API & Apps framework

Good day, I am developing a custom application in React. Ideally, to be used as a board view. The issue I am having is that, while the custom board view renders and works fine on PC, I get met with: This feature is currently unavailable on mobile. Please go to desktop to use it. However, using the exact same, identical code as a dashboard widget instead of a board view, allows for the app/feature to be used on mobile (testing done with the most recent version of the Monday app on iOS 16.6.1). This is not ideal, as using a widget for my application feels clunky, and the scrolling is not intuitive. I was wondering if there are certain features that may restrict my application from being used as a board view, or if this is just the case with all React apps. Any advice/info would be appreciated. Thanks, Liam

Hi everyone,Recently, I’ve been experiencing an issue with my monday app when creating a new version.ProblemWhen I click Create Version, the system often shows an error message, so it looks like the version creation has failed.However, after waiting around 5–10 minutes, I notice that the new version is actually created successfully.Why this is a problemBecause the update is delayed and the UI shows an error, it’s very hard to know whether the version creation really failed or is just being processed slowly.As a result, I sometimes click Create Version multiple times, and this ends up creating several duplicate versions with the same name.Additional infoI’ve attached screenshots to help illustrate the issue.Has anyone experienced something similar, or is this a known issue on monday’s side?Thanks!  

I have an automation block (well, actually several of course). It can be triggered fromA workflow An automation Within Sidekick AII want to track usage so that I can assess how my app is being used.How can I tell where the block was triggered from? How can I tell which of the above use cases is the most popular?  Can the payload in the block be used to differentiate where it was triggered from? If not, why not? Make it so pleeeeease.

Hi everyone,We're running into an error when calling the create_item mutation that doesn't appear to be documented in the official Error Handling page, and we'd like to confirm our understanding of it.The errorWhen our app creates an item via create_item, we occasionally receive the following error response:{ "data": { "create_item": null }, "errors": [ { "message": "data_validation_error", "locations": [{ "line": 1, "column": 82 }], "path": ["create_item"], "extensions": { "code": "DATA_VALIDATIONS_ERROR", "status_code": 422, "error_data": [ { "itemId": null, "columnIds": ["color_mm145dc6"], "message": "'Category' is required" } ], "service": "monolith" } } ]}What we think is happeningBased on the error_data, our assumption is that this error occurs because the target board has a Status column ("Category") marked as required, and our create_item mutation is not p

Struggling to implement the new automation blocks → automation template. End result is I want users to be able to make an automation like “When {start_date} or {end_date} changes, update {timeline}.”I’ve set up two automation blocks. One trigger with sentence “When {Start Date} or {End Date} changes,”. One action with sentence “update {timeline}” (screenshot attached of inputs and outputs for both)I then try to add “Automation Template” feature to connect the two. But my automation blocks are not selectable from dropdown lists inside Automation Template setup. What am I doing wrong?Automation template setup - can’t see trigger or action in available options? Trigger setupAction setup 

Hello, I would like to understand the output fields that are available for all automation triggers. Including pre-defined Monday triggers.  There does not appear to be a tool in the UI, not in the automation runtime view, in the sentence creation or in the app development UI. Is there an API I can call that will provide me the outputs for a trigger.  Say, for example: “When a status-column changes to X” Do I get the boardId, itemId, status-column and status-column-values? Where is this defined? How do examine the output field schema? CheersJem 

Hi everyone,I’m currently building an app using Vibe AI in monday.com and I have a question about connecting additional boards.When creating the app initially, I understand that we can connect up to 5 boards during the setup stage. However, my app is already in progress and I now need to connect another board to it.The problem is that I cannot find any option to do this. I have looked everywhere but there is no “+ Add Board” or “Connect Board” button in the app settings or interface.My question is:Is it possible to add another board after the Vibe app has already been created?If yes, where can I find the option to connect an additional board?Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello! Following the API deprecation we ran into a few breaking changes - I believe I’ve resolved most of these now but there’s one I don’t seem to be able to find a solution for so was looking to see if I’m (hopefully) missing something obvious, or if there’s a different way around this.Previously on the old API as part of our query we received changed_at for certain column types as part of the value field within column_values for items. This now always returns null for the subtask column, as documented with the change, but the documentation advises using fragments to return the missing fields, showing the board_relation type and linked_items with name and updated_at as an example (https://developer.monday.com/api-reference/changelog/value-field-now-returns-null-on-connect-boards-dependency-and-subtasks-columns).I’ve tried to replicate this with SubtasksValue instead, but nothing seems to be an accepted field. I can get the updated_at field at the item level, and then at the subitem l

Hi,I created and use a credential app in my workflows. The user has to provide the credentials (on-promise). When I connect to the oauth server, it works up to the provider unique identifier. It calls my endpoint, I return a JSON as described. But after that, I can not use the Credential feature. I have to start from the beginning. What is missing to complete the process?Thanks and best regards, Marcus

Hi,I’m using the new Credentials app feature (under Build → Features → Credentials, not the legacy credentials field) to authenticate with a third‑party service in monday workflows. Behavior I’m seeing: User installs the app and connects an account via the Credentials feature. User then uninstalls the app. Later, the same user reinstalls the app. When they go to connect again, they still see the old credentials available to select, which makes it look like we didn’t delete anything on uninstall. From the docs, I understand that: Credentials are securely stored and scoped to the app, and can be reused across workflow features. Privacy & security requirements say that when an app is de‑authorized/uninstalled, app data should be deleted within 10 days unless there is explicit consent to retain it. However, I couldn’t find any documentation that explains: Whether credentials created via the Credentials app feature are supposed to persist across uninstall/reinstall. Whether the

SDK SDK SDK. So many SDKs!

Hi everyone,I'm encountering a persistent quota issue while trying to deploy a new server-side app to monday code.The Issue: When running mapps code:push -i <APP_ID>, the build succeeds but the deployment fails with: ✖ You've reached the maximum allowed number of apps connected to monday-code.Context: I am working on an Organization account. I previously had few private test apps. Some were using Client-side hosting, and I was attempting to set up this new one on Server-side (monday code). I am aware of the 5-app limit for private apps on monday code. Steps Taken to Resolve: App Cleanup: I have already deleted the previous private test apps that were using the hosting slots. Disconnecting: I searched for a manual "Disconnect" option in the Developer Center but found only the "Delete" option for these apps. Verification: Despite having fewer than 5 active apps in my Developer Center, the CLI still reports that the maximum number has been reached. Question: Does deleting an

 In the example above, the contact, Sam Jones <sam@apple.com> has emailed someone. The avatar and heading are for Sam.If I was to add an activity on the contact’s behalf, I’d want to add the contact’s avatar & name rather than my own (which is what would happen by default).Is there a way to add that the Contact as the person who performed the activity rather than the person who added it using the API?So far, this seems to be a limitation of the create_timeline_item mutation. Dev Sidekick says:Looking at the available arguments for create_timeline_item, there is no parameter to specify a different user as the activity performer. The mutation's arguments are:item_id, custom_activity_id, title, timestamp (required) content, summary, time_range, url, phone, location (optional)[create_timeline_item]None of these allow you to attribute the activity to a specific contact or user other than the API caller. The knowledge sources do not mention any way to override the author/performer

Hello,In order to report an action block result, the documentation mentions:“This JWT is then sent in the Authorization header as a Bearer token. It should include your appId in the payload.”While the example shows no mention of “Bearer”:# The `callbackUrl` received from monday in the initial POST request bodyPOST https://callback-to-monday.com/callbacks/12345678 HTTP/1.1Content-Type: application/jsonAuthorization: <SIGNED_JWT_TOKEN>The example is the way to go. A token sent as Bearer will not work.Thank you,

I’m trying to create a dynamic field mapping for my automations/workflows using object fields.While I’m able to list the fields correctly, all of them are flagged as required, which doesn’t match my expectations. In the payload, the fields are marked as nullable (as described in the documentation):body = { name: { title: 'User name', type: 'primitive', primitiveType: 'string', isNullable: true, isArray: true, }, email: { title: 'Email', type: 'primitive', primitiveType: 'string', isNullable: true, isArray: false, },}; Is the documenation outdated, the code wrong or is there a bug?

Hey,Is anyone currently able to register create_subitem webhooks via the API? I’ve started getting 5xx errors — this was working fine earlier. 

HI, I am using the API version 2024-01 and since recently the value field returns null on connect boards.As an example  { boards(ids: my-id) { items_page(limit: 1) { items { column_values (ids: "boards_verbinden__1") { id type value text } } } }}returns{ "data": { "boards": [ { "items_page": { "items": [ { "column_values": [ { "id": "boards_verbinden__1", "type": "board_relation", "value": null, "text": null } ] } ] } } ] }, "extensions": { "request_id": "aea63278-8d4a-9aa6-a460-25fc93191820" }} I also tried with API version 2025-01 and get the same result. What is the reason for this?Any support on this is highly appreciated!

Hi,due to migration of my app to workflows I try to use the credential feature to initiate OAuth to a Mattermost server. Unfortunately, Mattermost only accepts a length of 1024 characters for the state field. The state that the credential feature sends is about 1152 character long and so the request is rejected. Is there a chance to set a limit of the state field in the feature?Thanks and best regards, Marcus

Hi everyone,I’m working on an integration where, when a user triggers an API action, my app fetches data from a third-party service and updates multiple columns on a Monday board.The main challenge I’m facing is how to handle column IDs in a clean and scalable way.Currently: I usually rely on column fields in the recipe to get the columnId, which works fine. However, when I need to update many columns (for example 5–10 columns), adding that many column fields makes the recipe sentence very long and not clean. I tried using item values, but they only return the columnId without any clear reference to which column it belongs to. If I use dynamic mapping, I lose access to the actual columnId, which my integration logic still needs. So my question is:Is there any way in Monday to pass multiple columns at once — including both the columnId and some kind of alias / logical name — so that the integration app can handle column updates more easily?I’m looking for a pattern or best practic

Hi there!The docs recommend using change_multiple_column_values when possible but never mention how it reduces complexity cost and by how much.Let’s put the question this way: If we use change_simple_column_value to change 1 column it costs 30k complexity points. So 10 column changes = 300k.Is it that if we use change_multiple_column_values all of 10 changes at once costs only 30k? How does this get calculated?

Hello,I am currently building an automation app for monday.com that allows users to automate workflows within their boards.So far, I have successfully completed authentication and all other required setup. I have also built several custom views and implemented the Integration Sentence Builder feature. The recipe sentence automation builder is working well overall.However, I am currently stuck while building a dynamic recipe sentence UI inside the Integration Sentence Builder. I have already posted in the community and sent an email to monday.com support, but I have not received a response yet. That’s why I’m writing with a detailed explanation of what I’m trying to achieve and where I’m facing difficulties.What I want to buildI want to create a recipe sentence like:When {status} changes to {something}, send {template name} {dynamically loaded inputs based on the template} from {WhatsApp account number} to {phone column of the board}.Here’s what is already working: I can dynamically loa

Hi everyone!I’ve been experimenting with the change_multiple_column_values mutation to update the Files Column with external links (like Google Drive). While the documentation currently lists this as unsupported for this specific mutation, I found that it actually works—with one major catch regarding fileId. The MethodI am using the following mutation:mutation updateFileLink ($columnValues: JSON!) { change_multiple_column_values( item_id: "my_item_id", board_id: "my_board_id", column_values: $columnValues ) { id }}With this JSON as columnValues variable:{ "file_column_id": { "files": [ { "fileId": "file1_id", "fileType": "GOOGLE_DRIVE", "linkToFile": "https://drive.google.com/...", "name": "file1.pdf" } ] }}The Issue: The fileId DependencyThe mutation is successful and the link appears perfectly in the WebUI.
