Product updates

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 💪

Hey everyone! A quick update – yesterday we updated the URL to the submission form for the monday app marketplace. The links in our documentation have been changed already, but just wanted to flag it here in case any of you have bookmarked the old one.

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 } } }
