Are you a developer writing apps on top of monday.com? We want to hear from you, so we are opening Office Hours for Builders 🍻 Sign up here. During these sessions, we want to hear your feedback on our apps framework: what are you building? How can we make the developer experience better? What has been difficult to implement? We’re excited to meet you!

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 ?

Hi, It is possible to create a link without http(s) but its impossible to update it without http(s). That is confusing. Is http(s) mandatory? If so the documentation should say so and it shouldn’t allow a link creation without it. Also is it possible to get something more explicit than a 500 error on that type of errors? I lost like 2 hours on it 😢 Cheers

I have been able to successfully us the “Try it Yourself” to create both query and mutation graphQL statements. Whenever I try to take these over to Postman and use the API, I contunually have issues…“query not found” Here is the latest: Try it Yourself Request: mutation {change_multiple_column_values( board_id: 312587506, item_id: 544770494, column_values: “{"date4": {"date":"2020-03-01"}}” ) { id } } Try it Yourself Result: { “data”: { “change_multiple_column_values”: { “id”: “544770494” } }, “account_id”: 4567162 } Postman request: URL: https://api.monday.com/v2/ Methid: Post Body: { “mutation”:“{change_multiple_column_values(board_id: 312587506, item_id: 544770494, column_values: {"date4":{"date":"2020-03-01"}}) { id } }” } Postman Reponse: { “errors”: [ { “message”: “No query string was present” } ], “account_id”: 4567162 } I have been able to get this to work with query instead of mutate, but at a loss why it does not recognize that there is graphQL string.

You can now also query the activity log via the Api. Unfortunately I can’t find any documentation about which fields I can query. Do you have more information? Thanks!

Hello! Is there a way to format the text of an update (bold, italic, bullets, etc.) when using the APIv2? Thank you for your answer!

I try to follow the example, but get this error: { “errors”: [ { “message”: “Unexpected end of document”, “locations”: } ], “account_id”: 3010465 } I attach a screenshot.

Hi, We are currently using Microsoft planner for internal measurements and progress of the team, we are also connected with Monday to provide reports to the management on the progress of each project. Right now we are duplicating our work by completing items on both platforms, appreciate if someone could share some insights on integrating Monday with planner Thanks, Pranith

Hi I was wondering is mondays.com can be used to fill in a job sheet in drobox? with the customers details? All details are entered onto a Monday’s calendar. Also manage a stock system, currently running in excel on 3 different tabs. I have engineers out on the road we assign them jobs via Mondays calendar feature. All the customer details are on the board. they mark the job competed and currently fill in and excel job sheet. document I was wondering if there is a way of when the engineer finishes the job, he can directly update the stock sheet to say what he has used? Is there anyone who can develop a system or recommend one? thanks in advance Alex

The duplicate command in the API is broken. I’m a full admin in my organisation but the api keeps returning the error: “User unauthorized to perform action”. The problem is that even though it returns an error, the duplicate action goes through and perform the action.

I’ve been using the API to send Mutations to Monday - these have been working well, but now these mutations are no longer running. I’ve not done anything with our API key, and that key still exists within our admin panel. There were a few small additions to items, but overall the items are the same. I checked my query, and even removed custom column modification on creation to just add items into the board to ensure use. No matter how I modify, this message keeps coming back: I’ve queried the board to ensure my ID’s are still relevant, and they are coming back correct… (sample query with successful data get of the board I’m trying to add to:) I have a message out to support to try and dig deeper as I’m thinking this could be API key related - but while I waited, I figured I’d post here to see if anyone has any insights.

Hi, I’m trying to query board for a specific column by column values, to see the costs of our use. data = ‘{“query”:“{items_by_column_values (board_id: XXXXXX, column_id: XXXX, column_value: 4 ) {id name }}”}’ The issue arises when I’m trying to query cloumn value by integer or float and not string. How can I query values that are integer or floats from a board? I’m using Python to do that if it matters. Thanks.

Hi guys, I just wanted to ask on how to get the latest replies the same way on how we get the updates. When I reply to the update, the reply is not showing. { updates(limit: 15) { id text_body body updated_at replies { body } item_id creator { id photo_thumb } } }

Testing queries at monday.com I’m unable to get past errors when trying to add column values via mutation. For example this query mutation ($columnValues: JSON!) { create_item (board_id: 123456789 , group_id: “topics” , item_name: “Item name” , column_values: $columnValues ) {id} } With these query variables { “columnValues”: “{"person":[{"id":12237196,"kind":"person"}]}” } Returns this error { “error_code”: “ColumnValueException”, “status_code”: 400, “error_message”: “change_column_value invalid value”, “error_data”: { “column_value”: “[{"id"=>12237196, "kind"=>"person"}]”, “column_type”: “MultiplePersonColumn” } } Simple text columns work but complex columns like people fail. The user id matches query users(king: non_guests) for example, also the id in the url in monday web interface. Do you know what am I missing?

Hello fellow humans, Here’s a basic snippet of C# that let’s you execute queries against the v2 API and return the response as JSON. For some this may be old hat, but it took me a good couple of hours of mucking about - so hopefully it can save someone else that time in the future! For convenience I’ve created a little helper class to encapsulate the call and return; using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.IO; using System.Net; using System.Threading.Tasks; namespace Monday.lib { public class MondayHelper { private const string MondayApiKey = "your-api-key-goes-here"; private const string MondayApiUrl = "https://api.monday.com/v2/"; /// <summary> /// Get a JSON response from the Monday.com V2 API. /// </summary> /// <param name="query">GraphQL Query to apply to the Monday.com production instance for Grange.</param> /// <returns>JSON response of query results.</returns> /// <remarks> /// Query must be i
