API & Apps framework

Hi devs and monday support. We have noticed that, despite what is written in documentation, often the items_by_column_values query doesn’t return a match even if we wait 30 seconds after the insertion of a new item. Sometimes we get a match after 3 minutes. How can we improve/fix this behavior? Thanks for your support.

Has anyone had such a case where they had to make a copy of an element and place it as a subitem to another element? Maybe someone has a query for this case, I will be grateful. Of course, if this is not possible, I will be grateful for an answer. The second question is - is it possible to add elements via the API as mirrored fields?

I’ve created an internal React app for my company’s account with Monday.com. It’s an item view that displays data from Monday in an organized way that we like to see it displayed. What is the proper way for my React app to gain authentication? I don’t think it’s advised that I use my personal API key when this view could be used by 30 or 40 people. Is OAuth necessary here? Is there something else I should be doing in regards to authentication? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I am attempting to build an integration service with a custom action that is resolved by a cloud hosted endpoint. Unfortunately, I am unable to retrieve the “payload” object in the request body, as it is outlined in the Custom Action documentation. Here is my current implementation:

Hello all! I’ve been tasked to develop something that displays how many unread Monday notifications a user has, but display it in our company intranet when they login. We all assumed there would be a “get notifications for user” endpoint or something similar but I can’t seem to find one. Any ideas on how to best handle this approach? We’d be ok with small tweaks to the idea too like number of open assignments or something instead of notifications specifically. Thanks!

Hey, Im running axios call (in nodeJS) service from my local host to Monday API. but I get - “self signed certificate in certificate chain”/ Searched the web a bit, and saw I can skip it by adding this (Only for debug purpose) “process.env.NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED = “0”;”. But then I get a new error: “socket hang up”. Is there a way you can point me to do something to allow me running queries to Monday in order to be able to debug my code? Through postman, I do mange making calls, and I guess the reason is its creates some self sign certificate. How do I do that? Thanks for the helper!

Create a new board from a template by this API , will return 1 or 0 item and wrong item_count. Then read the board immediately by this API, will get all items and correct item_count. Create board API endpoint is supposed to return all items as Read Board API. This is example:

Got a problem based on that part of the documentation monday.listen I try to get information about changes I make via openItemCard and get no response, no console.log. Can someone show me working sample how to use that listener?

Previously you were able to add Screenful as a board view, connected to a specific board. Now we’ve added a custom object that allows you to add a link to the left menu so that you are not limited to viewing charts & reports in the context of any individual board. What is a custom object and what is it good for? Learn more from our blog post

Create board if folder_id doesn’t exist or workspace_id doesn’t match folder_id, will return 500 Internal Server Error as below: Q1: Why doesn’t it return 400 Bad Request or 404 Not Found error? When return 500, it’s impossible to know it’s user error or server error. Q2: do you h

I know there are groups and custom permissions that users can handle but is there another way to manage permissions something I didn’t notice in the documentation? Also through API, I can see groups like is_guest and is_admin. Suppose the user creates a custom permissions group. Will I be able to handle that through API?

We’ve all probably heard of SVB’s shutting down a couple of days ago. This is so unfortunate given that so many startups and VCs bank with SVB and may face liquidity problems trying to access their funds. We’re lucky not to have any account with SVB, but like any other company we need to understand how exposed are our partners, including monday.com. Is monday.com exposed directly or indirectly to SVB? Will monday.com be able to continue making payouts to app developers as usual?

I have found Quickstart guide - tried following it, cannot get it to work. Then I found Creating new Item View which referred to a “Quickstart board view github page” https://github.com/mondaycom/welcome-apps/tree/master/apps/quickstart-react - which I tried following as well, and I cannot get it to work either. I really hate documentation not working and having to waste time on writing posts like this, but I’ll lay out my steps here - and hopefully someone will tell me what is wrong. I’m trying this on Ubuntu 20.04, I have installed node via: curl -fsSL https://deb.no

Has anyone managed to use the monday-sdk-js in the Account Settings View. I am getting the following error when trying to perform api calls: The same call succeeds in an Item View

Hi, I have custom trigger: [When subitem created] that will create webhook [create_subitem] and custom action: [Create an item (item mapping field) in board and…] Then I created a recipe [When subitem created, create an item in board and…] When I create a subitem, it run into the trigger, then post to “https://api-gw.monday.com/automations/apps-events/{subscriptionId}” but it is not run into the custom action (create an item in board and…) I tried my custom action with built-in trigger like: [When column changes, create an item in board and…], it works very well. I tried a lot of options, but can’t seem to get it right. Thanks in advance for the help. If anything needs clarification, please let me know.

I would like something like what is described here Possible to set up a running task (task with start, but no end date)? - and seeing that I cannot find existing monday.com functionality to implement that, I thought of trying to build a monday app. So, essentially, I basically just want to extend/subclass the Timeline type of column, so that it can be made into a “running task”, e.g. something like this: So, I’d rather “start” from Timeline as a “base class” somehow, then just extend or “subclass” it. But is that possible in monday apps? For instance, I c

I was trying to follow Quickstart guide while experimenting, and I ended up with this in the sidebar: Good - so I have a feature, “New App - Item View”. How can I delete/remove this feature, while keeping the app?

Hi, I am testing the Monday.com API endpoint using a developer account. I encountered the 429 error. I have a few questions about this. { "error_code": "ComplexityException", "status_code": 429, "error_message": "Complexity budget exhausted, query cost 325385 budget remaining 23845 out of 1000000 reset in 20 seconds", "error_data": {}, "errors": [ "Complexity budget exhausted, query cost 325385 budget remaining 23845 out of 1000000 reset in 20 seconds" ], "account_id": 14649038 } What’s the complexity limit for developer account? 1M or 10M? I found developer account limit was upgraded to 10M in the community announcement, but I can only see 1M during my testing. What does “budget remaining” in the error_message mean? According to my understanding, remaining budget means I haven’t reached the complexity limit, then why it rai

Hi Team, I’m new to monday.com so need your help on the below, I’m trying to find the server status through node.js and update the status in monday.com , could see result column updated but when i checked on monday.com board no changes.

An issue with a strange value in column which type is date occurred when adding an item using the mutation query. Using Tool : Postman Using Query mutation { create_item (board_id: ${board_id}, group_id: ${group_id}, item_name: ${item_name}, column_values: "{"date4":{"date":"2023-03-03"}}") { id } } expected : Item which has 2023-03-03 date value result : Item which has 2022/08/07 date value I tried 10 times. I confirmed that issue occured once out of 10 times. Please answer me why this issue has occured and how can i fix this issue.

I include a url into an update and it is displayed in full and works fine. But I want to choose the displayed text, instead of showing the full url. How can I do this?

With mutation { create_update (item_id: ${itemId}, body: "${body}") { id } }`; I post an update. But the displayed author of this update is not taken from the user_id, nor from the app itself, but apparently from the one who installed the app. Is this something an app can change?

Hi team, happy to join. I want to listen to context change in the boards with the monday SDK function - monday.listen(“context”,…). I have two questions regard this: Can I decide what boards the context listen function will be applied to? for example if I’m creating a custom object with React, and I’m use the monday.listen(“context”) function, it will be triggered for the context changes in all of the boards? Can I do monday.execute from specific board view application or custom object application, to other boards? or the monday SDK scope is relevant just for the board which the board view app was added to? Thanks in advnaced!

hello everyone, I am getting “Cannot read property ‘map’ of undefined” when trying to create an item in monday.com keep in mind, board is set to private, I have tried my admin user level API key and also organization key, neither are working. please check my loom video for more details.

I’m trying to build my first Monday.com app, but I feel like some of the documentation is sorely lacking (or at least, the existence of a few example projects). I found the Quickstart board view github page here, but there are a couple things even the preview image on that page does different than the actual code. The image shows information about items in the board and being able to change the background color, but I can’t find anything in the code that pulls in that information or handles the changing of the background color. Anyway, my main issue is that right now I’m just trying to create a simple new view for an item. For instance: click on item on board, select my new view, and see information about that item displayed (ie. item name, maybe the value of a status column or something).
