Product updates

We’ve recently made a few changes to the boards object! The new add_teams_to_board mutation allows you to add teams to a board. We have deprecated the add_subscribers_to_board mutation. You can instead use the add_users_to_workspace or add_users_to_board mutations!

We recently added the country_code field to the account object. It will return the two-letter country code where the first account admin is located. Check out our documentation to learn more!

As a reminder, we expose our GraphQL schema here. You can use it to validate inputs and responses to help you build with monday. Check it out!

Hello everyone, Me and my team have been interacting with you guys a lot, and we realized that developers don’t know what to expect in their journeys when building an app with us. Let’s change that! I want to invite you to join us on Thursday, December 15th at 10:00 EST for our “The road to the apps marketplace” webinar 🎉 In this webinar, I will talk about the path to adding an app to the marketplace, and the great opportunity developers have here! Topics: Current status of the apps marketplace How to come up with a great idea for an app App features Pricing and monetization Building and review process Please complete this short registration form if you would like to attend. I hope to see you there!

We added a new field and argument to the users object to expand its functionality: The last_activity field returns the last date and time the user was active. The name argument allows you to conduct a fuzzy search of users by name. Check out all of the details about these updates in our documentation!

We recently released the app settings view, which provides a global location to display an app’s settings! This feature is not a traditional view but functions similarly by enabling developers to render any content inside an iframe. Users can access this view using the Settings tab on the Installed apps page. They can also select the Go to app settings button in View settings or click on their profile picture > Admin > Apps > three dots (…) > Settings. These buttons will open the Settings tab on the Installed apps page. A standalone modal with the settings view will open up if your app isn’t listed on the marketplace. Checkout our quickstart guide to learn how to implement this new feature!

Join us on Wednesday, December 7th, at 11:00 AM EST for the monday App Marketplace Monetization webinar! In the session, @alessandra will cover monetization set-up requirements, feature benefits, and how to implement it. Please complete this short registration form if you would like to attend. We hope to see you there!

Due to popular demand, we recently released a new mutation that allows you to update a group! You can view this mutation’s details, including the code samples, arguments, and accepted attribute values, in our documentation. Happy updating! mutation { update_group (board_id: 12345678, group_id: "today", group_attribute: color, new_value: "red") { id } }

As a reminder, we will turn phone column validations back on starting December 1st, 2022! Please ensure that your phone numbers follow the appropriate format to avoid errors and losing data. You can find examples to help you structure your numbers correctly in the phone column doc.

We recently made bug fixes that impact the items_by_column_values object: The list returned using the created_at field will appear in reverse chronological order, with the most recent dates first. Using pagination, you can return 1,000 items per page and 10,000 items overall. Any queries above these limits will fail. For example, a query with a limit of 1,000 that tries to return 11 pages of results will fail (1,000 * 11 = 11,000).

Soon, the creation of an item by an automation or integration will stop triggering the “Column Changes” trigger on columns of type status, dropdown & people. If you are affected by this, you should implement the required changes to your code. The change will be opened gradually, starting December 5th, so your code should be ready by then.

You can now update the people column with an email address by sending a string with the column’s new value. Check out the code sample below! mutation { change_simple_column_value(item_id: 123456789, board_id: 987654321, column_id: "person", value: "user@monday.com") { id } }

We’ve added four new fields to the workspaces object: settings returns the workspaces settings owners_subscribers returns the workspaces owner’s team_subscribers returns the teams subscribed to the workspace users_subscribers returns the users subscribed to the workspace Check out our workspaces doc to find out more!

We recently added the workspace_ids argument to the boards object that filters boards within the specified workspace(s). Read more about the workspace_ids argument in our boards doc!

Last week, we started validating inputs on the phone column. Many of our devs faced issues, so we have temporarily shut off the phone column validation to give extra time to adjust to the change. We will turn the validation back on beginning December 1st, 2022. The API will then validate whether or not the phone number is valid, includes a 2-letter country code, and matches the specified country code’s number criteria. You can refer to our phone column doc to see up-to-date examples! Please follow this structure to avoid losing data and errors starting December 1st.

We’ve recently made bug fixes that strictly validate column values in the API. Sending unexpected or invalid values will return an error. Make sure you review and implement the updates before then! The bug fixes will impact the following columns: Country column: The API will now strictly validate the country name. Dependency column: The API will now only accept valid item IDs. Dropdown column: The API value will now be case-sensitive. Long text column: The API will have a hard limit of 2,000 characters. Number column: The API will accept negative numbers. People column: The API will now validate whether or not the input ID is a valid person or team. To avoid errors, ensure you don’t have any typos and follow these new validation fixes!

Hello everyone! Starting April 27th 2023 the users query will work with a page argument when a limit is provided. If the page argument is not provided, it will default to page: 1. This will work in the same way as it does today with the boards or items queries.

Hello everyone! There has been a change in the complexity points usage for the teams object. In the past, the complexity usage for teams was working as if each query was retrieving information from only one team. The complexity is now based on the amount of teams that are queried. If IDs are not provided, the query will assume that there are 1000 teams, each with 1000 users being retrieved. We suggest using the IDs of the different teams in your queries if you are running into complexity points usage issues. You can use one query to get your teams’ IDs and a second one to query for data from those teams, using the IDs as a parameter.

Hello everyone! We have now released to 100% of monday accounts, the ability to choose to install apps from the marketplace in specific workspaces (1 or more of them) or in all of the account’s workspaces. The accounts now have more control over which workspaces an app has access to. The app will only be able access data from the specified workspaces so it only gets the information it needs to function 💪
