✨:sparkles: Hi everyone!

We recently released subitem support in dynamic mapping blocks for custom action blocks in your integration recipes.

What is dynamic mapping?

For those who are not as familiar with our custom integration framework, dynamic mapping gives you the ability to map values coming from other platforms dynamically into your items’ column values. It also allows you to push values from monday.com to external platforms dynamically.

Here is what dynamic mapping looks like within an integration recipe, I’m sure this screen will look familiar to many:

For more information, feel free to check out our dynamic mapping resource here.

What does this mean?

Now we will support subitems in custom action blocks that use dynamic mapping. There are a few limitations to keep in mind:

  • This capability has been released for our backend only. This means that subitems are supported for custom dynamic mapping and action blocks. At this time, our built-in action blocks that use dynamic mapping will not support subitems!
  • The trigger must also be within the subitem board in order to trigger this dynamic mapping support.

We know that there is still much more that needs to be done for full support of subitems in dynamic mapping. As such, we welcome all of your feedback and thoughts!

Happy building~

Hi!

How can we make use of this feature? I can’t quite figure out how to allow our users to configure dynamic mapping for the sub-item columns, and not the main columns, in our custom recipes.

The Monday.com interface always seems to prompt our users to map fields to the main columns, and not sub-item columns.

Thank you!

Hello there @ilareguy!

Would you please send a full explanation (and hopefully a screen recording) of the flow you are trying to achieve and the blocker you see to appsupport@monday.com so we can take a closer look?

Looking forward to hearing from you 🙂

Cheers,
Matias

Would it be possible to get some feedback on this?

We would also like to implement the Dynamic Mapping for subitems with outbound mapping such that the data for subitems is sent to our servers for processing.

Thank you
