included, or are there recommended workarounds for updating existing items through Monday automations or integrations? Thanks in advance!

I have this query that works query { next_items_page( cursor: "Removed Cursor For Privacy" limit: 167 ) { cursor items { name id column_values { ... on FormulaValue { display_value } ... on TextValue { text } ... on PeopleValue { text } ... on DropdownValue { text } ... on NumbersValue { number } ... on PersonValue { text } ... on DateValue { date } ... on BoardRelationValue { display_value } ... on MirrorValue { display_value } ... on StatusValue { label } ... on LocationValue { text } ... on PhoneValue { text } ... on EmailValue { text } } } } }

Attempting to get an item’s updates via GraphQL has broken with the rollout of version 2024-10. This query would work on version 2024-07, but now does not work. Please try it on the API Playground: query { items(ids: [itemIdHere]) { name updates(limit: 40) { creator { name } } } } This same query works fine even with about 190 columns on a board: query { items(ids: [itemIdHere]) { name column_values { id value text type } } } For the first query, lowering the update limit to something like 20 or 25 causes the query to execute properly. Previously in version 2024-07, you could request something very large like 300 updates in one request and it would run just fine. Why has this functionality been changed? What is the proper process for getting all updates from an item now?

Hi, Since yesterday, all of my webhooks that were previously working fine are now returning errors. Every request involving a connected board or connected column is now returning null for all values. This issue has completely broken my app, webhooks, and automations. Do you have any information about what’s going on and when this issue is expected to be fixed? Best regards,

API stopped returning “value” field for “board_relation” columns Our code depends on these values. Change happened recently but I cannot tell when exactly. I have reported this issue to Monday.com on Thursday afternoon. We have not heart anything back since then besides “we’ve escalated the issue.” We are desperate for a fix, all development has been entirely halted until we can get this issue resolved. Can someone help!? This renders our app unusable for all customers. Example: query { boards(ids:

I want to return two column values (not just one). This code get’s me one column value for ship_date but I cannot figure out how to get another column like text4. items { id name column_values (ids: “ship_date” ) { id value } the above works but the following does not: items { id name column_values (ids: “ship_date” “text4” ) { id value }

I have this piece of GQL that used to work since the introduction of 2023-10 however it stopped working a week ago. I noticed that the this way did not change on 2024-11. {query: boards(ids: xxxxx) { name items_page( limit: 10 query_params: {rules: [{column_id: “mirror5”, compare_value: [0], operator: greater_than}], operator: and} ) { cursor items {… the error I am getting is: { “error_message”: “This column type is not supported yet in the API”, “error_code”: “InvalidColumnTypeException”, “error_data”: { “column_id”: null, “actual_type”: “lookup” }, “status_code”: 200, “account_id”: xxxx } similar erro happens if I use 2024-10 { “errors”: [ { “message”: “This column type is not supported yet in the API”, “locations”: [ { “line”: 1, “column”: 38 } ], “path”: [ “query”, 0, “items_page” ], “extensions”: { “code”: “InvalidColumnT
