Looking for more information as to specific use cases any of you have created using custom integrations! Thanks.

Hi. We are using https://apps.developer.monday.com/docs/custom-trigger to create items when the user performs an action in our service. However, our users are requesting that the items are updated if they make a change in our external service (e.g. if the object they created in our service was deleted). Is it possible to retrieve the itemId for the item created by the custom trigger? If not, how can we refer to and update the item that got created?

I created an integration that maps subitems by their ids but when I test I get some errors because when a subitem is created the ID is not always constant. Is there a way around this?

Hi, I’m writing a function that updates certain items we have. Now when I use the create_update mutation, and send item_id as a variable I get: {"errors":[{"message":"Variable myItemName of type Int! was provided invalid value","locations":[{"line":1,"column":11}],"value":null,"problems":[{"path":[],"explanation":"Expected value to not be null"}]}],"account_id":XXXXXXX} However if I were to omit the variable, and enter the ID in code: item_id:YYYYYYYYYYYY the update works just fine. I am providing sample code under. function testUpdate() { global $token, $apiUrl, $headers, $generalBoardID; $testID = YYYYYYYYYY; //settype($testID, "Integer"); echo "item_id: $testID\\n"; echo "Datatype of testID: ".gettype($testID); echo "\\n"; $query = 'mutation ($myItemName: Int!) { create_update (item_id:$myItemName, body:"HELLO") { id } }'; $vars = ['myItemName' => $testID]

Through the API - I can get the color of the Group, but how do I get the color of the individual item? Or, how do I get the colors for all the labels?

Hey Community, I am creating an integration feature for my app, where a column change triggers an event and that event triggers a webhook. How can I get the account ID in the payload? I was able to add user id, board id, and item id as output fields and I see them, but i really need to get the account id. Once i have the account id, I will be able to search my database to pull up the account record which contains the bearer access token adn other important data that I need to perform additional API calls. I saw a similar question on this closed topic Account id in Webhook

Hey guys, I dont know if anyone asked already, but still… When I make this integration, and new lead comes to Mailchimp, I see that Monday puts his NAME & EMAIL into ITEM’S NAME instead of doing NAME → ITEM’S NAME , EMAIL → EMAIL And also I really wanna import a tag into my CRM Does anyone know how to do it ? Would apreciate A LOT for your help!!

With the new builder interface I am struggling to set the text part of a field in an integration (custom) trigger. It used to be {the text, theField} but now I need to type a / and can insert the field. Where / how can I change the text that shows in the integration recipe? I checked the documentation and the documentation still shows how to type the sentence in the recipe (like I used to do). Seems that the documentation is outdated.

Hi all! is there a way to copy data from an item by clicking a button? I was trying to find an automation and couldn’t find one. I know that copying programmatically requires a window object, that we cant have on a backend component. Is there a workaround within monday that can be used? Thanks!

Hello! We’re building new app for our users. As far as I understood user has to install app first, after he can authorize it. Can you add support of back_url (or redirect_uri) for app installation urlauth.monday.com The resulting url will look like monday.com: Where Teams Get Work Done… So user can be returned back to our site and proceed the authorization process of the app.

Is it possible to add an existing file asset to an item files column with the API? If so, how?

Hi, i’m trying to create a new item in a board with populated columns using postman. however when i submit the following mutation query as per the APIs guide, i keep getting the following error:{“error_message”:“Internal server error”,“status_code”:500} i have tried to send it in different variations. i did manage to create a simle item with no populated columns. this is the query i use in postman: mutation ($boardId: Int!, $itemName: String!, $columnValues: JSON!) { create_item (board_id: $boardId, item_name: $itemName, column_values: $columnValues) {id} } **with the following graphql variables: ** { "boardId": 1201957991, "itemName" : "229", “columnValues” : { "name": "ido", "address" : "PTV", "phone" : "0504441814", "order_date" : {"date" : "2021-04-11"}, "model" : "Marumba", "__units" : 300 } } please fi

Hello monday.com community! We at Trix Solutions are excited to announce the beta release of Moncli v2! We have put a great deal of work into simplifying existing pain-points and providing some awesome new features that will simplify your development experience! Firstly, we have largely redone how we handle column values. With v2, all column values are retrieved as their corresponding Python native type or class using only the value property. They can be set with the same data type or , in some cases, with a convertable data type like a simple string. Take the following code retrieving a date column as an example. item = client.get_items(ids=[12345678], limit=1, get_column_values=True)[0] date_value = item.column_values['Date'] print(date_value.value) # Returns datetime.datetime(2021, 11, 15, 0, 0) # Update value with simple string date_value.value = '2021-11-16'

I cannot find a way to get comments (notes) of board items. Boards query doesn’t contain any info about it. https://api.developer.monday.com/docs/boards Is there any way to do that?

Over the last couple of months our team has begun utilizing a power dialing tool internally for our sales team. This has helped autonomously boost productivity when it comes to lead and prospect outreach. Due to the overwhelming success, we had found while utilizing such a program made us ask “Why is no one providing a tool with

Hey Ya’ll, Building an integration with lots of Monday api calls & webhooks. Usually when I can’t find documentation I scour the forums, or end up dumping monday webhooks to see how an item is dumped to see if feeding it back to monday will give me the result I want. This however, has not been working with removing all assigned people from an item. Here People (monday.com) explains how to add assignees, but not remove. So from dumping a webhook from monday when I clikc to remove all assignees I get this payload: {'event': {'userId': 22676521, 'originalTriggerUuid': None, 'boardId': 1973061092, 'groupId': 'topics', 'pulseId': 1973182044, 'pulseName': 'alex test', 'columnId': 'people', 'columnType': 'multiple-person', 'columnTitle': 'Assignees', 'value': {'personsAndTeams': [{'id': 22676521, 'kind': 'person'}], 'changed_at': '2021-12-02T18:56

Hey There! Has anyone figured out how to create a folder by executing a GraphQL Query? I can see how to create a workspace, board, items, etc… but, I don’t see any information on creating a folder.

Hi Monday Team, I’m actually having the same doubt as BraveCarlo on his post Create_item mutation with board-relation value - what's the value format? monday Apps & Developers Hi, I’m trying to create_item with several column values. I can set numeric and people columns fine, but I don’t see documentation for board-relation type in

Hey all! We are developing an App that creates Boards in respond to some user interactions. The creation is done in the server side using a token given by the user (following this authorization flow). Unlike creation of Items, which are done interactively (the user can see the Items being added one by one) - the new Board is created, but is not shown in the Workspace’s boards and dashboard list. The user must refresh the page to see it. As our App is shown in the Dashboard view, refreshing the page means the user will need to reload our App for no real reason. Is there a way to show the new created Board without refreshing the page? Thanks! Etay

From the API playground: mutation{change_multiple_column_values(board_id:654, item_id:456, column_values: "{ \\"notes\\" : \\"y\\", \\"effort\\":\\"3\\", \\"dependent_on\\":{\\"item_ids\\": [123,345]} }"){id}} returns error: SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0 same syntax, changing “dependent_on” column to a “connect_boards” column with appropriate change in item id, works correctly Any ideas?

Hi, The following is my query: query { items_by_multiple_column_values (board_id:826830563, column_id:"date4", column_values:["2021-11-01","2021-11-02","2021-11-03","2021-11-04","2021-11-05","2021-11-06","2021-11-07","2021-11-08","2021-11-09","2021-11-10","2021-11-11","2021-11-12","2021-11-13","2021-11-14","2021-11-15","2021-11-16","2021-11-17","2021-11-18","2021-11-19","2021-11-20","2021-11-21","2021-11-22","2021-11-23","2021-11-24","2021-11-25","2021-11-26","2021-11-27","2021-11-28","2021-11-29","2021-11-30","2021-12-01","2021-12-02","2021-12-03","2021-12-04","2021-12-05","2021-12-06","2021-12-07","2021-12-08","2021-12-09","2021-12-10","2021-12-11","2021-12-12","2021-12-13"]) { id name group { color } column_values { id title text } } }

We are creating an integration, using custom entity to allow mapping from Monday board item to our application. One of the fields we want to map is a people field. The documentation here: https://apps.developer.monday.com/docs/dynamic-mapping#supported-primitive-field-types - seems to indicate that if we map from a ‘people’ field, we should get the data submitted as per: "people": { "identifierType": "email", "identifierValue": ["email1@company.com", "email2@company.com"] } we are finding that the data is being submitted to us as: "ourPeople": { "value": { "personsAndTeams": [ { "id": 25388021, "kind": "person" }, { "id": 25387959, "kind": "p

I have an automation in production which creates items and updates them. As of yesterday 2021-11-21 around 21:53, every create_update request is denied with status code 500. There were no changes to the code, which leads me to wonder if this issue is on our end or Monday’s API. code (python 3.9): def update_monday_task(task_id, content) -> None: logging.info("Creating update for monday task %s", task_id) query_update = 'mutation { create_update (item_id: %s, body: "%s") {id}}' % ( task_id, content, ) requests.post( url=config.MONDAY_API_URL, json={"query": query_update}, headers={"Authorization": config.MONDAY_API_TOKEN}, ).raise_for_status() The response’s json payload is {'error_message': 'Internal server error', 'status_code': 500}. Item creation still works with no issues. Can you please advise? Thank you.

Hello everyone, I have the following questions about a use case and I would like to know what is possible with Monday API : In a board I would like to use an item as a “parent”, and link this item with other items considered as “children” (quite similar to items with subitems) by adding an ID reference. Do you know if we can use Monday API to say that when a children row is updated (status for example), it also updates data in the parent row ? I would like to know if with the Monday API we can do the following actions : let says that we have two subitems a and a’ from two items in two distincts boards. These sub items have the same ID reference in a column, and the items also have the same ID reference. Is it possible to do : when data from a subitem a from item 1 in board A is updated, it also updates subitem a’ from an item 1’ in board A’ ? Thank you for your great help, Corentin

Is there a way to update multiple items in a board, or do we just run the change_column_value() mutation multiple times?
