Hi everyone,I’m building a full-stack app using monday code (React UI + Express backend) and I want to make sure I’m following the correct authentication and authorization best practices.Current architectureUI → Backend authentication From the UI, I fetch monday.get("sessionToken") I send it to my backend in a request header In the backend, I verify/decode the sessionToken using my client_secret This works well for validating that the request comes from monday and from my app When decoding the sessionToken JWT, I noticed that it does not include a short-lived token that can be used to call monday APIs. OAuth & monday API calls I implemented a standard OAuth flow In the OAuth callback, I store the returned

Hello Monday Dev Community. I’m brand new to building apps within Monday (haven’t coded in a long time, but getting back into the game). I’ve followed this Quickstart guide and everything worked up to step 6 which is the following: When I run npm run build, I get an error that the build script does not exist. I checked the package.json file and it does not include the “build” script. I’m thinking that the quickstart guide is out of date, but I don’t like to assume. This is a list of scripts that npm run shows:

Hi everyone,I'm building a Monday App using React and Express. I'm using SecureStorage to store the OAuth access_token after the handshake.I have a concern regarding Scope Management and Token Validation.Currently, I define my required scopes in an Environment Variable (e.g., MONDAY_SCOPES="boards:read users:read"). In my authentication middleware, I simply check if an access_token exists in the storage. If it exists, I assume the user is authorized.The Logic: Env: SCOPES="boards:read" User authorizes: I get a token with boards:read and save it to SecureStorage. Later: I update my app features and change Env to SCOPES="boards:read boards:write". The Problem:

Hi everyone,I am building a React + Express app and deploying it using the Monday CLI (mapps code:push).I am currently implementing the OAuth flow, but I am stuck in a tedious manual loop regarding the Redirect URI.The Scenario: Frontend: I initiate the OAuth flow using window.location.origin to build the redirect URI dynamically. Backend: In my callback function, I use an environment variable (MONDAY_VERSION_URL) to validate the redirect_uri during the token exchange. The Code:Frontend (Initiating Auth):JavaScript const startOAuth = async () => { const { data: context } = await monday.get("context"); const currentOrigin = window.location.origin; // This changes on every deploy

Just thought I’d put this here.You can get the region of the monday account by decoding the shortLivedToken from an automation and getting the value of rgn and  extracting the first 2 letters for au, eu, il or us.It contains other information too, but what is aai?Example decoded shortLivedToken:{ "alg": "HS256", "typ": "JWT"}.{ "shortLived": true, "uid": 6......4, // user_id: number "actid": 2......2, // account_id: number "aid": 1......4, // app_id: number "aai": 2....1, // ???????????????????????????????????????? "rgn": "euc1", // region: string "exp": 1768213333, // token expiry: number "iat": 1768213033 // token issued at: number}.[Signature] 

Dear Community, I hope this message finds you all in good spirits. I would like to inquire about the fate of account Storage once a user decides to uninstall the app. Are the data wiped out entirely upon uninstallation, or does Monday.com retain any portion of this data for a certain period or under specific circumstances? Thank you all for your contributions and support. I eagerly await your insights and feedback.

Hi everyone,Has anyone found a way to support standard or managed templates in cases when an app stores board related data that should be duplicated when new boards are created from a template?In our case, the app stores column related metadata (in monday storage) used for column views (https://developer.monday.com/apps/docs/column-views). If a user adds our column to a managed template, we would like the app data to be automatically populated for all boards created from that template, so they don’t need to configure it in each boards. New boards created from template should have the app data populated from template as well.So far, we have not found a way to associate boards with the template they were created from. Having something like a parentBoardId or template reference on boards would make this much easier. Also having the a

Hello, I have some questions regarding ability of creation custom Column Views:Will be there some mechanism of conversion of ordinary column to custom one, without losing data and attached automations? Now if application is deleted, custom column becomes unclickable instead of turning to usual column as common sense suggests. Is it a bug? Will custom column views be supported in mobile app?In general it would be good to know roadmap for Custom Column improvements at least for nearest quarter to plan what can be get from platform and for what workarounds should be prepared.

  Hi everyone,   Quick question about Monday.com app publishing:  We built a third-party CRM integration for another platform. Our Monday.com app is  OAuth-only - no UI, no features within Monday.com. Users authenticate via OAuth to  allow syncing CRM data to Monday boards.   Current issue: OAuth only works for our organization (dev mode). External users can't  authenticate.  Question: Must we publish to Monday.com Marketplace just for OAuth, even though the app   has no standalone features in Monday.com? Is there an alternative for production OAuth   access?   All user interaction happens in the external platform. The Monday app just enables API  access.   Thanks for any guidance!

 Hey everyone! 👋  I'm building a custom Monday.com app and running into an issue with custom field dependencies. Hoping someone here has encountered this before!  The Problem  I have two custom field types with a dependency relationship:  - Boardz (parent field) - Lists boards ✅ Working  - Viewz (dependent field) - Should list views from selected board ❌ Not working  When I select a board and then click on the view dropdown, no network request is made at all. The field just shows "Please select a board first" even though a board IS selected.  My Setup  Field Type 1 - "Boardz":  Type: List (Remote Options)  Remote Options URL: https://...app/integrations/remote-options/boards  Default field key: boardId  Dependencies: None  Status: ✅ Works perfectly - returns board list  Field Type 2 - "Viewz":  Type: List (Remote Options)  Remote Options URL: https://...app/integrations/remote-opti

My automation has been successfully running the following mutation daily for weeks:```mutation updateItem($board_id: ID!, $item_id: ID!, $column_values: JSON!) { change_multiple_column_values( board_id: $board_id item_id: $item_id column_values: $column_values ) { id }}```With the following variables:```{ "board_id": 8767955035, "group_id": "topics", "column_values": "{\"date4\":\"2026-07-24 00:00:00\"}", "item_id": "8954255421"}```The `group_id` variable is set, but not used, so this is just a red herring.Today when it ran, I got the following response:```{ "data": {}, "errors": [ { "message": "Unauthorized field or type", "path": [ "change_multiple_column_values" ], "ext

I am working on a Custom Widget. And I am adding a Field, of type Column and only allowing Timeline-type columns.  When I go to Settings in my implemented Custom Widget, it’s only showing the item columns, but no the subitem columns that mach with this criteriaI want to be able of selecting also which subitem column, of type Timeline, I want to use.

Hello everyone.I see monday recently added support for API Key Authentication in Credential Feature for workflow blocks, is there something similar for sentence recipe automations?But more importantly, would an app using API Key Authentication be accepted in the marketplace?I know OAuth is the recommended method and that’s what I’ve used for my other apps, but there are some third party services that don’t have OAuth.

Hi all!Excited to be part of the community, and to share that I finally managed to push this over the first major milestone: launching in the marketplace!The app is for vertically grouping columns together, hiding/showing them, and colorizing them. The initial users of the app seemed to feel like it had lots of potential and I’m curious to hear what you all think. You can make custom groups of columns per horizontal item group or globally across all item groups.You can find it here: https://monday.com/marketplace/listing/10000997/column-groupsWhat can be better? What doesn’t work well for you?Thanks for the feedback and encouragement, it’s been both fun and frustrating to navigate the development ecosystem, but I think things are moving along now.Cheers,Brad

Hello,We are experiencing an issue while configuring webhooks in the Developer Center. Specifically, we are unable to add our Live version URL; the system returns an error every time we attempt to save it but the version-specific URL is accepted without any issues. We have followed the official documentation and the setup guide, both of which recommend using the Live URL. Could you please help us understand why the Live URL is being rejected?Thank you for your assistance. 

Hi everyone,I’m excited to share a new app I’ve been working on called Team Glossary.The Problem: We found that as teams scale, unique internal terminology and acronyms often lead to confusion, especially for new hires. Static boards or Workdocs help, but they require users to manually search for definitions, which creates friction and leads to low adoption.The Solution: Team Glossary allows you to build a central repository of terms, but the real value is in the Item View integration.Key Features: Auto-Detection: The app automatically identifies defined terms within your item views and shows their definitions in the Glossary item view. Centralized Management: Easily add and update terms from one central location(only admins can add/edit/delete new terms). Standard terms import: You can e

 Hey all! 👋We launched an app for sharing items between boards and just released a new version that adds automations to make item sharing/linking easier, including templates of how to link items between boards and bulk actions for quick initial setup.Tl;dr - our app lets you link/share items with your desired columns across boards and keep selected columns in sync both ways, manually and automatically.What’s new in this version:Relationship Templates: reusable templates for how data should flow between boards (your saved “linking recipe”) Automations: use those templates in monday automations so linking happens automatically

I'd like to replicate this kind of UI from sentence builder within workflows:The image above shows monday's standard Outlook Calendar configuration.While learning to do similar in workflows, I'd like the ability to replicate this UI.In workflows we can use "sub fields" – https://developer.monday.com/apps/docs/object-fields – and because the calendar event in Outlook has a fixed number of things to configure, we can use a static schema without the need for a remote URL.I'd done the following to configure the static schema:I've connected this t

I keep going back and forth between Monday.com’s API Reference API AI assistant and Gemini, and I keep getting conflicting answers on how this should look with neither one getting me to a working solution.  I keep getting 400 errors or errors about the file value being null.It appears that the Reference documentation doesn’t give enough information about how to do this with Python to get someone to a working solution.The confusion surrounds how to properly pass the $file variable into the python call (variable mapping and formatting).Can someone please post a basic python function that uses the inputs:API token, Column ID (of a files column), item ID, file_path (string representing the path to the file on your computer)in order to upload a file to the Files column of an item in Monday.com?Thanks. 

Hi there. I want to automatize a form, the idea is download the answers as a PDF file automatically. In monday, I use WorkForms Submission Viewer as a manual option to achieve it, I only go to the export button and the PDF File is downloaded: But, my objective is do the download process usign an API or a link or any kind of automatic process, because I need to storage each form’s answers as a PDF file into a repository.  I also found that forms generate this column call it “Submission link”, this links open a new browser tab with the answers: I could use that link to download the page with a curl, but the problem is that the images does not

Hey all, just wanted to let you know that our app Client Portal Builder has been released in the monday marketplace recently. With the app, you can create a Client Portal and share board items with clients. Here are some of the key features of the app: Create and manage Client Portals directly from within the monday UI. Data (including accounts) are stored in your monday account. Every client is literally a board item in a monday “Clients” board. Multiple different strategies to define which client is allowed to see which items and columns. Embed monday WorkForms in your Client Portal. Connect the Client Portal with your own domain. Customize colors and brand your Client Portal with your company logo. Multi-Region support: If your monday account is located in the US, your Client Porta
