Hi all, I have a custom app that i have developed through the quickstart integration for nodejs. When i am running the server locally (npm run-sript start) all is fine and dandy - no issues. I am confused about how this gets pushed back to monday. If I am not running the server locally it appaers to not work at all. Could this please be clarified?

I do see errors in my log files with error_code MutationCallsExceeded. Can’t find any reference in the documentation. Do you know what this means, under what conditions it can appear and how to prevent this?

Whenever trying to delete the item, getting 500 status code instead 404 not found error. Below is the error for non existing item delete mutation. { “error_message”: “Internal server error”, “status_code”: 500 } We are expecting 404 not found in case incorrect item id. Regards Prashanth

I am attempting to upload a number of files using the v2 endpoint, but it seems to fail whenever the file type is a png. I get this response from the server: { error_code: 'RecordInvalidException', status_code: 422, error_message: 'Validation failed: Resource Paperclip::Errors::NotIdentifiedByImageMagickError, Resource Paperclip::Errors::NotIdentifiedByImageMagickError, Resource Paperclip::Errors::NotIdentifiedByImageMagickError, Resource Paperclip::Errors::NotIdentifiedByImageMagickError, Resource Paperclip::Errors::NotIdentifiedByImageMagickError, Resource Paperclip::Errors::NotIdentifiedByImageMagickError', error_data: { error_data: 'Validation failed: Resource Paperclip::Errors::NotIdentifiedByImageMagickError, Resource Paperclip::Errors::NotIdentifiedByImageMagickError, Resource Paperclip::Errors::NotIdentifiedByImageMagickError, Resource Paperclip::Errors::NotIdentifiedByImageMagickError, Resource Paperclip::Errors::NotIdentifiedByImageMagickError, Resource Paperclip:

For example some triggers return the itemId as a string “12346790” and some as a number 12346790. Specifically “when date arrives” returns the itemId as a string not a number, but other triggers return a number. Along that note, boards.id is a number but items.board.id is a string. Someday some consistency in these types would be nice 🙂

Hi All. I really could use some advice. I’m a volunteer for a non-profit animal rescue. I know a little about a lot, enough to be dangerous, but I’m very new to APIs. I understand how they work and I can query via PostMan, but I don’t know how to implement the automation. What I need to achieve: Webhook to populate a drop-down in our gravity form (current available animals) with status = available Create an item in Monday when the form is submitted, linked to the selected value from the selected item(s) from the drop-down. I know general asks like this are frowned upon, but I’m just asking for a pointer to information. I’ll do the leg work to figure it out, I’m just hoping there is a kind developer out here that can point me in the right direction. I am SQL db developer in my day job, and I am limited to my free time to support our rescue. I receive no compensation for my time or effort and we are 100% volunteer run. If someone could throw me a bone, I’d be very grateful. Many

Hi all, Just wanted to share, in case anyone else has been stuck on this, that the current docs incorrectly state how to decode the JWT in " Authorization for Integration Recipes". In this segment it says the code can be decoded with the app’s Client Secret. However. this didn’t work for me - it worked when using the Signing Secret as usual 😊 Perhaps this could be updated in the docs? It will hopefully save others quite some time. Thanks!

We are trying to retrieveAll Team object but it is failing with query complexity issue. Query is below : { teams { id name picture_url users { birthday country_code created_at current_language email enabled encrypt_api_token id is_admin is_guest is_pending is_verified is_view_only join_date location mobile_phone name phone photo_original photo_small photo_thumb photo_thumb_small photo_tiny sign_up_product_kind time_zone_identifier title url utc_hours_diff } } } Getting error : {“errorDetail”:“{“errors”:[{“message”:“Query has complexity of 28013010, which exceeds max complexity of 5000000”}],“account_id”:11771408,“statusCode”:400}”} Currently instance is having sample data with 7 teams and 9 users on 30th of September we successfully got response with total 7 teams and 9 users. but now showing Query complexity issue. How we can avoid the issue with query complexity to retrieve the same data as above. Regards, Ashwini

A few weeks back we announced the new value-created type in our SDK: This new type will track the time between when a user installs your application and when they get value from it. You will determine what actions are considered valuable. You can call the monday.execute() method with the valueCreatedForUser type each time the valuable action happens: monday.execute('valueCreatedForUser') To analyze the amount of time it takes users to get value from our apps, we need your application to use this type. After executing this method, you won’t see any immediate changes. We plan on exposing these insights to app developers and adding more telemetry about app usage in the future. To learn more about the value-created type, please see Value-created event best practices Happy building! 🛠️

Hello I’m trying to get through graphql the lookup values represented in a mirror column. The returned value is null, for which I asume lookup columns need to receive the parent id of the connected board in the query, but I’m not sure how to elaborate on that. { boards(ids: 3072864141) { items { id name column_values(ids: ["mirror"]) { value } } } }

Hi, I I have ran the following Python script and received a message: {“data”:{“add_file_to_column”:{“id”:“639126111”}},“account_id”:7384772} But in the item Files column the file is not displayed. Here is the script: import requests url = “https://api.monday.com/v2/file” payload={‘query’: ‘mutation ($file: File!) {add_file_to_column (file: $file, item_id: 1455154608, column_id: “files”) {id}}’} files=[ (‘variables[file]’,(‘Board_Subitems.txt’,open(‘C:\\MyData\\Monday\\Files\\Board_Subitems.txt’,‘rb’),‘text’)) ] headers = { ‘Authorization’: ‘XXX’, } response = requests.request(“POST”, url, headers=headers, data=payload, files=files) print(response.text) I would appreciate some help. Thanks!

Hi, I am looking for some help writing script for monday.com where I need to change multiple items & their connected column values. I have got to a point where I need support on writing and executing the script in monday.com. thank you

do we have pagination support both “page” and “limit” for Workspace, Group, Item, Column and Column Values in a single query (GraphQL)???

Hi, I am retrieving the json code from API successfully from the board selected but cannot manage to parse the data using PHP $responseContent = json_decode($data, true); Specifically, I get the below result from above: {“name”:“Subject Name”,“column_values”:[{“id”:“subitems”,“type”:“subtasks”,“text”:“”},{“id”:“email4”,“type”:“email”,“text”:“”},{“id”:“text8”,“type”:“text”,“text”:“”},{“id”:“long_text”,“type”:“long-text”,“text”:“”},{“id”:“person”,“type”:“multiple-person”,“text”:“John Doe”},{“id”:“status”,“type”:“color”,“text”:“New”},{“id”:“time_tracking”,“type”:“duration”,“text”:“1244:02:22”},{“id”:“creation_log”,“type”:“pulse-log”,“text”:“2022-08-22 13:08:10 UTC”},{“id”:“date”,“type”:“date”,“text”:“”},{“id”:“text5”,“type”:“text”,“text”:“”},{“id”:“requestor_email3”,“type”:“text”,“text”:“”},{“id”:“formula9”,“type”:“formula”,“text”:“”},{“id”:“files”,“type”:“file”,“text”:“”},{“id”:“item_id”,“type”:“pulse-id”,“text”:“3dffdf99”},{“id”:“dropdown”,“type”:“dropdown”,“text”:null}]}]}]},“account_i

Is anyone aware of a way to update a single column with a new value for all items in a board, with a small number of GraphQL mutations? I don’t see anything suitable in the GraphQL API without having to make N mutations, one for each item in the board, which I’d like to avoid if possible. I wonder if anyone else has hit this problem and has come up with any creative solutions (Formula columns etc)? The create_column defaults option would be one option here, however it does not appear to work, and I see from GraphQL API: Hide columns (& general defaults) that it is recommended not to use it and “it is under revision at the moment”.

We have a board of “kits” I want the ability for our staff members to checkout kits. I would like to have a form with a dropdown where they can choose an available kit. So I am wondering, is it possible via the API to change the labels of a status column? This would help me get the functionality that I desire.

Is there a way for me to export a board to Excel through the API? Have the file passed to the requesting app, rather than downloading automatically? We have boards that we reuse each day, with a group at the top that always stays there, and the other groups get archived at the end of each day. We export all the boards to excel before archiving groups, to have a record of what happened each day. We then have a folder on the hard drive for each day, and move the excel files into it. I’ve just gotten Make.com set up to do some other things for me, and have started wondering if there’s a better solution, first for automating the export/archive process, and also possibly storing the excel files somewhere online where its easier to look through them. I realize I can grab all the data in a board and place it somewhere else, but wonder if that’s not just reinventing the wheel when the Export to Excel option already exists. I’d love to hear if anyone has any ideas of a better way to store and v

Hi! I’m trying to build a test integration but keep getting the same error when running the scaffold command in my commandline: “error: unknown option -t”. Any idea how to troubleshoot this? Node version is 16.16.0, NPM 8.14.0.

Hello everyone, I’m trying to figure out the best way to detect whether an item has changed since the last time i have looked at it via the GraphQL API. This is my situation, I am synchronizing a number of records between a SQL database and Monday. On the SQL side I have a field that contains the hash of the record content at the last time the record was synced to Monday and one dynamically changed with the hash as the record currently stands. This way i can easily compare the current status and determine if some change has occurred. I am looking for a similar method on the monday side. Of course I can store the current hash when writing to monday via API. I am looking for an easy way to detect any subsequent changes (without having to load all items and generate/compare hashes). Any idea? Has anyone solved this problem already? How? Thank you in advance.

{ "query":"{mutation(myItemName: String){ create_item (board_id:2364371628, group_id:XXXXXX, item_name:\\"New Leads\\", column_values: $variables) { id } }", "variables": {"email":"test2@test2.com","firstName":"test2", "lastName":"test2", "companyName":"test2", "phoneNumber":"1234567890", "message": "here is a sample message"} } I’m trying to pull lead data from Marketo and send it into Monday.com via a webhook but can’t figure out how to write the correct query? I’ve added my key to headers so I know it is working. “New Leads” is the group Name but not sure how to get the Group ID. What else am I missing and how do I fix the query? The error I am getting is: { "errors": [ { "message": "Unexpected end of document", "locations": [] } ], "account_id": 6562763 }

Hello! I’m working on a bash script to perform multiple automations in monday. The script is already able to create boards, create groups, create items in the correct group… the only thing missing now for me is to enter a value into a specific column for a new created item. Can someone maybe help with this? I’m new to the monday API or GraphQL API in general. This line of code works to create an item and I know the ID of the column I want to add a value in is “numbers”. What would I have to add to this line to do this? curl --location --request POST ''https://api.monday.com/v2'' --header 'Authorization: '$APIKey'' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Cookie: __cfduid=d4512e647bd3dd90706f5673d6041f7c51618840981' --data-raw '{"query": "mutation { create_item (board_id: '$boardID', group_id: '$buildingPhaseID', item_name: \\"TEST ITEM\\") { id }}"}' Thanks in advance for your help with this!

I am new to Monday and wish to use data from external resources or databases to fill tables in dashboards on monday. Can anyone guide me through this or at least point me to the right direction?

Hello, I didn’t find the way to change the state of an item. My goal is to find an item in the recycle bin and move it to a new group in a board… thanks

Hi all, Random question I’m hoping someone may be able to help with. Our firewall team are currently trying to establish a connection between a Power BI on-premise server and the Monday.com API. They have opened up the firewall to allow 104.16.11.42, but are seeing denies on 20.190.159.64 and 40.126.31.71. Could someone please confirm if these IPs are part of api.monday.com/v2? Just need confirmation of the IP’s we should be whitelisting to establish the connection. Many thanks, Rich

For those that are familiar with JS/CSS, there are ways to hide specific elements on a website. On Chrome, specifically, I’ve had my team use the following extension:chrome.google.com I then added the following CSS .monday-board-subsets-tabs .monday-board-subset-item-v2:nth-child(2) { display: none; }``` This makes it so that the **second HTML Div / view** gets hidden. I did this because I have an overview set as default... Now this code clearly hides the main table view for everyone. Not sure if an app can be made to apply this conditionally based on each user but the Chrome extension itself allows you to enable/disable the functionality. I manually set this up on each team member's computer so they don't have access to the main view. I'd like to see Monday have this as an official solution based on user roles. Quick and easy solution, especially if they have it applied directly on their website for cross-browser support!
