Our quickstart-integrations template uses a 3rd party service called localtunnel to set up a local testing environment. It is currently down, which means you’ll wait endlessly for the app to generate a tunnel URL. But we have a workaround for you! The workaround uses a different service called ngrok to create the local environment. Here are some steps to make it work – the steps assume you’ve already created an app from the template (instructions here). Step 1: Install and sign up for ngrok Global install: Download it from ngrok.com. or Local install: Run npm install ngrok to install only in this repo. You will still need to sign up at ngrok.com. Step 2: Create an ngrok tunnel on the port of your choice Run the following code to start the tunnel. Local install: npx ngrok http 8302 or Global install: ngrok http 8302 Step 3: Comment out the createTunnel() function Comment out createTunnel() in src/app.js (line 13). This will prevent the app from using localtunnel (so we can use ngrok instead). Here’s a screenshot: Step 4: Replace the ngrok URL in your app You can now copy the ngrok URL and add it to your app (in the base URL section). Step 5: Run your app Run your app using npm run start. It should work as normal!

Later this year, we will be adding new limits to the root Items query: The ids argument is now required You cannot return more than 100 items per query This change will go into effect on Sunday, October 3rd, so please review your applications’ API usage to prevent any loss of functionality. We recently added a rate limit to this use case, so you may have already adjusted your code to account for this! We will remove references to this feature in our docs, but if you spot a mention that we missed shoot us a message at appsupport@monday.com. Examples of unsupported queries Queries without the ids argument: query { items (limit:1000) { id name } } Queries with more than 100 IDs: query { items (ids:[1, 2, 3, 4, 5...99, 100, 101, 102]) { id name } } How should I respond to this change? You can adjust your queries in these main ways: Return items on a specific board only Nesting the items query inside Boards Looping through the boards on your account Query less than 100 items at a time Return items on a specific board You can return items only on a specific board, by ID. Here’s an example: query { boards (ids:12345) { id name items (limit:100) { id name } } } Nesting the items query inside Boards Queries without Items in the root will still work, so you can nest the items query within a boards query. Here’s an example: query { boards (limit:10) { items (limit:1000) { id name } } } Looping through the boards on your account If you are looking to return all items across your account, it is best practice to first query for the IDs of all the boards, and then get items a few boards at a time. For example: First, query for the IDs of all the boards. query { boards (limit:50) { id } } Second, query and loop through each board in the first query. query { boards (ids: 1234567890) { items (limit:50) { name id } } } Return less than 100 items at a time Finally, you can continue to use the same query but restrict the query to a list of item IDs. Here’s an example: query { items (ids: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5... 99]) { name column_values { id value } } }

We just finished our first Developer Success Q&A open zoom and it was a GREAT! 15 developers got into a room (virtually in this case) and talked about questions they had, issues and recommendations. On our side, we answered everything there was to answer and got a good amount of extremely insightful feedback that will of course be shared with our colleagues so that we can review it and improve! Thank you so much for participating 🙂 We can’t wait for the next one (Tuesday 15th, March, 17:00 GMT+2 by the way). You can book your spot here! See you there 💪

Today we hit a big milestone – board IDs in our platform became larger than 2147483647! Our users are creating more boards and workflows than ever! However, this comes with an issue: board IDs cannot be stored as integers anymore. More specifically, they are larger than the largest 32-bit signed int. If you are currently handling board IDs in your application as integers, you need to update your application to use another data type such as bigInt. You will also need to run migrations on any databases that store board IDs as integers, as they will fail to store any new board IDs. EDIT: Item IDs are also affected by this! As a best practice, please update all IDs to bigInt.

✨✨Hi everyone! We have made some changes to our API complexity rate limits that I wanted to share with you all.  For all apps, we have broken up complexity buckets for reads and writes to our API. Now, each action (read and write respectively) will have 5 million actions a minute each. You can test this out in your apps! Keep in mind: for all queries and mutations made in your Developer’s Playground area (i.e. with your admin token), the complexity limit will stay at 10 million a minute for both reads and writes. This means we only implemented the complexity buckets for apps . Here is an example of what you will see: It’s also important to note that if you query information back regarding the mutation that you made, the complexity budget of your mutation will be affected, not the complexity budget of your query. This means that if you need to query a lot of information back regarding the change that you made, it might be better to include an entirely separate query call after your mutation runs! I’m also happy to announce that we have added the ability for you to query the complexity field for your mutations in addition to your queries! It will work exactly like it does within queries, with a before, after, and reset_in_x_seconds fields. An example:  Try it out and as always, let us know of any and all of your feedback!

✨: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 everyone, I’m so pleased to announce that we now have a parent_item field for our subitems! As many of you know, before this addition you could query your subitem column values and you could query the subitem column in your parent items to see your subitem IDs, but there was no direct link between the two. In order to match the relevant subitem column values with the correct parent item them, this required a manual searching mechanism created by individual developers to match subitem IDs together. However, with the addition of this new parent_item field, you will be able to query your subitem column values and also be able to see the relevant parent item information for this subitem! Here is an example of how to use this field: query { boards(ids: 'YOUR_SUBITEM_BOARD_ID'){ items{ // all of the subitems on your subitem board id // your subitem IDs parent_item { id // the parent item IDs for each subitem column_values { // the column values of your parent items id value } } } } } Keep in mind that because querying subitems currently follows the same structure as querying parent items (i.e. you need to first find your subitem board ID, then use that subitem board ID to query your subitems normally), if you use the parent_item field on a parent item, the result will be null. Check out our updated API documentation on this method here. We hope this aids in your subitem queries. As always, let us know your thoughts on this new field. Happy building!
