Product updates

Today marks a big milestone for all of us! 🚨 We’re so excited to announce the brand new doc actions feature that allows you to build apps that users can access in workdocs. This feature bridges the gap between the marketplace and workdocs by bringing app capabilities to a previously untouched monday.com product. As a developer, you can now access an entirely new market, ideally leading to increased app exposure, adoption, and usage. The opportunities are endless, and it will help foster innovation in our marketplace. You can use the doc actions feature to: Generate content from a user’s prompt using AI Translate content to other languages Retrieve data from other sources Reformat/restyle content As part of this release, we’ve created new APIs and SDK methods to enable easier interactions with workdocs. Our documentation can also help you further understand the doc actions feature and build your own app on top of workdocs. This sky is the limit with the doc actions feature, so let’s get to building! 🛠️

We recently expanded the create_group and update_group mutations! 😎 You can now use the position argument or attribute to create a new group with a specific position or update a group’s position. A group’s position is determined using a string with a numeric value. The higher the number, the lower the group sits; the lower the number, the higher the group sits. If you send any special characters or letters, the group will automatically go to the top of the board. You will get an error if you send a number instead of a string. Check out our examples to see it in action. Happy positioning!

We’ve heard your feedback and are bringing back the ability to name column IDs with a new system behavior! 👏 Starting February 13th, if you create a column via the API with a title of 20 characters or less, the column ID will relate to the title. For example, if your column title is This is my column, then the column ID will be this_is_my_column. If your title is more than 20 characters, the system will randomly generate a column ID based on the column_type and an ongoing index. It will not be related to the column title. This update will only impact new columns, not existing ones. We understand this may be a breaking change for some developers who previously relied on our column naming convention, so please implement this new behavior accordingly!

We’re back with another awesome new feature to share with our community! 🚀 The brand new Installed outside the marketplace section on the Installed apps page contains any apps developed on your account and apps that were installed but not necessarily developed on your account (like apps shared with you). This new space provides a simple way for users to access an app that was shared with them (that isn’t in the marketplace), as well as a place for app developers to test their user onboarding experience before their app enters the marketplace!

We recently released an app ideas page to help you find inspiration for your next app! 🚀 Here you can find an idea board that compiles app ideas requested by customers into one place. You can start building an app based on one of these ideas or simply use it as an example of how a good app idea looks! You can also read through the user personas to further understand monday.com customers, their pain points, and what they need from an app. This page is a valuable tool that can help you kickstart your developer journey with monday. Check it out today! 😎

We recently fixed unexpected API behavior that returned all users after running a teams query with an empty array for the ids argument. Now, if you send an empty array, it will return no users. query { teams (ids:[]) { id } }

Starting April 15th, 2023, we will deprecate connections from Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8.1, or earlier because they use weak ciphers. This update will not impact support for TLS 1.3. Check out this document to find out which systems this update impacts, how to know if you are affected, and which ciphers you can use!

Are you looking for your next app idea? Check out the all new Ideas page in our site! You will find great information about who our monday users (and your future customers) are, what pain points we see, common use cases and most used tools. We even have a board full of awesome ideas for apps! You’ll find some app ideas that come from customer feedback. Take an idea and develop it to make it your own or use it as an example of how good ideas can look!

EDITED! CHECK NEW TIME! Hello everyone! We have been sharing questions, issues and ideas with you a lot, and we realized that in many cases developers are not sure 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, January 18th at 11:00 EST (WE MOVED THIS FROM 10:00 EST) for our “The Road to the Apps Marketplace” webinar!

We are excited to announce the brand-new custom object feature! 😎 This feature allows you to create a view outside the context of a board, item, or dashboard. It will live independently in the left-pane menu, making your app more visible to account users. You also get more real estate on the monday platform, as anything displayed as a custom object will span the entire screen (except for the title and top header). The process remains the same to implement this view, but you cannot use monday’s native settings. Check out our documentation to learn more!

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!

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!
