Hi everyone, I’m new to monday app development and have a basic question. I’m exploring the possibility of creating a new action for the “Board Main View.” While looking at app features, I noticed an option for “Doc Action” with the description: “Create a new plug-in to support new actions in the workdocs.” However, I can’t find similar options for boards. Am I missing something, or is this feature not available? Thanks in advance! 😃

I am trying to clear the subitem file column with ‘change_column_value’ mutation. For the item its working good but for subitem its throwing an error ‘item not found on board’. Same error is throwing with upload file to column also, working with item id but not working with subitem. Here is my mutation: mutation($boardId: ID!, $itemId: ID!, $columnId: String!, $value: JSON!) { change_column_value( board_id: $boardId, item_id: $itemId, column_id: $columnId, value: $value ) { id } }

Hello, Having major issues updating the tag on an item column. I’ve tried various things but no luck. It appears that some value is being populated in the tag field, but not the actual tag. In monday, the field gains the little “+” symbol when this code runs, but nothing is visible. When I right click, I can “clear values” and the “+” disappears. Updating other columns using this function works fine. Just the tags is an issue. I don’t get any errors. I’ve tried various things some below: "tags__1": { tag_ids: [929292] }, [tags__1]: { tag_ids: [929292] }, "tags__1": { tag_ids: ["929292"] }, Here’s my code. Please help! async function updateItem() { try { const response = await fetch(“https://api.monday.com/v2”, { method: “post”, headers: { “Content-Type”: “application/json”, Authorization: mondayAPI, }, body: JSON.stringify({ query: mutation ($myBoardId: ID!, $myItemId: ID!, $myColumnValues: JSON!) { change_m

Hello, I wonder if there is a possibillity to listen if someone replies to an Update of a specific item. Webhooks can listen to any change on an update of a item. This including replies as far as I know. But this will spam a lot of webhooks if I only want to listen to specific item update replies. E.g. if a board item got a specific status, I want to listen to the replys of any new update on this item. Can this maybe be archived via a monday app and custom triggers? I currently cannot find a way, but maybe I tried to hard and got blind for an easy way. Thank you and cheers, Georg

I’m trying to create my first monday app in Java following the quick start guide. Everything seemed to work fine until when executing mapps code:push in the quickstart-java folder, the command went through the steps: Build asset to deploy, Preparing environment, Asset uploaded successfully but then error out: 'There was an error building application. My second attempt failed again but got more error messages below: Step #1: ERROR: failed to build: executing lifecycle. This may be the result of using an untrusted builder: failed with status code: 51 failed to build: (error ID: dc066188): ERROR: failed to build: exit status 1 Oddly enough, if I ran mapps code:push in the parent folder of quickstart-java, namely monday-code-quickstarts-main, then deployment completed successfully and I got my app’s public URL: https://f96d7-service-21708560-cdf22e73.us.monday.app . I am using a Windows 10 desktop and appreciate your help in resolving the deployment issue. Thank you. p.s. the public link a

Hello, I’m trying to download image using python. When I export my monday board to excel, I have a hyperlink of signature image which was received as a form input. The hyperlink inside the excel is private link like this: https://[company_name].monday.com/protected_static/15600435/resources/1433077819/signature.png If I just copy this link to the browser, the signature image download begins automatically. However, I want to be able to have the access to the original signature image using Python. If I try this in my python code, it fails to detect the image format because what is returned with the above hyperlink is the HTML triggering image download instead of the actual image: response = requests.get(student_signature, allow_redirects=True) # Check if the request was successful if response.status_code == 200: # Check if the response contains image data if "image" in response.headers.get("content-type", "").lower(): # Determine the image forma

I’m a bit confused about the difference between the access token that can be acquired by OAuth and the token on the Developer tab. since the token that accessed from OAuth doesn’t expired, so what is the difference In my case i just want a single access token that would authorize all the API calls across board items CRUD and the other users could see the changes made, what is the best practice for having access token in my case?

In the UI you can turn off notifications for a board. Is there a way to do this programmatically with the API? My use case is that I’m migrating a bunch of projects from a legacy system (a few hundred projects totaling a few thousand items) and I will be assigning up to three people to each item. I don’t really want to flood their inboxes so I’m wondering if there’s a way to handle this where I turn off the notifications for the board. Thoughts?

Hi, My dev team is developing our first marketplace app (a dashboard widget) and we have a few questions: Is there a quicker way to move an app from one Dev account to another, that does not require manual re-entry of settings? The way we did it today was via zip file upload, but then the settings have to be re-entered… quicker way would save us time in the future. Here are some questions that we have about monday’s API: A. Is there an option to dynamically modify/change the widget settings depending on another setting selection or the needs and functions of the application? For example: In the settings, if a checkbox option is checked, another settings field should not be visible, or be grayed out. B. In the Groups section of our widget’s settings, by default we have the option “All groups” selected, but this doesn’t return data for all the groups. Instead it returns an empty object. How can we retrieve the data for the Groups that have been selected by default? C. Is there an op

I am experiencing an issue with a code that uses the Monday.com API to fetch data from a specific board. Below is the code I am using: let Source = Web.Contents(“https://api.monday.com/” & “v2”, [ Headers=[ #“Method”=“POST”, #“Content-Type”=“application/json”, #“Authorization”=“Bearer Enter your API code” ], Content=Text.ToBinary(“{”“query”“: “”{ boards(ids: [YOUR_BOARD_ID]) {items_page {items{column_values{ id value type } } } } }”“}”) ] ), #“JSON” = Json.Document(Source,65001), data = JSON[data], boards = data[boards], boards1 = boards{0}, items = boards1[items], #“Converted to Table” = Table.FromList(items, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error), #“Expanded Column1” = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#“Converted to Table”, “Column1”, {“name”, “column_values”}, {“Column1.name”, “Column1.column_values”}), #“Expanded Column1.column_values” = Table.ExpandListColumn(#“Expanded Column1”, “Column1.column_values”), #“Expanded Column1.column_values1” = Table.ExpandRecordColumn

I have a board that contains upwards of 8000 rows and about 100 columns. I need to duplicate it via using the API. I have an in depth python script using the request module, but for this question, we can just use the API playground. From my understanding, I am timing out. The API playground will display the error message after 60 seconds has passed. I’ve seen some other posts about using pagination to mitigate timeout errors, but how can that be done with a board duplication mutation? In my python code, I have increased the timeout parameter to 120 seconds, but I still run into the same problem. Does the API have a set limit of 60 seconds? mutation { duplicate_board ( board_id: 123456, board_name: "123456_duplicate", duplicate_type: duplicate_board_with_pulses_and_updates, keep_subscribers: true) { board { id } } } >>> { "errors": [ { "message": "Failed to fetch", "stack": "TypeError: Failed to fetch ...

I’ve just started using the object view feature, and looks like it wasn’t designed in keeping with monday.com style guidelines. Here’s an example screenshot of the problem with a board view below it for comparison: Can this get fixed up please? Cc: @Matias.Monday

Hi, I am trying to push my code with code:push to monday.com’s servers. I made up and running the code with npx @mondaydotcomorg/monday-cli@latest scaffold run ./ quickstart-react. Then I had created a Feature on the app’s dashboard. But somehow it failed with the following error: ✖ There was an error deploying the application. ========== Logs ========== > monday-react-quickstart-app@0.0.1 start > npm run stop && concurrently "npm run server" "npm run expose" > monday-react-quickstart-app@0.0.1 stop > kill-port 8301 && kill-port 4049 && kill-port 4040 sh: 1: kill-port: not found kill-port is being executed on remote server since kill-port is installed on my local machine. So this is the case and I am stuck.

Will the image_scan counts value reset every month? Increase app subscription operations The increase_app_subscription_operations mutation will increase the counter for a specific operation. You can also specify what field(s) to query back when you run the mutation. It will return an error if no active subscription exists for the supplied token. GraphQLJavaScript mutation { increase_app_subscription_operations(kind: "image_scan", increment_by: 2){ counter_value } }

I am looking to use zapier to create a subitem with column values, stemming from a Monday form. However, I am running into issues when It comes to parentIDs or a 500 Internal Server error in my code. Here is the sequence of “events.” Google Sheets row triggers a web hook in Zapier → custom POST request into Monday to create the subitem with specific values. Code: For headers, I have… Authorization → “Bearer MYAPITOKEN” Content-Type → application/json Can anyone help me out here? It would be much appreciated! Whenever I try to just directly put in the parent Item ID, it still doesn’t work, and recently I have been getting this 500 internal server error. Thank you so much in advance!

Hi community, I’m building a custom widget with React for use in Monday.com. As it’s a widget, it will appear on a dashboard. Since dashboards can be connected to other boards, I want my widget to be able to access the specific boards that the dashboard (on which it appears) is connected to. In other words, is there is a way for a custom widget to access the board IDs of specifically the board(s) the dashboard is connected to? Thank you so much for your help!

Hey, I am a designer that currently trying to design a new platform for my company to make work easier for everyone. Ideally I want it to be integrated with Monday. Such as, PM creates a project/task and assigns this to in this case producers or designers. Is there any way (please forgive my none existing knowledge) to send this information to our new platform, and if so what would this be called and how can I look into this. This so the PM doesn’t have to create 2 similar project. Same would be, if the projected are done in the platform and ‘ticket off’. Can it be sent to Monday as task done? Any help here would be amazing. I am very exciting creating this for our small company. Unfortunately we don’t have a dev department so it a few hurdles to find out whats possible and not. Many thanks, Elin

Hi all, I’m trying to update multiple dropdowns in the same item as once. Which each drop down containing multiple values. I got this to work for one of them: { “query”: “mutation {change_simple_column_value (item_id: 123456789, board_id: 123456789, column_id:"dropdown__1", value: "Frankie, Cupcake", create_labels_if_missing: true) {id}}” } { “query”: “mutation {change_multiple_column_values (item_id: 123456789, board_id: 123456789, column_values: "{\\"dropdown__1\\": {\\"value\\": \\"IFM - Non-Productized FM, LA - Lease Administration - Financial Management, OPM - Space & Occupancy Planning, PDS - WD Outsourcing, TM - Transaction Management - Transaction Management Essentials\\"}, \\"dropdown5__1\\": { \\"value\\": \\"Integrated Facilities Management, Lease Administration, Occupancy Planning & Management, Project and Development Services, Transaction Management\\"}}", create_labels_if_missing: true) {id}}” } What am I missing?

Hi, I am building a client side application for an app idea. It is not a server backed application. It leverages the monday’s Graphql api and does something nice things. I want to monetize it as seat based subscription model not feature based. The question is, if the monetization type is seat based subscription do I need to check user plan upon team size before using the app? Or does monday do on behalf of me? If monday does not maintain subscription enforcement then I need a server to to store plan selections, right? What is the best practice here? cc: @Matias.Monday Thanks in advance.

lets say I have a endpoint to listen to the lifecycle events install uninstall etc and due to my app unavailability or a error at app side. I miss an event, would monday.com resend the event i.e retry(just like webhooks retry feature) or there is nothing like that ? what are the recommendations or bestpractices for above to not loose such events.
