API & Apps framework

Today I was going through Webhook docs for App Events , and In There code Snippet It need to be MY_CLIENT_SECRET. May be just small typo error.

What are the criteria for an integration column to be created form a custom action trigger. As an example when using the google calendar integration, when a link it created updates the items integration column with a link to the created event. As far as I can determine there are some rules that need to be met for this column to exist but those do not seem to be documented anywhere

I am able to create an item without trouble if I do not reference the item files column and I get back the new item ID and save that for future use. I have the URL to an image, fully qualified, as in https://cdn.mysource.com/foo.jpg The board has a column of type file with an ID files and therefore I want this image to be assigned to it. No matter what I do though, Monday returns {"error_message"=>"Internal server error", "status_code"=>500} When I include the column with the image, files: image, the image string URL the create fails. Why??? I tried the mutation with the item_id and column_id and providing the id of the items file column, same deal. mutation($item_id: Int!, $file: File!) { add_file_to_column (item_id: $item_id, column_id: "files", file: $file) { id } } How can I create an item with an image using Monday API? What is the secret? Please!

Hi All, I’m using monday API documentation, Items Page to filter results the data from specific date range. But I found the maximum number of items to return is 100. I would like the query can return more than 100 items with filtering function. Could anyone suggest it? Thanks very much in advance:) Best Regards, Jia Tang

Hi, Do we have a API in Monday.com to create a Customer or Contact in Monday.Com CRM? Please share the API link Thanks

Hello, there! I was looking for a solution on how to receive events about sub-item changes in the parent context, and found this closed topic. A small quote for a broader context monday.listen(“events”) not quite working with subitems. I’m sure dev team aware of it, just wanted to have some roadmap or estimation, when it will work? Currently, there is no event when the subitem is updated. And when new subitem has been added the generated “event” is for the parent item update, with all subitems, so it’s impossible (afaik) to detect actual new subitem. Do monday team have any updates or workarounds to solve this problem? Best regards, Dima

Hi, I can’t find this filter feature in our own developed Custom Dashboard Widget. May I know is this feature available in Custom Dashboard widget? Thanks Br, YH

Greetings community. I am developing a widget and in its configuration window I have a dropdown list type field to which I must add options dynamically, this through the SDK. Thanks in advance.

I want to send the file as base64 in the API I know that I have to use https://api.monday.com/v2/file to send a file, and I uploaded a photo from my system in postman as a test. But I want to send the file as base64 with any extension such as csv, xlsx, xls, doc, pdf, etc. Thank you for telling me what to put in postman instead of the image key pay attention to the image below

What is the recommended way to determine when to delete personal data for an account to be in compliance with the Developer Terms (see bullet point four here: Security and privacy)? Would querying the App Subscription via the API be sufficient? Here’s how I could see how the logic might work: If there is an active subscription, then the data wouldn’t be deleted. If there is not an active subscription or the API request fails due to authentication issues, then the personal data for the account should be deleted within 10 days. Another way I could think of it working is via the app events webhook, though that seems less reliable in case a webhook is missed by my server.

We recently released 3 new monday.storage SDK methods that allow you to maintain storage across each application, rather than each instance. With the new methods, the storage is not tied to a specific instance so it does not reset between major versions. monday.storage.getItem(key) monday.storage.setItem(key, value) monday.storage.deleteItem(key) Please note that with global-level storage, developers are the ones responsible for managing how items are stored on the client side - not monday.

Is there a way to decide which api to use when calling the GraphQL endpoint with monday.api()?

I am using the GraphQL query to update the group name. It didn’t seem to be updating the name based on group ID. referencing : Groups Any suggestions on how can I achieve this ? best, Shamika

Hey all, I’ve read in the documents that we are able to pull from formula fields. When I try to pull them, they are coming back as null and an empty string. Looking at the column on the board, it should be coming back as “100%”. This is a long calculation that will take a bit of time to calculate in C#. Is there something I’m doing wrong? query: query {boards (ids: BoardID){items (page:1, limit: 250) {name id column_values(ids:“formula3”){id value text}}}} Returns: “column_values”: [ { “id”: “formula3”, “value”: null, “text”: “” } ] Reading the formula column You can query the formula column using the column_values object. The object has different fields based on which API version you are using. Column values v2 fields will be available in API versions 2023-10 and later, while column values v1 fields are only supported in versions 2023-07 and 2023-04.

hi there, I have a question for the community, sorry if it is very specific, but I have already tried all the alternatives. I want to update a column in monday from make.com with a GraphQL query, it uses a value of type array with several elements inside. the query results in something like this: here as the static elements: mutation{ change_multiple_column_values(board_id:2664704591, item_id:4836020925, column_values: “{“connect_boards6” : {“item_ids” :[ 3250783898, 3251460971, 3250782023, 47898 50971, 4843089473, 4870951353, 4870986814, 4870992498, 4871015792, 4871031386, 4871037787, 4871188497, 4871860559, 4871862099, 4872167581, 4872170055, 4872203429]}}” ) { id } } and here with the dynamic elements: mutation{ change_multiple_column_values(board_id:2664704591, item_id:4836020925, column_values: “{“connect_boards6” : {“item_ids” :[ text]}}” ) { id } } being text the array with the data. The error is that when you did it with the static values, the query is executed successfully. Wi

Hi, sorry for the basic questions but programming with an API is something I haven’t done before with Monday. We have an external client that we have given access to a board. They want to access certain data on the board via API. Couple of questions: how can I restrict the API from only accessing a specific board? I dont want them to see anything except this board. Outside of giving them my API key, do I have to create a user for this? can i restrict view only for this? As f now, i dont want them to have the ability to update the board. Maybe later on. to allow this external company API access, outside of giving them a key, is there any programming on my end? Better yet, what is the basic setup I need to do? I have a call into support but I figured I would try here and get better answers! Thanks so much!

Hello, for a while already I struggle with the following: We use boards created from templates for all our customers. So everytime we get a new customers, two boards are automatically generated from this template. Now every now and then I need to roll out new functions like new automations or add a new column to each of these boards. Is there any option to create a master? I checked the options via creating an App, sending get and post requests via a webhook and now my last idea was to use a loop by zapier including a post webhook to trigger a second zap that adapts each board. Is there anybody who has experience with an equal situation?

Does anyone know what app function I should use if I already have my code in javascript? What my code does is make queries to my board and from them update information on my board.

I’ve been trying to query the API to get a list of Activity Logs for a particular board. No matter which board I query I always get an empty string returned in “activity_logs” Query: {boards (ids: XXXX) {name activity_logs (limit:10) {id event data}}} Return: { "data": { "boards": [ { "name": "XXX", "activity_logs": [] } ] }, "account_id": XXXX } Am I missing something?

Related post from 2020 The documentation for sessionToken from monday-sdk-js states that the sessionToken is signed with your app secret when it is actually signed with client secret

Using the following code I get the value of null returned any idea why. I have the correct token which isn’t shown here for security reasons. $apiUrl = ‘https://api.monday.com/v2’; $headers = [‘Content-Type: application/json’, 'Authorization: ’ . $token]; //var_dump($headers); //print""; $query = ‘{ boards { id name } }’; $data = @file_get_contents($apiUrl, false, stream_context_create([ ‘http’ => [ ‘method’ => ‘POST’, ‘header’ => $headers, ‘content’ => json_encode([‘query’ => $query]), ] ])); $responseContent = json_decode($data, true); var_dump($responseContent);

Hi All! I need your help. I’m new to Monday. Let me explain, I have a form on Wordpress which, once filled in by customers, sends me an e-mail with the various information inside. Name First name Country Questions I’d like to be able to retrieve the data in the e-mail, associated with each heading, and automatically place them in a Board Monday. Could you help me or give me some tips on how to set this up? Thank you very much 🙂

Hi monday team, I trying to open plan selection with monday.execute('openPlanSelection', {}); and I’m getting and error execute command isn't available or supported for this app feature type. Previously when I was testing this after calling execute method plan selection page was opening. I need to add I’m testing this on development version of the app.

Hi there, we have developed an ETL pipeline for data from a Monday.com board. We have made use of pagination and back-off/retry factors, and when the API decides to return parseable JSON, then the rest of the pipeline succeeds, but what is the reason for the API just not returning parseable JSON 4 in every 5 times? Its understandable that the response may be slow if traffic is high/connection is slow, but what’s the point of a response that isn’t usable or appropriately formatted? The API is not reliable enough to return properly formatted JSON and that’s a huge problem, as nothing can be developed around the response if its not consistent in format, and at the least parseable as the object its meant to be. This is really not acceptable

Hello, When importing an excel file manually to Monday, there is a cool feature that allows us to prevent any duplicates (‘Ignore the elements’ on a specific column). I’m trying to reproduce this with the API. What is the best way to do it? Right now the only way I’ve found is : 1 - Query for every item of the board and the value of the choosen column : query{ boards(ids: board_id){ items(){ name, column_values(ids:["column_id"]) { value } } } } 2 - Store every column value in my program. 3 - When sending the queries to create all the items, first check if the column value of the item that is about to be imported already exists in my stored column values, if it does the query is not sent. I guess this solution will work but Im a bit worried about how heavy querying for every items could be considering my program would do that on multiple boards that can have above 5000 items. Is there any better way to do this? Thanks for your help 😀
