I’m following the instructions on Monday’s Creating and updating apps page. When I add a ready-made feature I need to run a command to set up the dev environment and scaffold the feature:


npx @mondaydotcomorg/monday-cli@latest scaffold run ./ quickstart-integrations -s 2724804573259039201326c8dd9ecc20 -t integration-10138401

When I run the command I get this error: Access token is missing, please run: "mapps init".


If I run mapps init, I get command not found: mapps.


If I run npx @mondaydotcomorg/monday-cli@latest --help it looks like init isn’t available in this version of the CLI.


I have tried force clearing and removing the npm cache and reinstalling the Monday.com CLI without success. What else can I do to try and fix this?

In case anyone needs this in the future, I solved this issue with these steps:



  1. Downloaded the files [from the repo](https://github.com/mondaycom/welcome-apps).

  2. Navigated in the terminal (I’m on a Mac) to the project folder.

  3. Ran npm install.

  4. Got the Access token is missing error again.

  5. I didn’t know how to resolve this other than by installing the apps-cli package globally using npm install -g @mondaycom/apps-cli.

  6. After install I could run mapps init successfully. Got a request for my monday.com api access token.

  7. Ran npm run expose, opened the tunnel successfully and received the URL I needed for Step 4.


I feel I shouldn’t have added the apps-cli package globally but I’m not sure how I could have solved this otherwise. If anyone has any thoughts on this please add them here. Thanks!


thanks for this!


I’ve found that I did need to globally install mapps init and then run that and add my API credential. Once I did that, the tutorial instructions worked as expected. I didn’t need to download the welcome apps repo from Github. The key was in running mapps init.

Thanks, that’s good to know.
