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

Hello there @jtho-seif,

As of today, there is no way of creating a workspace from a workspace template (or adding boards and dashboard to an existing workspace) from performing an action such as changing a status column’s value. If someone wants to use a workspace template feature from a custom app, they have to use it manually.

You could create boards via our API when someone performs an action such as the changing of a status column value, but that is not possible for dashboards and the created board would not come from a workspace template.

I hope that information helps!

Cheers,
Matias

Hi Matias,

Thank you very much for the confirmation.
I will have a look at the API then 🙂

if you were to launch the app manually how would you launch it to create the docs and boards for board templates

Hello @jwatkins,

Is that question for me or for @jtho-seif?

I am not sure I understand what you mean.

Hi @jwatkins ,

I created a workspace app using this documentation :

monday apps framework

With it, I was able to create a workspace (with board / dashboard / docs) and implement it in an app.

When I launch the app manually, the app will create everything included in my “template” workspace.

Hope it answers your question 🙂
