Hi @lubos.husivarga this app reports subitems too? If yes, you can report main ítem and His subitems data?
Has anyone tried this yet? We export data to Excel then Import to another Excel file then create a PDF…this could save us a lot of time!
Hey @lubos.husivarga 👋
Thanks for sharing an awesoem app! I’m definitely curious how it would work, and this is a highly requested feature all around 🙂 I’m sure a lot of users would find this helpful.

Hey, nice app you made there 🙂
Hi @lubos.husivarga
Quick question.
I am trying to use Eledo to create pdf’s with dynamic content from monday.com
My question is - Can I pull dynamic imagens from a files column?
Each pulse from monday.com has a column with 2 or 3 images. I would like to pull these dynamic images to my document.
I can pull the dynamic text and links, but the imagens from the files column I can’t, not sure if I am doing something wrong.
If it is not possible, is that feature something in the plans? I am sure that would be very important not only for me but to a lot of people who use monday.com
Hi All,
thanks for your questions and suggestions which helped us to improve! Also thanks @AlexSavchuk and @TMNXT-Dev for your appretiation!
Eledo now can:
We have updated our public template to demonstrate new features: Simple Board Item report for Monday.com
Added quick guide to help you with Monday columns to Eledo data expressions mapping: Monday to Eledo PDF data mapping
And created a tool to retrieve Monday column’s technical names from your Board: Monday Board Data Structure tool
I hope new resources makes your life with Eledo easier, if not just let me know! @Aksalano you are welcome to try it, we provide free account and helpdesk as well.
@lubos.husivarga,
Yes I did sign up and attempted to use Eledo, unfortunately I could not figure it out, 2 reasons for that, 1st I am not familiar with what’s required to construct the form, 2nd there is not too much instructional info to help get started, some video’s would be great.
I believe that an app / tool that can easily export your data into a PDF is a very large benefit to users…hopefully the few apps available continue to rapidly develop and become very easy to use.
Maybe in the near future I will make a second attempt.
Having a similar issue. I am able to make the template and create the integration, but when it runs it doesn’t put the information that I provided into the document.
It seems like the service is not quite there yet, but hopefully will be able to roll out all the way since this is one of the big features I’m really missing out on with monday.
Eledo looks great! Another alternative is DocuGen, a monday.com native app that allows you to create all sorts of documents (with or without templates) straight from your monday.com boards with the click of a button (or automatically with automations.)
Install it free from here: docugen.io
@lubos.husivarga We’ve been trying to use your app, but have encountered problems integrating image files on to the PDF.
We have only one file column that contains png’s (column QR):

Please let us know how to got about this!
Hi @Yu1992
you are very close to the right solution! In monday the files column is an array type and it can contain one or more file attachments. To print first image only you will need to use following data expression in dynamic image component:
property(first(item.files), “url”)
you can also use QR code component to render it natively in PDF. Data expression for it should point to a text, which will be encoded into QR code. For example URL can be encoded directly.
Hope it helps!
Lubos
@lubos.husivarga thanks a lot for your quick reply!!
PART 1:
Just to make sure i understand correctly, are you saying that it is only possible to display images with URL’s?
When we try to edit a dynamic image, it gives us two option types: URL & Images
In the case of QR’s, I was able to follow your instructions and generate it automatically based off of a link column in monday (quickly generated off of an automation through a monday app).
However, it is more tedious to generate links based off of other images. Is it possible to insert images off of a “File Column” or does it have to be from a “Link Column”?
PART 2
Is it possible to extract the content of a column if the column type is:
- FORMULA (grab the numeric result of a formula?)
- STATUS (grab the text of the selected status?)
** in case it isnt possible, do you know if there is any way to work around it? maybe by creating dummy variables/columns??
When we edit the template, the variable exists, but when we generate the PDF, those variable results arent visible.
Thanks sooo much in advance!!!
Hi @Yu1992
Eledo is using monday API to retrieve column data and images. Since API does not transfer images in binary form, it provides a one time URL which is used by Eledo to download your image attached to monday item. Because of this you need to provide an URL to a dynamic image component in Eledo template.
You can also encode your image url as a QR code, but those image URLs coming from monday are one time and expires within 1 hour, so they are useless for the purpose of QR code encoding. If you would like to share an image URL via QR code then you will need to use some image hosting service which provides you a long term image URL. I am not sure whether there is any image sharing feature in monday, please let me know if yes and we can have a look.
Content of FORMULA column is not possible to print, because of limitation in monday API, but a workaround exists - you can write an Eledo data expression which calculates the same value as your formula in monday. Please contact Eledo Helpdesk if you need help with this.
Status column should be working, just use Text box and put your status column as data expression.
In Eledo you can create also custom variables, but in connection to monday they will remain empty, if they are not derived from monday columns. This makes sense, because only data source for your Eledo PDF is your monday board 🙂
Hope it helps!
Lubos
Thanks a bunch! Should i contact Eledo at Contact | eledo.online for help with writing an Eledo data expression as you indicated? Or is there another way i can contact the helpdesk??
@lubos.husivarga nvm just found the support button once logging onto eledo :B
Hi @Aksalano, @Knowa, and all,
I am pleased to announce we’ve made it and our integration is now public in monday marketplace.
We are working on video tutorials to explain all the Eledo features. Here is the first one explaining basics of PDF document creation with Eledo:
Please let me know, whether you like the format. Any suggestions are welcome!
Best Regards,
Lubos
@lubos.husivarga Video looks great as well as the improvements 👍🏻 , I am excited to try it! We are overhauling many or our boards currently, I will plan to add this to our changes, if it works as shown it is exactly what we are looking for, click a button and generate a PDF of our data. Keep up the great work! 👏🏼
Im getting a weird bug when I try to paste dynamic dates from my board to my eledo template all dates look fine being that I have formated them to date with the following format: DD/MM/YYYY.
But in one of the dates in the middle of the document I’m getting an extra 0 between the two digits of the day.
Also I’m not getting the results of formula columns in my documents is this supposed to happen? Isn’t it compatible yet?
Best regards
Hello @gionervo
Dates from monday are transfered as a plain text at the moment, so they should print the same as they are in your board. I assume you’ve used a to_date function to convert it to a date and then tried to print in different format? It would be great to see your data expression to help, or you can contact Eledo Helpdesk for a quicker response (sorry for late reply 😦 )
Formula columns are not transfered at all because we can’t retrieve them from monday API. Workaroud exists and you can calculate the same value with data expressions in Eledo template, if not please contact Eledo Helpdesk again 🙂
Best Regards,
Lubos Husivarga
Hello all,
I would like to share with you 2 new quick video guides to show how you can print images into PDF document or fill in PDF Forms directly from your monday board!
Do you think it’s powerful as we do? Feel free to get in touch if you need more information!
Best Regards,
Lubos Husivarga
@lubos.husivarga amazing update!!!
@lubos.husivarga how you can encode the item URL directly???
what is the expression to call when you configure the QR data?
Yes you can use QR Code component with data expression to create QR code which points to your monday item. The data expression looks like this:
CONCAT("https://yourcompany.monday.com/boards/", id, "/pulses/", item.id)
Don’t forget to replace ‘yourcompany’ in the URL with your account name.
Eledo looks like a great addition to Monday.com. I was just looking at the pricing plans for Eledo, and has the following question. Regarding the document amount per plan, is this the amount of document you can create a month?
