Check out two new webhook events!

Hi @rachelatmonday,

create_column sounds interesting, I have to think about it!

How about delete_column? 🙂

Thanks,
Lubos

Hi @lubos.husivarga,

I’m happy to hear you might find these useful 🙂

I’ll go ahead and forward your feedback to the development team regarding the addition of a delete_column webhook!

For what use case are you looking to apply this webhook?

Hi @alessandra

We are keeping board’s metadata in our database to more effectively work with them in our service. It significantly reduces the amount of monday api requests when we need an information about a column. On the other hand, it is difficult to keep the metadata up to date and having webhook events for create_column, delete_column and update_column in addition would make this job much easier.

update_column could be useful when labels of a status column are changed for example.

Hope it makes sense 🙂
Lubos

Hello @lubos.husivarga,

You can now use delete_column as explained here.

I will share your feedback as a request with our team!

Cheers,
Matias

Hi @Matias.Monday

Sorry, we are talking about Webhook events, not the mutations (linked), but thanks in advance for sharing it with your team!

Cheers,
Lubos

Hello again @lubos.husivarga,

If you are referring to these webhooks, we have one for the deletion of an item too!

Or are you referring to native triggers to use in your integrations?

Hello @Matias.Monday
We are also keeping board column’s metadata in our database to reduce the frequency of API requests to Monday.com. This has generally served us well, but we’ve encountered a challenge when it comes to distinguishing whether a column has been deleted or is simply restricted for a particular user. Currently, the API does not provide this information.

After some consideration, we believe that a straightforward and effective solution would be to have a dedicated webhook for column deletion events, perhaps named something like delete_column. Implementing this webhook would significantly streamline our process by explicitly notifying us when a column is removed, thus clearing any ambiguities regarding column status.

I also noticed that @lubos.husivarga might have been referring to a similar need for webhooks rather than mutations in a previous discussion. It seems that having more granular control over column events through webhooks could benefit several of us in this community.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and any potential updates on this feature.

Best regards,
Paweł
