API & Apps framework

I’ve only ever dealt with OAuth using things like Google, Facebook, and Twitter and they offer extremely easy to use tools. Doing OAuth with Monday is the first time I actually have to use my own brain, which is fine but I may get it wrong and mess up security. It seems simple enough to send the user to the monday.com server, grab the code from the url parameters when the user comes back, and finally ask for the token using the code and my client secret. Is that all there is to it? I do understand this needs to happen on a server and not in the user’s browser so that the client secret stays secret. I’ve asked around somewhere else and passport.js was recommended, however they don’t have a monday.com recipe. I’m hesitant to jump into a library for this if it’s not going to hold my hand because I don’t really know what it’s supposed to be doing. Is there anything I need to consider before doing this myself or do I have it right?

Hi, I created an private app using the “Workspaces Templates”. This app allows my colleagues to create a main board, dashbaords + monday docs. The next step, will be for the app to be automatically launch this app using an automation. For example, in a main board, if my colleague select the status X in the column Y, then launch my private monday app so a new board / dashboards … will be automatically created. Is there a way to do that (or a workaround) ? Thank you very much for your help Jérémie

Hello, First of all, sorry if there is a topic, I searched and did not find one. Here is my problem: I have created a Monday application in javascript and I am using monday-sdk-js to communicate with the Monday API. On my application, I have a board view with parameters to configure. I have a “columns” field to choose the fields to display on my view and a “column” field that has nothing to do with the other field. When I use monday-sdk-js to retrieve the parameters from my application, I get the data without any problem: { "columnsToDisplay": { "all": false, "name": false, "person": true, "status": false, "date": true, "date4": false, "statut_11": false }, "columnDate": { "date": true } } As you can see from the API return and the image, the data is not consistent, only the person field should be true for columnsToDisplay but the other column field, columnDate, acts on the first one. Is this behavior int

I am updating a board with items where I need to pass a date value to a date column. It keeps coming with parsing errors when reaching the column_values part of the query. I’ve gotten different parsing errors depending on where I escape and where I put quotes. som errors even generate a full html page for a technical issue page in monday. Here is my code: headers = {"Authorization" : apiKey, "Content-Type": "application/json"} date = value[9:19] query3 = '''mutation {create_item (board_id: 1135506612, group_id: "topics", item_name: "Finished W&D", column_values: "{\\"date1\\" : \\"%s\\"}") {id}}''' % (f'{date}') data3 = {'query' : query3} r3 = requests.post(url=apiUrl, json=data3, headers=headers) response = r3.json() The weird thing is, that when I post this into the playground, it creates a new item with the date. mutation {create_item (board_id: 1135506612, group_id: "topics", item_name: "Finished W&D", column_values: "{\\"date1\\" : \\"2023-01-01\\"}") {id

Hi, Since about 30 minutes, the new app feature upload fails. Could you help me please ? Thanks.

I’m trying to build a recipe that carries out a custom action and then can also update an item column value based on the result of that action. For example, if there is a status column value of ‘pending’ for an item and the custom action returns a 200, then I want to change that status to ‘success’. If it returns anything else, then I want to change that status to ‘error’. Is this possible?

Hello I am trying to get the column titels of of my subitems. I know you can get the column names for your board via: columns { title } But for subitems i can only get the value, name (only gives the content as text not the column title) and id. Am I missing something?

I’m trying to put new data into monday boards (quotes and accounts) through API, through make (integromat), On create new item on board, it always show “now” on created date column although I have different dates for that column. How to manage this?

Is it possible to query for complexity while also using add_file_to_column? I see the complexity query is possible with mutations according to the documentation here:monday API docs My query looks like this, however I’m getting error 400 “Bad Request” back from server. mutation { complexity{ query before after } add_file_to_column (item_id: ${itemID}, column_id:'files', $file: file!) {id}}

Hi all! I`m trying to build an integration recipe (custom action) which uses a column from another board. I know this is possible since built-in recipes (like connect boards) use this already. I see that in workflow blocks definition, you can add an input fields which is a ‘linkage column’. However, this field is not configurable in the Recipe editor (i.e. I cannot set its dependency). Hence, whenever I try to use my recipe with linkage column in it, I always get ‘select bord first’. It seems that the only way I can achieve this is by using dynamic item mapping. If so, how would you do this ? Can I return the possible column Ids in the dynamic item mapping definition ? I would prefer to use the built in linkage column, how can I do this ?

Hi, I’m attempting to add a message in the conversation of an item when I’m creating a new item, as if: I want to populate this field, of a specific item id. I have been struggling with this for quite some time, anyone has an example for such a mutation? Regards!

Hello ! Currently, I am using n8n. I used to use Make.com before. I need to create a bot that is triggered instantly by, let’s say, a status change or a column change. monday API docs I am checking out everywhere in here, can you please show me on which page I can see this trigger? Like, to listen for events. Thank you.

I am trying to build a custom app. In which I want to add a field that can give me option to select multiple value in recipe, Its should be list or checkbox that I can be able to select(ex: list can contain sunday, monday, tuesday…),

I am using the API to update a Connect Board Column. In some cases the update is done correctly, but sometimes I get the following response: {‘error_code’: ‘ColumnValueException’, ‘status_code’: 200, ‘error_message’: ‘Value exceeded max value for column’, ‘error_data’: {}} The query that I have is: mutation { change_multiple_column_values(item_id: 1052421930, board_id:1052376936, column_values: “{"board_relation4" : {"item_ids" : [3599419724,3599419588,3599419564,3599419731,3599419447,3599419761,3599419460,3599419747,3599419654,3599419519,3599419792]}}”) { id } } How can I solve this issue?

I’ve had success in creating new items on the board that I want from my Google apps script, but where I run into trouble is in the column_value part. Can’t quite seem to track down where I’m going wrong. function myNewItem(){ var baseURL = “https://api.monday.com/v2” var mondayApiToken = “mondayToken” var query = mutation newItem { create_item(board_id: 2942342848, group_id: "new_group85282", item_name: "test2", column_values: "{\\"edit_request\\" : \\"New text\\"}"){ id } } var headers = { “Authorization”: mondayApiToken, “Content-Type”: “application/json” } var options = { headers: headers, method: "Post", payload: JSON.stringify({ query: query }) } var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(baseURL, options).getContentText() var result = JSON.parse(response) console.log(“result:”, result.data) }

Hi I’d like to set an item’s cell (of type FILE) with an existing asset. The asset already exists in Monday (it has already been uploaded in advance) and has an asset ID and a public URL. How can I copy / link the existing asset ID from an existing row to another board’ item cell? It’s important to note that I have large video files and I do not wish to re-upload the files - but instead to use the existing asset (which has already been uploaded in the past) and link it to some other board’s item cell. Thanks in advance

Hey! We want to transfer some functionality from jira to Monday. JIRA has a scripting plugin - “Scriptrunner for Jira” that allows manipulation jira-object via Groovy code. Is there any alternative to this in here? Creers, Bogdan!

Hi :_), I have a working mutation (tested on playground, does the job) to insert a new item with populated columns: mutation { create_item( board_id: ${MondayService.issuesBoardId}, group_id: ${MondayService.clientTicketGroupId}, item_name: "fromApp12", column_values: "{\\"people2\\":{\\"personsAndTeams\\":[{\\"id\\":\\"36904156\\",\\"kind\\":\\"person\\"}]}, \\"dropdown\\": {\\"ids\\":[3]}, \\"status94\\": {\\"index\\": 2, \\"post_id\\":null}, \\"status3\\": {\\"index\\": 2, \\"post_id\\":null}, \\"dup__of_severity\\": {\\"index\\": 2, \\"post_id\\":null} }") { id name } } I am attempting to use it in the following way: console.log(resFromNewItem); if (resFromNewItem.status === 200) { console.log("New Item created Succesfully!"); } else { console.log("Error creating item: ", resFromNewItem.data); } } catch (err) { console.log("error in monday fetchAllBoardIssues: ", err); res.status(400).json(err); }

Hi all, I have a board with the following columns: The dev assignee and Reporter columns are of type “multiple-person” and with id of “person”. I am having a person’s id, which I’m trying to insert in the followingway: mutation { create_item( board_id: 3782143770, item_name: "New ItemZzzZ", column_values: "{\\"multiple-person\\":{\\"person\\":[{\\"id\\":\\"36904156\\"}]}}") { id name } } I get a new item being created with correct title, but the assigned person is the first person in the alphabetic order, no matter what person id i put inside. So, yeah, I’m quite struggling with inserting a person into the multiple-person column, and I couldn’t find anything in the web which was actually working for my case. Any ideas? Regards! :_)

Hi all, do you know if this article about Error Codes is up to date?monday API docs As far as I can see I don’t receive any error_code, status_code, error_message or error_data fields, but a simple errors array containing a message field. For example, triggering an error on purpose by calling a non-existing xxx field, I get the following errors array: Array ( [0] => stdClass Object ( [message] => Field 'xxx' doesn't exist on type 'Query' [locations] => Array ( [0] => stdClass Object ( [line] => 1 [column] => 129 ) ) [fields] => Array ( [0] => query [1] => xxx ) ) ) Do you know how to get the fields mentioned in the article? Thanks.

Hello, I have an issue with the monday.storage API. The app has a Board View and a Widget. Both store data in the monday.storage and this works well. Publishing new minor versions of the app has no issue as well. But when I publish and install a new major version, all created board views and widget lose its data. Is it a known issue? Is there any workaround for this? Thanks, Andrey
