Product updates

In the next few weeks, we will stop supporting major and minor app versioning and only offer one app version. This new version functions like a minor version and will automatically be pushed to users, but it allows you to do everything you previously could in major versions (e.g., changing scopes, deleting features, etc.). The main changes include: App feature deprecation and un-deprecation User approval for updated permissions App view banners to communicate with users This new versioning mechanism will be available for new apps starting January 31st, 2024. Existing apps will continue versioning with major and minor versions until February 11th, 2024, and at that point, they will be automatically migrated to the new versioning mechanism. Existing app developers are not required to create a new version as part of this migration. All previous app version numbering will remain the same, but the next version you create will utilize sequential numbering. You can read more about versioning here.

You may have noticed that our API documentation looks a little different… 👀 We’ve been updating the docs to create a more straightforward and user-friendly experience - starting with the site navigation. The API documentation has been split into two sections as part of these updates: API reference and guides. The API reference section houses docs about every object, argument, and field you can query or mutate using the API. You can now search inside the API reference docs themselves to return smaller batches of more relevant results. The Guides section contains all the other important information to know when using the API like versioning, introduction to GraphQL, and error codes. You can easily flip between the two sections (+ the changelog) using the dropdown pictured below ⚡

📢We are thrilled to unveil a new feature that will take your marketplace apps to the next level. Say hello to the Demo Experience! 🚀 What is the Demo Experience? The Demo Experience is a powerful tool that enables you to create immersive demo environments for your marketplace apps. This game-changing capability allows potential users to get a hands-on experience of the core functionalities of your app without the hassle of installation, admin approval, or granting access to account data. What value Deme experience can give you 🔎 A Seamless App Exploration: With the Demo Experience, users can try out your app safely and securely, ensuring they find the right fit right away. 🕐 Reduced Time to Value: The Demo Experience greatly accelerates the decision-making process, allowing users to experience firsthand the benefits of your app and increasing the chances of them becoming long-term users. 🫱 Enhanced Decision Making: By providing users with a real-life experience of your app, they can make more informed decisions about its relevance to their specific needs. ✅ Streamlined Approval Process: Allows users to present a solid case to their administrators, making the approval and installation process smoother than ever before. We believe that this feature will revolutionize the way users interact with marketplace apps, providing an immersive experience that will drive them to install and use the app. Next steps: Here is our suggested implementation strategy! Watch @dipro video and/or read the documentation to get all the details you need (ETA- 10 minutes). Set a time for you and your team to brainstorm on the most effective way to showcase your app value (in the shortest time to value) using a demo experience. Implement the demo experience technically for your app (ETA differ between apps). Excited to see your demo’s experience 😊

We recently added two new mutations that allow you to add or remove users from a team. These are available in API versions 2024-01 and later! mutation { add_users_to_team (team_id: 7654321, user_ids: [123456, 654321, 012345]) { successful_users { name email } failed_users { name email } } } mutation { remove_users_from_team (team_id: 7654321, user_ids: [123456, 654321, 012345]) { successful_users { name email } failed_users { name email } } }

Hi all, Nimrod from the monday design team here. On Feb 5th, we’re bringing our magic touch to monday products and kicking off a design and experience event. Have you ever encountered confusing texts, unexpected behaviors, broken UI, or screens that need a fresh new look? Share your feedback with us in the comments below (+screenshots) and be part of shaping a better Monday. What are we looking for? While we love getting ideas from you on new features, this time we’re focusing on improving the existing experience. Here are some examples: I expected a button to do X, but it actually does Y. This text color makes it hard to read. This layout doesn’t work well on my small screen. I don’t understand this description. I use this feature a lot and I wish I could access it more easily. Let’s make monday.com a perfect(er) place together!

App users should reach out via the monday.com support center as usual. This transition is aimed at improving the support process and enhancing your overall developer experience with our API and app marketplace!

We rebuilt our monday tunnel functionality from the ground up! It connects your development environment to the monday apps framework, via a public URL. Generate one with the mapps tunnel:create command. The tunnel has the following NEW features: A static URL - Tunnel URL that stays the same no matter how many times you restart the tunnel Improved reliability - We use ngrok to deliver the core tunneling functionality Compatible with all samples - All our welcome apps now use the new tunnel when running in development mode Note: to use the tunnel, you need to install the apps CLI and initialize it with your API key.

We’re excited to introduce the first release of the new year - workspace app features! This new app feature enables you to build apps that work across the workspace level to compile the workspace’s data in one place! We currently support one workspace app feature called a workspace view. These apps will live in the left-side menu under the Workspace apps dropdown. If the user doesn’t have any workspace apps installed, the dropdown will not appear. When a user opens the app, it will open a separate view in the main window. You can read more about the app feature in our documentation. Happy building!

2024 is just around the corner, and we have some very exciting changes planned for the year… As part of those updates, the Workflow app feature will be renamed to Integration templates, and it will now fall under the Automation Builder label instead of Integration 💥 These changes are effective immediately and apply to both new and existing app features, but don’t worry - this update requires no action from you. Happy new year! 🎊

We recently added a new field, argument, and mutation related to teams in version 2024-01 🚀 Check out each update below! New team_owners_subscribers field on workspaces queries New delete_teams_from_board mutation New kind argument on add_teams_to_board

We’ve recently added seven new commands to make your monday.com app development experience easier: mapps tunnel:create to create a networking tunnel to publicly expose code running on the local machine mapps app-features:build to create a new app feature build mapps app-features:list to list all features for a specific app version mapps app-version:builds to list all builds for a specific app version mapps app:list to list all apps for a specific user mapps storage:search to search keys and values stored on monday for a specific customer account mapps storage: export to export all keys and values stored on monday for a specific customer account You can read more about each command and see examples in our documentation!

You may have noticed something new in the context of all view-based app features (or you can check it out here)… We recently added the themeConfig property to provide insight into the current custom theme applied within the monday.com platform. This information enables you to align your app’s color scheme with that of the platform’s custom theme. Using the ThemeProvider in our Vibe design system, you can maintain visual coherence with the platform and provide an overall better user experience! { "themeConfig": { // defines the color scheme and styling configuration for the app, may be "undefined" if the default theme is used "name": "crm-product-theme", "colors": { "light": { "primary-color": "#007f9b", "primary-hover-color": "#006278", "primary-selected-color": "#bee3e8", "primary-selected-hover-color": "#d4ebef", "brand-colors": { "brand-color": "#007f9b", "brand-hover-color": "#006278", "text-color-on-brand": "#ffffff" } }, "dark": { "primary-color": "#007f9b", "primary-hover-color": "#006278", "primary-selected-color": "#004858", "primary-selected-hover-color": "#003844", "brand-colors": { "brand-color": "#007f9b", "brand-hover-color": "#006278", "text-color-on-brand": "#ffffff" } }, "black": { "primary-color": "#007f9b", "primary-hover-color": "#006278", "primary-selected-color": "#004858", "primary-selected-hover-color": "#003844", "brand-colors": { "brand-color": "#007f9b", "brand-hover-color": "#006278", "text-color-on-brand": "#ffffff" } } } }, "boardId": 4213911112, // unique board ID "boardIds": [4213911112], // list of connected boards "boardViewId": 122234064, // unique board view ID "viewMode": "fullScreen", // or "split" or "widget" "instanceId": 122234064, // unique instance ID for the feature on the board "instanceType": "board_view", // app feature type "workspaceId": 2581779, "theme": "light", // or "dark" or "black" "account": { "id": "1233" }, "user": { "id": "28659824", "isAdmin": false, // or true "isGuest": false, // or true "isViewOnly": false, // or true "countryCode": "IL", "currentLanguage": "en", "timeFormat": "12H", // or "24H" "timeZoneOffset": 2 // timezone offset based on GMT }, "region": "use1", // availability zone ID "app": { "id": 10089476, "clientId": "78643ruyagduyg743tyr812uygd74" }, "appVersion": { "id": 10124592, "name": "context printer", "status": "draft", "type": "major", "versionData": { "major": 1, "minor": 0, "patch": 0, "type": "major" } }, "appFeature": { "type": "AppFeatureBoardView", "name": "context printer - v1.0.0" } }

We recently introduced a hotfix to 2023-10 that returns "" instead of null for most empty column values when querying the text field through column_values V2. This hotfix aligns the 2023-10 behavior to what was returned in 2023-07. Each column does NOT have the same expected behavior. It is essential to check out the column types reference to verify the expected result for each column. The list below summarizes the expected behavior: Most columns will return "" if the column is empty; otherwise, they’ll return the column value as text Mirror, connect boards, and dependency columns will always return null monday doc columns will always return "" Color picker, status, and dropdown columns will return null if the column is empty; otherwise, they’ll return the column value as text Some other columns (e.g., vote) will return a default value if the column is empty

Although 2023 is winding down, our roadmap plans aren’t—and there’s a lot to be excited about in the coming months. We’ve been listening a lot and it’s generated amazing new features and capabilities, like monday Code, expanded sales info, and a conversion-boosting sandbox capability. Check your mail box for our developer newsletter, read and learn, and ask us any questions you might have in the comments.

Webhooks will now return the current pricing version ID in the pricing_version field for free plans. Previously, the field would return null. Check out the sample payload below, and you also can read more about webhooks in our documentation! type: "install", data: { app_id: 1000000000, user_id: 2, user_email: "user1@users.com", user_name: "User 1", user_cluster: "other", account_tier: "free", account_max_users: 10000, account_id: 777777, account_name: "Demo Account", account_slug: "test", version_data: { major: 4, minor: 5, patch: 0, type: "minor" }, timestamp: "2023-06-26T00:00:00.000+00:00", subscription: { plan_id: "5", renewal_date: "2023-07-10T00:00:00+00:00", is_trial: false, billing_period: "monthly", days_left: 14, pricing_version: 5 }, user_country: "IL" }

The new pricing_version field on app_subscription queries returns the subscription’s pricing version. This field is only available on API versions 2024-01 and later. query { app_subscription { pricing_version billing_period renewal_date } }

We just added the direction and symbol fields on the NumbersValue implementation. You can use these fields to return information about the symbols used in Numbers columns. Check out the details here! Please note that the NumbersValue implementation is only available in API version 2023-10 and later. Sample query query { items (ids:[9876543210]) { column_values { ... on NumbersValue { number id symbol direction } } } } Returns { "data": { "items": [ { "column_values": [ { "number": 10, "id": "numbers", "symbol": "$", "direction": "left" } ] } ] }, "account_id": 1234567 }

Hey developers! We have an important update regarding the creation of workspace templates on our platform. Previously, there were no limits on the number of entities included in a workspace template. While this allowed for significant flexibility, it also had some drawbacks. One major concern with unlimited entities was the potential for overloading the system, resulting in decreased performance and reliability. This was particularly noticeable during the installation phase, which heavily relies on the number of entities within the app. To address this issue, we have decided to set a limit on the number of entities included in an app 50 boards, dashboards, and documents in each workspace template. Up to 10K items across all boards. If you have an app that exceeds this limit it will still be able to be installed, but it will not be able to be upgraded to the latest version unless reduced below the limitations. New apps will be forced to mind the publishing limitation. When should you expect that to change? Dec 23rd 2023 We ask that you review your apps and ensure they fall within this updated constraint. By implementing this limit, we aim to improve system responsiveness and maintain a reliable experience for all users. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping our platform optimized.

We just added the section query parameter that enables you to create a custom URL that opens a specific section of your app listing page. Your custom URL can open directly on the Overview, Pricing, Security & Compliance, or Permissions tab. Check out our documentation for examples!

In API version 2023-10 and later, you can add the ids argument to an updates query to retrieve a specific update(s) using its ID. You can use the argument when querying updates at the root or while nested under boards or items. Please note that when nesting updates in a boards or items query, the ids argument will only return updates matching the ID that are also related to the board or item. The following example would only return information about update 9876543210 on item 1234567890. query { items (ids: 1234567890) { updates (ids: 9876543210) { body created_at } } }

We’re excited to introduce two new app subscription webhooks: The app_subscription_renewal_attempt_failure webhook will be sent to developers when a subscription renewal attempt fails. The attempt will occur once before the entire renewal operation fails and you receive the app_subscription_renewal_failure webhook. The app_subscription_renewal_failure webhook will be sent to developers when a subscription renewal attempt fails. The failure occurs after one renewal attempt. You can read more about our available webhooks here!

The new app_installs object allows you to retrieve your app’s installation data through the API. Your query can return most of the same installation information sent through webhooks. This new object is available in API versions 2024-01 and later. Check out our documentation for more info! query { app_installs (app_id: 123456789, limit: 1, page: 1) { app_id timestamp app_install_account { id } app_install_user { id } app_version { major minor patch type text } } }

We’re excited to announce that you can now host your applications on monday’s servers using monday code! Releasing this to beta is the first step in making the monday.com development process as easy and self-contained as possible. As an added bonus, marketplace apps hosted on monday code will also be eligible for an advanced security badge in the future. To use this feature, you’ll need to: Enable it in your developer account Use our CLI to deploy your code Install @mondaycom/apps-sdk to use our secure storage, logging, and environment manager in your app You can check out the full guide here!

Marketplace developers - this one is for you! Starting tomorrow, the minimum threshold for app ratings to appear in the marketplace will increase from 3 to 5! This means that the average rating will not be visible to marketplace users for any apps with less than 5 ratings. If your app has fewer than 5 ratings, users will still see your app card but it won’t have the average score on it. If your app has more than 5 ratings, users will see a star and the average score of all ratings listed on the app card. Check out our documentation for ways to help increase the number of ratings your app has received!
