Hi, I’m developing an app for our company to facilitate an import from excel, and I ran into an issue when trying to update multiple values at once. If I try to run the following query the API throws an error 500: mutation { change_multiple_column_values( item_id: ***, board_id: ***, column_values: “{"jun":0.01,"totaal_b_s":1234.56,"laatste_inloop":{"date":"2020-06-01"}}” ) { updated_at } } (I anonymised the item & board id) I already emailed support a few days ago and they said they would put it trough to tech support but have not heard anything back yet.

It would be very helpful is HTML is allowed in the description of a feature. This allows the developer to point the user of an integration feature to a company site where more information can be found.

Hi! What I’m doing I’m currently parsing Monday board URLs to get their board IDs. I can see that the board IDs that I happen to be working with are strings of 9 digits, like 123456789. The issue When I parse a URL, I’d like to be able to match against the ID spec so I know that what I have is an ID. Grabbing the ID from its expected position in the URL (url.split("/")[4]) isn’t enough, since I need to guard against user input errors. What I’m wondering about Is string-of-9-digits a convention I can rely on for IDs? Will IDs ever: Include alphabet characters? Include punctuation or special characters? Vary in length? Thank yo

Hi, I’m using the change_column_value api to update a status column. I have a UI that allows a user to perform this action. However, the user would need to remember what statuses are acceptable. For example, possible statuses for the column are “done”, “work in progress” and “open”. Is there a way I can fetch the possible statuses for the column? This way, I can populate them as a dropdown for the user to select, which would be so much more convenient.

Hello, I would like to implement integration with Monday, for some of our internal applications. I looked at the integration of the github and noticed that only the webhooks are created on the github, which are sent to https://api-gw.monday.com/automations/github/github-events/xxxxxx Then the magic happens on monday. I certainly can use my token to do all the necessary work, but is there no way to make my work more universal (in theory, to integrate with anything), for example, send a web hook and process it somewhere on the Monday side (in my integration app)? I definitely do not want to use anything third-party, like an integromat. I just want to

Hi, Can someone help me on how to connect Monday Api v2 with Angular? I cannot seem to find an article regarding this one.

In the current state of the API V2, there are only 2 fields available for updates, id, and body. Most importantly however, we need the item the update belongs to and preferably the time it was created. I need to be able to send the most recent updates with information about the pulse it belongs to. We can create a query that looks like the following: query{ updates (limit: 5){ id body } } to get the 5 most recent updates and by keeping track of the previous last id received to find which updates are new but now in order to get information about the pulse this update belongs to, i need to send another query like the following: query { boards (ids: $board_id){ items{ id updates{ body id } } } } then search for the matching new id’s to actually use these updates for anything. This is not only slow but wastes complexity and could easily be improved by providing an it

I would like to create an aggregated view that has one main board as a starting point and a bunch of additional boards from which the data is going to be pulled. A simplified example is showing a graph of all linked items to the current board. It’s not possible to deduct from the data which board is the main and which is auxiliary. Therefore, I would like to have an option to specify it as a setting for my custom view. However, there is no Board in the settings list. When I create a custom board view, then in the development page, there is button “Boards” that allows selecting multiple boards. I assume, it is supposed to work as single selection to pass the board Id in the context. A custom dashboard view allows selecting multiple boards in the settings, however, it passes everything as one list, and not possible to create another selection in the setting for the main board. As a workaround, I could create a plain string setting where it will be possible

Let’s say we create a board called Random-Name inside Monday. In this table we would have a column called Random-Name-ID. If we want to update these records we must be able to do something like (pseudo code) UPDATE Random-Name SET status = "Done" WHERE Random-Name-ID = 1234; Does the Monday API support updating records based on a value in a column?

I am trying to build an Integration / Automation. After defining the Trigger and Action for the Integration Feature it looks fine. However when I view the App and select the Feature again the Action is reset to an Action used earlier. Also, I don’t see how to remove a custom Action. Any ideas?

Hello, I have read the following topics. C# Query Create_Item monday Apps & Developers I’ve been struggling with converting my GraphQL query into a C# query. All I get is a bad request or a parse error. This is what my query looks like atm. var query = QueryMondayApi(@“{ ““query””: ““mutation { create_item(board_i

Hi, I am trying to fetch item column values from a board and am falling short. The following query works when I run it in your try-it-yourself page, { boards(ids: MYBoardID) { name items { id name column_values(ids: ["text"]) { title value } } } } However, from c# the following fails with a Bad Request exception from the HttpClient request, query = “{ "query": " { boards(ids: MYBoardID) { name items { id name column_values(ids: ["text"]) { title value } } } } " }”; (edit, the escape back slashes for the quotation marks aren’t showing in the post, but the following image is a snip of the actual code)

Hi Monday. I am not a developer but I am the admin for our organization who uses Monday platform as a sales pipeline management tool. One feature that we desperately need (and were promised a while ago) was the ability to make formulas in the dashboard or for example take the SUM of a numbers column and calculate with the SUM of another numbers column e.g. find out a conversion rate in %. Now that you have the ability to create apps. Can your framework support a tool that can do this? Thanks.

Hi, I want to develop an app, which accesses Monday.com API. But I want this app to be used no by my organization but by my clients (external organizations) that use Monday.com. Is it possible to do it now? I noticed that retrieving the token can only be done manually, by each admin user, so I was not sure how I can develop the app when I cannot have the user just sign in and give me the permissions (like in Slack or Zoom). If it’s not possible what’s the closest way of doing it? having the admin passing their tokens to me, then I will use them to call the API for the relevant data? I also noticed the beta program for your app marketplace and I subscribed to it, is it gonna be open soon? Thanks!

I’ve been using Monday for a while and everything is working great for me. Like a week ago I’ve been consuming the api v2 with one of my boards and the items are created alright but there is a date time column that when the item is created and I open the board on desktop looks everything is ok but if I open it in the app the column is empty and if I download the board as .xlsx is empty also.

Hi all I have a question regarding Clockify integration with Monday.com- Can multiple people time track via Clockify for the same task/pulse as the Monday.com ? The time tracker on Monday.com does not allow for this.

We’re trying to create a view that is very similar to the existing Overview app, except that it can be dynamically filtered to show certain boards. We’ve been able to pull the boards we want, but now need to replicate some of the fields that are available in the overview, such as status and progress, and aren’t certain how to get those. Any advice?

Hi, I’ve done a mutation request on API v2 to create itens on some boards. I notice that some of the requests are being declined by Monday. I receive a Connection reset by peer exception. Just wondering if it is common? Do I have to add retry policies? Is there any reason for this declined requests? My app is reeeeally far from reach the Rate Limits described on the API v2 documentation. Thanks!

I’m following tutorial https://monday.com/developers/apps/quickstart-view, but receive error on the screenshot while trying to upload zipped production build.

I understand looking through past threads that the status column has experienced some bugs. Can someone tell me if the status column is working correctly under the create item mutation? I cannot get a status column to be populated either by index or label. I always get a 500 returned. Thanks.

I’m trying to retrieve a small set of Items for team capacity planning. It can be based on the board owners, subscribers, or just Item task owners. Currently, if I query all open tasks across my org, it will result in tens of thousands of record requests which feels wasteful considering API limits. I’ve tried to limit the query using “owner:‘John Doe’” as an argument in both the Boards and Items fields. Neither works. Example: { items (owner:“john doe”, state:active) { … } } Is there a way to accomplish this or must I export the large data set of the entire company and filter it down to just my team known members?

How do you alter only a start or end date (not both) for a timeline column through the api? I have tried not including the “from” parameter and only have “to”. I have tried using a wildcard (*) for the date value I do not want to change. I only need to change the “To” date. I don’t want to mess with the “from” date. Help please? The API documentation makes it seem like you need both!? Why? “To update a timeline column, send the start and end dates in a YYYY-MM-DD format, where the start date is “from” and the end date is “to”.” - “{"from":"2019-06-03","to":"2019-06-07"}”

Hello, we use Monday and Clockify and I am trying to automate the following processes (always from monday to Clockify) : When a board is created → create a client When a group is created within a board → create a project linked to client When an item is created inside a group → create a task in appropriate project I tried with the following : Zapier : but it has problems discriminating between board and sub-items creation (?) Webhooks : has no way to handle board creation events Integromat : works on a recurrence basis not on a per event basis, lacks some access to board properties and Clockify clients’ and projects’ properties So i am considering making this through PHP and the API but i need to handle board creation event’s in order to avoid to parse all our boards structure every minute… Any insight about where to start from ?
