Hi there, I’m trying to create new columns relative to particular existing columns on the board, but it doesn’t appear at first glance that there is a position property to set on the existing mutations. In light of the recent updates to the group’s position arguments (relative to, position relative method), I think it would make sense to apply a similar approach to be able to create columns at a position relative to another given column. Is this type of functionality currently possible with the API? If not, should I create a separate feature request post for this?

When adding columns to a board through the WorkForms builder, Monday does not send any column created webhooks. Is this the intended behavior, or is it a potential bug?

Hello, I have a board with 4 groups, ~170 items, and some number of sub items. I’m attempting to pull the data from the sub item columns. I initially attempted the following query: query{ boards(ids:2596083107){ items{ id subitems{ id parent_item { id } column_values{ title text } } } } } This returned a complexity error: “Query has complexity of 24011020, which exceeds max complexity of 5000000” I attempted to get just the sub item data query{ boards(ids:2596083107){ subitems{ id parent_item column_values{ title text } } } } I was met with: “Field ‘subitems’ doesn’t exist on type ‘Board’” I went back to my original query and attempted to break it up into pieces based on group: query{ boards(ids:2596083107){ groups(ids: “new_group”){ items{ subitems{ id name column_values{ text title } } } } } } again, I got a complexity error. I am at a loss for what else to try. These are not complex queries. If this were SQL, they’d be returning a couple thousand rows, max. How can I redu

Hi, I hope this is the right place to post this question… We are using Webhooks integration: “When any column changes send a webhook”… We have a two-way application which sometimes updates the column data externally. But this then triggers the Monday Webhook - which sends the same data back to our original application - this is at least causing us to process unnecessary traffic - and I suppose could cause data sync issues on a slow network. Is there some way to have the webhook trigger like: “When any column is changed IN MONDAY ONLY send a webhook” (If we have to write a Monday app for this, can someone provide an outline of how?) Otherwise what is the sensible way for us to check in our external application that the column change was made IN MONDAY and not via API/Webhook…? I can see in the Webhook data when change is made in Monday contains the [previousValue] array… Would it be safe for us to check for the existence of this array as an indicator that the data change happened in Mo

Hello, We have 3 field types each of which is pulling in options from different urls We use these field types in our recipe workflow but for each of these fields we are receiving api request to same endpoint of the first one to get mirror columns. when I inspect the reqeust that is sent to monday.com: Where Teams Get Work Done in payload fieldTypeId is same for all 3 types of fields. How can we debug this issue?

After some experimenting and troubleshooting, I’ve determined that group_id must be a required argument in the create_item mutation. The example code here shows the mutation without that argument: Overview of GraphQL However, it was only after putting in a group_id like in the example from the documentation here that the 500 error went away: Items Can you please test and confirm if this is an issue, and if so, update the documentation?

According to the changelog, the position value on the create_group mutation was deprecated. However, there are a few issues when it comes to the documentation: The hyperlink on the changelog post links to itself. You have to navigate to the appropriate method on the group api page. The documentation states that position_relative_method argument behaves differently if there is relative_to argument as well. It appears to go above the relative_to group id with a before_at value, but if the relative_to argument is missing, it goes at the bottom of the board. This is counter-intuitive. You would expect this to go to the top of the board as you’re placing it “before” the other groups. Update group mutation still lists position as one of the group_attribute values and details further about the position numerical value under new_value. Is this numerical positioning still valid on update_group? It seems strange to position it two different ways based on these two different methods, especi

Running into errors when trying to create_item and it is giving a Parse error. Here’s the code: mutation ($boardId: Int!) { create_item ( board_id: $boardId, group_id: “topics”, item_name: “New item”, column_values: “{ "text0":"SKYLINE", "text5":"timbuktu" }” ) {id} } Here’s the error message { “errors”: [ { “message”: “Parse error on bad Unicode escape sequence: "{\\n \\\\\\"text0\\\\\\":\\\\\\"SKYLINE\\\\\\",\\n \\\\\\"text5\\\\\\":\\\\\\"timbuktu\\\\\\n }" (error) at [6, 26]”, “locations”: [ { “line”: 6, “column”: 26 } ] } ], “account_id”: 12345678 } Thanks in advance.

I have some columns in “board2” which are mirrored from “board1”. These are ‘text’, ‘number’, and ‘status’ columns. Is it possible to trigger an action in board2, when value/text inside any of these three column changes in board1? I tried using “When column changes” or “When status changes to something”, but I don’t see any mirror column reflecting in the dropdown in recipe sentence.

Hello Everyone, I’m currently working on using webhooks with a mirror and I’m encountering some difficulties. I have two boards, Test1 and Test2, and I’ve set up a mirrored field called “Status_Mirror” on Test1, which mirrors the “Status” field on Test2. I’ve also set up an integration that sends a webhook when any column changes. However, when I change the status in Test2 or the Status_Mirror in Test1, it doesn’t send a payload to my webhook. It only works when I change a non-mirrored column. I’m trying to avoid having to create three columns per board that I want to mirror and use the data from. My idea was to use the webhook to handle the moving of items to different groups. Currently, I need to link all the boards, have a link column, a mirror column, and a trigger column, just to move an item based on the mirror column’s status (which is echoed to the trigger column and the automation is done from there). If anyone has any knowledge or can offer any help, I would greatly appreciat

Hello, I am trying to create a generic template for ETL jobs, every job essentially requires a dev to develop / test ETL sections and I want to create a simple template for this. The simplest idea I could think of was duplicating an epic and change the name of the epic. Subtasks can stay the same. When I try to do this, the epic gets created and I can see it on my sprint board but I cannot see the subtasks, even though I can see them on the epic page, can you help? Thank you

I am trying to extract data from monday.com from Qlik.I am struggling with pagination.So,Monday.com is Graphql based platform and Graphql supports cursor based pagination.Do Monday.com supports cursorbased pagenation?? For eg :below Query works. { boards(limit:10,page:1) { columns { id } } } When I try to add fields for cursorbased pagination,it shows below error message- “message”: “Field ‘pageInfo’ doesn’t exist on type ‘Board’” Query used is as follows- { boards(limit:10,page:1) { pageInfo{hasNextPage totalCount} columns { id } } } Kindly help with the pagenation.

Hi, Currently, I am trying to build an integration between monday.com and the external system. But I have a question regarding the built-in triggers of monday. When I am trying to log the data when specific events occur (For example: When the button is clicked) Monday triggers give events even if the button is not clicked. Is this normal behaviour? Is there any way to get the event data only if the trigger occurs? Is there any way to get the event data only if the trigger occuer? Example trigger log: {'payload': {'blockKind': 'action', 'blockMetadata': None, 'inboundFieldValues': {'boardId': 1180565737, 'itemId': 1180565821, 'sourceColumnId': 'button', 'targetColumnId': 'text_1', 'transformationType': {'title': 'to upper case', 'value': 'TO_UPPER_CASE', 'invalid': False}}, 'inputFields': {'boardId': 1180565737, 'itemId': 1180565821, 'sourceColumnId': 'button', 'targetColumnId': 'text_1', 'transformationType': {'title': 'to upper case', 'value': 'TO_UPPER_CASE', 'invalid': False}}, 'rec

Hi everyone! I’m new to using Make.com to build integrations with monday. I have a scenario that rolls items up to another board. When an item is created in board X, a new item is created in board Y. I’m using a watch events webhook, triggered by a status change on monday. In order to prevent duplicates from being created in board Y, im trying to retrieve the data in board Y, and apply a filter to check if the item already exists. I’ve tried Execute Graph QL to find an item by column values, and have also tried the Search By Items Column’s values module in Make. The problem is: the bundle returns empty on the first few runs. It only finds the newly created item if i wait a few mins. For instance I added a Sleep module of 70s, and that gave it enough time to register the new item, find it and successfully avoid duplication. I’ve noticed this issue of data not registering right away in several other scenarios i’ve worked on. And i’m wondering if anyone has any solutions or tips on this

In one of our apps I’ve been trying to build an integration that would update the status of an (sub)item on a custom trigger. This is easy for normal items, but not subitems. For normal items you have a couple ways to do this: Use the pre-build action “change status” Create custom action with the recipe sentence input fields “Status Column” and “Status Column Value” These two options however don’t seem to account for subitems. I’ve created a custom “Subitem Status Column” field type that returns a columnId, however any column field other than “Status Column” is not usable with the “Status Column Value” field (I get a blank screen, screenshots). Even if you select the generic “Column” input field type with a constraint of allowed column types “Status” it is not possible. I assume the reason for this is that “Status Column Value” has a dependency on “Status Column”. So the only way I can see how to implement this if I also create another custom field type “Subitem Status Column Value

I am trying to connect a form from our website through Zapier. All the information comes through properly except the phone number. I have included an image of the error message that I keep getting about the “countryshortname”. I have tried turning the “flag” for the phone column on with no luck. I have attempted to place (phone9: in front of the information from Squarespace also with no luck. Any help will be appreciated.

My app is an integration that connects to an external view that displays particular items that are selected via a status column in the board. The status column has to have specifically named labels. Is there a way to package a column template with my app or otherwise publish a column template? The worst case scenario is the user having to set up the column manually because any mistake will mean the app doesn’t work.

Hi, based on a start date I used a formula to calculate a ‘follow up date’. With FORMAT_DATE I did the formating. But the column is not provided in den calendar view. I guess monday does not accept the formula as a date field. Any idea how I get the result of the formula into a date automatically? Cheers

Hi Team, I have tried using @Guichaguri (Guichaguri’s gists · GitHub) powerbi script to connect monday.com board data into powerbi except formula column duration every data is listed , so could you please help me how to import formula column duration board into powerbi using query. Thanks, Duken.

Hello there, First post in the developer section. I’m trying to figure out how to write a code in GraphQL for deleting subitems. I’m reading this description (Items) and I note this quote “Using this board ID and subitem ID you can apply any action to the subitem as you would to a regular item (i.e. archive it, delete, change column_values, etc).” and it’s not clear to me what syntax I’d have to use to delete (not to create) a sub item (not an item). Would it be something like this: mutation { delete_subitem (parent_item_id: 1234567, item_name: "subitem to be deleted") { id board { id } } } or something like this with the parent item id inserted somewhere? mutation { delete_item (item_id: 12345678) { id } }

Hi everyone, There is a new Shopify Integration app on the monday app marketplace. This integration between monday.com and Shopify allows businesses to streamline their e-commerce operations by syncing data and automating workflows between the two platforms. This integration can enable teams to efficiently manage orders, refunds, and customer data across both systems, reducing manual data entry and increasing accuracy. For example, orders from Shopify can be automatically created as items in monday.com, allowing teams to track their progress and manage fulfilment. More recipes will be added based on user feedback and request. Multiple Shopify stores can be connected with one monday.com account If you have a Shopify store, please try out the app by installing it from the marketplace.

From last 5 day we are getting error for Scheme query “Query has depth of 8, which exceeds max depth of 6.” It was working fine till now before last 5 days. Suddenly we are getting this error now.

Hi I have a Workspace App I’m developing and when I push either a Major or a Minor update and try to update the app in either a test account or the account I’m developing in I get: {"error":"invalid_request","error_description":"Invalid client_id param"} when I inspect the page’s code. Any ideas for how to fix it? I’m only using the vanilla built in App Building Tool for a Workspace App, none of the code for it is custom so it has to be a monday.com setting somewhere or do I need to figure out how to build a custom bit of code of some sort?? I have multiple apps that I need to figure this issue out so they all update and work out of the gate, especially the one for the paying customer! Ideas? Guidance? Help? Sue
