Hi Team, I have a relatively specific case regarding Connect Board column values and moving items across boards. I understand the limitations created and the reasons involved with moving items across boards when they are connected to other boards. Our use case is that most of our day to day tasks are held on one ‘Main’ board, with lots of bits of data being fed in from/to other boards. Many items are even created by other boards before being added to the Main board. Connect Board column values allow us to track where those items have come from, and to create report dashboards etc that filter by these values or values mirrored from the connected boards. Our Main board is now becoming full and we will need to start removing some of these items. We are not deleting them or archiving them, as we need them for the reporting dashboards. Instead, I’ve created a duplicate of the main board and am attempting to move the items there, but can’t actually move any items as lots of data is lost. It’

I am having trouble creating items. I have read through the api documentation and have tried setting up my post request exactly shown in the docs. I unfortunately cannot share my code one for one since some of the information is sensitive. Though the problem seems to be coming from how the “column_values” are formatted. Code The purpose of the update_payload variable is to fix the column values. I created some code that parses data and correctly formats the forward slashes to how create_items mutation example looks like. # python 3.10 import json import requests apiKey = 'xxx' apiUrl = "https://api.monday.com/v2" headers = {"Authorization" : apiKey, "Content-Type" : 'application/json', "API-Version" : '2023-10'} def create_item(board_id, group_id, item_name, column_values): payload = f""" mutation {{ create_item (board_id: {board_id} group_id: {json.dumps(group_id)} item_name: {json.dumps(item_name)} column_values: {json.dumps(column_values)})

As I’m looking at the API, I’m noticing that the old “person” and “team” columns aren’t listed as supported column types any more. Which makes sense since they are deprecated. Has in all the mondayDB work, etc. those legacy columns on old boards been converted to “people” columns? Just wondering what’s going to happen if those columns show up on boards (if they even exist on boards now). Its not something I think about much, since I can’t even make them to test them. But, if they can show up on really old boards… I’d like to know if I still need to attempt to account for them.

monday.com has announced that support for the current default API version, 2023-07, is ending January 15, 2024. The new version, 2023-10, is set to become the default as of January 15, 2024. According to monday, there are breaking changes coming with this new version. This community post in the Make community precisely captures my concerns. We can afford to wait until Monday for a potential solution, but waiting for months is not an option. Especially because we don’t know what the solution will be. I’m also concerned about the long-term implications of these API changes. If we’re facing breaking changes now, will this happen more often in the future? The investment of 40+ hours (for the company that I work for) for each significant API update from Monday is already steep. As we continue to build more integrations and create scenarios, this time will only increase. I’m interested in understanding whether Monday has plans to introduce breaking changes more frequently. This information i

Hey! As far as I understand, with mondaydb formulas now get calculated in the backend. So I was wondering when we can expect the API to return the calculated formula results? In our app, Spreadsheet Gorilla, we are currently executing the formulas client side. This works to some degree but with certain limitations. – Simon

I wanted to perform a search using the Items page by column values query using the “2023-10” API version. I want to get the sub-item details—that has an Item-ID column type—by using the value in that field. Using items_page_by_column_values with column_id and column_values gave me an error: Error Code: UnsupportedItemsByColumnValueQuery Error Message: Column of type pulse-id is not yet supported for this query Error Data: {“column_id”:“item_id”,“column_type”:“pulse-id”} Looking at the docs I found that searching for items_page_by_column_values, item-ID column is not supported. Are there any ways that I can get the column details by performing a search with the “item-Id” column type? Given is a screenshot of the column where I want to find the details of the sub-item.

Hi All, my first post in the forum so please bear with me. 😊 I want to send a notification to a team just like you can do through the UI via @TeamABC, but as far as I can see it is only possible to choose user_id as identifier for the graphql mutation. Is it possible to address a team somehow? My workaround so far is to extract all the users for a given team and notify them one-by-one, but it is not very elegant.

Im trying to write a query to move an item from one board to another. this is the example from the docs: mutation { move_item_to_board (board_id:1234567890, group_id: "new_group", item_id:9876543210, columns_mapping: [{source:"status", target:"status2"}, {source:"person", target:"person"}, {source:"date", target:"date4"}]) { id } } This is my query (I’ve removed the ids for this post) : mutation { move_item_to_board ( board_id: 0000000000, group_id: "0000000000_group", item_id: 0000000000, columns_mapping: [ {source:"id_number", target:null}, {source:"email", target:"text9"}, {source:"text", target:"text0"}, {source:"text8", target:"text"}, {source:"status1", target:null}, {source:"dropdown", target:"dropdown37"}, {source:"dup__of_referral", target:"dup__of_referral"}, {source:"phone5", target:"phone7"}, {source:"date", target:null},

Hi team, I feel it would be better to input Account Slug in the monetization section for extending the trial or offering a discount instead of Account Id. The slug is more easily accessible to customers as it shows up in the browser url, and I believe there should be a 1 to 1 mapping between account Id and the slug.

Hi there! I’m migrating a Monday API python wrapper to work on the 2023-10 version of the API, and I found out that the field items doesn’t accept the item ID anymore! How is anyone supposed to find data about a specific item using only the item ID? For example, this query gets the item updates, works perfectly on 2023-04: query{ boards (ids: %s){ items(ids: %s){ updates (limit: %s) { id, body, created_at, updated_at, creator { id, name, email }, assets { id, name, url, file_extension, file_size }, replies { id, body, creator{ id, name, e

Hi I need to extract BoardID name,itemID name and date created and date updated {“query”:"{ boards{ id name columns { title id type } groups { title id } items { id name group { id } column_values { id text value }}}} "} i use like above but i can find date column how to extract date with respet to item

Hello everyone I am building an integration app and would like to host it somewhere. But I’m not sure where this should be. Should I treat the app like a normal REST API built on node and express? Because that’s what I could comprehend. And in that case, should hosting services like Digital Ocean be good enough? This is my first app and I might not be making a lot of sense over here. So apologies for that. Highly appreciate any feedbacks. Thanks!

We’re working on improving our Glances app onboarding flow in Monday. Is it possible to know when an App was installed in monday? Or a way to know if it’s the current user’s first time to use the app? We’re trying to find a way to determine if the current monday user just installed the app so we can trigger certain things on our backend. We have the app webhooks installed, but I don’t know how reliable the timing is between when we get the actual “app installed” hook vs. when the user actually clicks the install button from the monday marketplace. Any ideas? Thanks!

i am trying to integrate from our git into monday and need to transfer the git’s ticket description into a long_text column. as the description can include markdown, it will include hashes and other special characters that seem to break the graphQL api (e.g. hashes are comments in graphql etc.) should be easy to fix if I knew the expected encoding for long_text api input strings. But could not find any. working in nodejs with raw data. First try (which works api wise but does not result in proper display of the texts): ` ${mutationName} : change_multiple_column_values( board_id: $boardid, item_id: 1273911846, column_values: "{ \\\\"name\\\\":\\\\"${gitlabIssue.title}\\\\", \\\\"text\\\\":\\\\"${gitlabIssue.title}\\\\", \\\\"long_text\\\\":\\\\"${encodeURIComponent(gitlabIssue.description)}\\\\" }" ) { id name } ` before I try all string encoding

Hi, Does the new version of the API (2023-10) include features to deactivate and delete users? Br, YH

Hello Monday.com dev forum! As the title suggests, I am trying to integrate Monday.com with Dialpad to send SMS Text messages. Only users at my current company will use it. My plan is to use Salesforce as both the integration endpoint as well as the database layer as that is where most of my experience is. The idea is that my workflow recipe will have an Authorization URL that is my Salesforce endpoint that will decode the JWT token and retrieve the userId, recipeId, and backToUrl. Then it will redirect to the Dialpad OAuth URL where the user will then login. Once they have successfully logged in, Dialpad will redirect to a different Salesforce endpoint where it will get the Dialpad API Key. The Salesforce endpoint will then save the userId+recipeId and API Key as a key value pair that can be accessed whenever the Workflow Recipe is fired. This seems like it would work in theory but I am running into some problems. When Dialpad succesfully authenticates and redirects to my endpoint, I

I am attempting to update a people column, with relevant teams to the user in the column. The mutation in the API playground appears to by syntactically correct, but returns a 500 error. I am very much a novice in this arena still and can’t seem to sort this out. The query is as follows: mutation { change_column_value( board_id: 11111111111111111 item_id: 22222222222 column_id: “multiple_person1” value: {personsAndTeams: [ {id: 12345, kind: “team”}, {id: 678910, kind: “team”}]} ) { id } } Any help would be appreciated.

I have a small JS page hosted on my own website that I have used to make an Item Feature. It works great in the feature “View Setup” page but when I actually install in on my board the title comes up but it’s blank. This is my first MDC app so it’s probably something trivial I don’t understand about the process. I have spent a few hours trying to understand this, re-reading the documentation, etc. -Doug

I am using an external service (Forms on Fire) to pull a list of Boards with their Groups into a table. I can pull a list of Boards and a separate list of Groups, but I need to have a field or column that links each board to its groups. Using GraphQL to query, then JSON path selector and response mapping to push the data into a table. The JSON response (when using the API playground or PostMan, etc.) returns each Board, with the groups and their properties underneath each board. However, once I parse this out into tables, I cannot access the Board Id in the Groups table. Has anyone tried something like this before? Thanks. JSON row Path Selector data.boards[].groups[] Query Below { “query”:“query {boards(limit:100) { name state id permissions groups { id title position color } }}” }

Hi, I use API calls to make entries in Monday from a source that generates data. After checking this source I can see it sends me exactly one Webhook. I make one Monday call with this data, and therefore expect one entry at a Monday Board. It has been like this, 1:1 for months. Suddenly in the last few days however, one API call into Monday is resulting in two identical entries in Monday. Is this a known glitch in Monday? Is there a cure? Anyone have any info on this? I am not sure how to debug Monday, but anyway, just curious for any with experience with this. Thanks

Can someone tell me why I might be getting an “undefined” promise (the promise state is fulfilled) when I execute the example code from the API documentation? I am assuming it has to do with user rights. I am an admin but it seems like there may be separate controls for what my code can do. Running this script from a server while logged on, in a seperate tab, to MDC. <HTML> <head> <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/monday-sdk-js/dist/main.js"></script> <script> const monday = window.mondaySdk() monday.api(`{ users { id, name } }`).then(res => { alert(res); }); </script> </head> <body> </body> </HTML>

Hello, In 2023-10 there is this change: “Type changed: All IDs now use the ID type, not Int.” This page says: Migration guide - 2023-10 Version 2023-10 has some type changes to improve the consistency of our GraphQL API. Specifically, we aligned our schema so all fields representing numerical IDs now use the ID type. As a return value, it’s expressed as a string. When used in an argument (input), it accepts either string or integer values. If your app is strongly typed, your code may throw an error when this type changes because your application will expect an integer but receive a string. To solve this, please review your API calls to check if you use any affected fields. Then, ensure your code accepts both integer and string values. Note: Even though you could convert the strings to integers, we don’t recommend it, as the structure of these IDs may change in the future. The problem is that the column_values JSON string only accepts Int type and gives ColumnValueException if it is

Hi monday devs. We receive daily support request from users reporting that they receive the following error message when they run a General Caster integration: Your automation has failed due to a resource not being found. We discovered that this error is returned by monday when the app is not installed on the workspace where the integration is running on. By design, even if an app (like General Caster, featuring custom integrations) is not installed in a workspace, the user can add and set an integration up in his boards, but when he runs it the error is returned. So if you don’t want to change this behavior and keep showing an app available in the workspace where it’s not installed on, please change the error message with something like: The app is not installed in this workspace. Please enable it in the admin area. cc @Matias.Monday

Hi, I noted there is a change in the API, and I am no longer able to retrieve mirrored values through the webhooks text step as it returns me a warning instead of the actual values. How can I return the mirrored values of Item IDs from the item that I am querying from? Thank you.
