Hey, I experienced another change in the monday api that broke my app again. Every 5 seconds I’m getting the board columns again and comparing the columns to see if they changed - if they do, I ask the user to reload eazyform, since at this time I’m only dealing with board changes on app load. Within the last 24 hours, the monday api started to return inconsistent data for the labels_colors of the status column, in the settings_str. This has been reproduced on multiple boards and in multiple status columns. Calls are 5 seconds apart. See here for an example of the differences between calls in the settings_str. I worked around that by ignoring the labels_colors key (deleting it), since, for now, I’m not using it when creating the eazyform. I’m in the process of implementing a test suite that will also ping the monday api periodically to make sure there are no changes that affect or break my app, but I do encourage monday to do the same so we developers can get a heads up of problems or

Hey Guys, Working on developing our ticket booth application further more specifically the ability to have client communication through monday.com updates. We have finished the api on our end however we are running into a weird issue with emailing updates to pulse ID addresses. It seems that for some reason even tho the emails are being delivered on SendGrids end they are not ending up in the update. We tested all of this with a gmail account and it worked perfect however now that we are sending out of SendGrid it doesn’t create the update. Please see the screenshot below. My thought is that the email address doesn’t pass proper auth and this is something monday.com does to prevent spam however I am unsure and would love feed back on how to resolve. Thanks!

Hi all, I noticed that for building custom views and widgets it’s possible to uplaad your code to Monday.com and do some version control there; For custom recipes however, I don’t believe that’s currently possible and the run URL has to be external to Monday.com. Is that correct? Is anywhere aware of any plans to change this in the future, so the “endpoint” (run URL) can be hosted on Monday.com infrastructure. One of our customers is requesting this as they want their data to remain entirely in Monday.com Regards, Freek

Has anyone connected Power Automate (or Flow) to Monday.com? I have no experience creating an API connection, so trying to figure out how. I created a connection but it doesn’t like my key, so I’m probably not creating the connection correctly (showing my total lack of knowledge in this area!). Any guidance or help would be gratefully received! Thanks

Hi Support, I am very excited to work with the monday.com tool. But as it seems your documentations changed a bit with the developer dashboard so I failed to find the exact part from where I could upload my monday app and integrate it to my service.I am in a hurry, so maybe I am failing to find where the relevant controls/tools are for that purpose. Any pointers to help me would be greatly appreciated. I want to build and upload my Integration Recipes App. what I need to do. if I try to run “npm run-script build” it is giving me error build script missing. then how to zip the app and how to upload and where to upload it. how to use the URL that I have in my Receipe in the following image you can see no place to upload my file

Hi all I am starting to use the SDK to develop apps with dashboard features. I am just building some proof of concept simple apps at the moment, to test API queries. I am able to upload an app as a dashboard feature, query data using the sdk and render it, which is great. I am taking advantage of seamless auth provided by the monday.api() method. I now would like to start developing more efficiently, so i am trying to pass a token with the queries, so that i can debug in my local environment (rather than having to build and upload every time). I have tried using monday.setToken(‘api_token_provided_in_the_admin_section_of_monday.com’) and i have also tried passing the same within the options parameter of the monday.api method. when running locally, the api returns the error saying i am not authenticated (as if i had passed an incorrect token or no token at all). I triple checked the token i am passing. I am using the same in a raw query using Postman and that returns the data i expect.

Hi, I’m looking at building an app in the Monday.com framework which uses some data from a Monday board and also uses data external to Monday.com by calling an API. As a test I have followed the Quickstart guide which allows you to show data from the Monday API as a string in the view setup panel. I have then modified it to call and store data from an external (non-monday) api and display that as a string. The data is displayed absolutely fine when run at my local host, however in the Monday app view setup preview section the string pulled through from the non-monday API doesn’t appear. This seems odd as these are running at the same time from the same file (one at the local host and one exposed to monday.com via ngrok), is there some kind of permission I need to allow for apps in the Monday framework to access data from an external source? puzzled about why this data is not visible Many thanks

Hi, I saw there is “Groups” option here in the default calendar view: Is that possible to add the option here? I can’t seem to find the option 😞

Hi Everyone, Good day! Sorry if this is a silly question but is there a best practice that we follow when we want to reference multiple column IDs (more than 5) from a recipe sentence? Is there a limit strictly enforced on the number of input fields of a custom action? Or maybe an alternative approach instead of creating a number of input fields, so that the sentence wouldn’t be that too lengthy? Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to make a custom board template? I know we can make board views, but I wanted to make a custom board template that would be generated on a button click or integration. This board ideally would only have the one custom view and no main table. Not sure what the best approach here is.

Hi there, I am creating a new View using the SDK Is there a way to get the current view, or current board on which the view is being created? I see queries to get all data, but don’t see a way to get the current board, or current view. Regards, Kranthi

Hey all, I’ve got some newbie questions regarding making an app for general usage using the Monday.com framework. I’m still trying to get my head around some basic concepts, so I apologize if these questions seem naive. When building a new feature>board – this is actually a board view and not a board per say. Correct? If so, do I need to create a specific board – with specific fields – using the API create board, or do I need to make a view that works with any board template? I would love to be able to make a board template and have the board view apply that template but I can’t find any documentation on how to do this. I’m assuming that the I need to add fields in the feature edit area, then import them into my react app via the api settings command. will this pull just those fields, or pull the entire content of the board using this view, or do I need to use the api boards query command. is there a React App component for implementing the Monday Table component? or do I nee

Hi I need to add new and retrieve Item conversations via API. Is this possible? Can I have a sample queries to do the above actions? Thank you Dinithi

Hi I wanted to know whether it’s possible to write code and customize the current Kanban View? My requirement is to display conversations on the card itself without click on the conversation icon on the top right corner of the card. Just wanted to know whether it’s possible to write a monday.com app on top of current Kanban View with this requirement. Thanks Dinithi

Hi, May I know what is the logic behind the color you guys assign to the item in the calendar? Is there a list of color assigned follow by sequence? If yes, how many colors in total and what are the colors? Br YarHuoy

Hi there 👋, I’m building an item view. I’m trying to find out how to retrieve the Monday.com subdomaine (or url) of a user (I mean the xxx in xxx.monday.com). I need to build a link to an item. What is the best way to achieve that?

Hi there, Can we submit multiple entries to the Monday apps contest from one team? Thanks.

I did some debugging because of an issue and found out that if my backend (using an integration) is sending 401 or 403 status back to a request from a custom action, the request is send again and again. Is this expected behavior?

Hello! I am currently developing a monday.com app for the Apps challenge and my app highly relies on using its user’s Google Calendar data. The app is nearly finished(planing for completion by this Thursday), and it has a full google authentication flow that is required for each of its users. The problem with this is that Google requires that any apps accessing its user’s data go through an extensive verification process. I have already submitted my app to Google for approval but I am worried it might not get verified in time for November 30th. I was wondering if any of the community members have had experience getting Google Oauth verification and know of anyways to speed up this process. Also, this might be a longshot but since monday.com itself uses Google authentication and uses numerous Google integrations do you all have a way I could leverage monday.com’s usage of Google to get his verification process done faster? Any help is much appreciated, Eric Detjen

I have one very general, slightly nebulous question, which is basically: does anybody have any tips on building apps (board views, dashboard widgets, etc.) using more than just React, and specifically integrating code written in jQuery or plain javascript into the default React infrastructure? I’m fairly new to web development in general, and don’t have much experience in using these tools in isolation, let alone trying to combine them! 😬 There seem to be plenty of pitfalls, both in the coding, and in the use of the build tools. My other question is related, but more specific. Combining React and plain javascript, the only way I have so far been able to get the sdk working in both is to load it twice. That is, in addition to the automatically generated (by following the quickstart example procedure) import and monday = mondaySdk() code in App.js, I’ve added two script blocks - src=…/main.js and mond= mondaySdk() to index.html, so that I can access the api via the mond object

Is there any way to test/use a workspace template that I created in my app before publishing the app? Just like I can create integration recipes and use them in my workspace, I also want to test my workspace template. Is there any way to do that?

I am creating an integration that sends data from monday.com to an external application. The integration flow is as such: Whenever an item is created or updated in a board, the integration triggers my custom action url with the board ID from context. The custom trigger endpoint then uses the board ID to get data about the board (all the groups, columns and items) using the graphql API. To access the API, the app also includes oauth flow for Monday.com api. My question is: when I receive the update in my custom trigger endpoint, how do I decide which access token to use? All I receive in the custom trigger right now is the board id, and the oauth flow gives me the user id. How do I establish a relationship between the user and board? I also looked into custom entities, but it doesn’t seem to suit my use case.

Hi, I am trying to use below command to open item card on dashboard widget but it doesn’t seem to work . Is it supposed to work on dashboard or not ? monday.execute('openItemCard', { itemId: item.id }); I am getting below error Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘board_id’ of undefined at main-632ae7001070dd532a18.js:formatted:39221 at vendors-fe8637f4cddd6cf108b2.js:formatted:85878 at dispatch (vendors-fe8637f4cddd6cf108b2.js:formatted:1116) at main-632ae7001070dd532a18.js:formatted:39258 at vendors-fe8637f4cddd6cf108b2.js:formatted:85878 at vendors-fe8637f4cddd6cf108b2.js:formatted:1045 at n.value (main-632ae7001070dd532a18.js:formatted:146198) at a.receiveMessage (main-632ae7001070dd532a18.js:formatted:146028)

I’m looking to build an app that is essentially an event log. When new log entries come in from external systems, I would like the user(s) who are currently on call to be the only ones notified and/or assigned to them. Ideally there would be a board that represents the rota of who is on call at any given time, and an automation which is able to use this information. At first glance (as a newbie) this doesn’t appear possible purely within monday (i.e. using automations only), and would require an external application, using the api, perhaps to change who is subscribed to a board to reflect who is on call. Can anyone offer any suggestions about possible approaches to this?

Hi there 👋, When you open an item on the Monday App and you share it, you get something like: https://mondaycom.page.link/m3Fexxxxxxx How can we retrieve this link (with API or something else)? I would like to automatically generate a QR code to this link in a column.
