Hi @redearmedia

I had to find out the hard way that you need to create a webhook step to call the Monday.com API to get data from an individual column:

The Intuitive Management Tool - Developers

It will end up looking like this:

(remember to get your API key from Monday.com settings).

Also, you need to use the collumn's internal ID, not it's name in Monday.com. If you need help finding that, open this link in your browser:

https://api.monday.com/v1/boards/[boardidhere]/columns.json?api_key=[apikeyhere]

(replace [boardidhere] and [apikeyhere] accordingly)

You'll see this:

In this example, the column in Monday called "Reference Number" has a column ID of "text13"

Hope that helps!

@AndrewJDavison_Luhhu Thank you! I'm familiar with webhooks, but I've never used them in Zapier. What is your initial trigger that eventually leads to you calling the Monday.com webhook you've shown? I've been using "New Pulse on a Board in Monday".

@redearmedia

My particular zap triggered on a new updated added to a pulse (suited my usecase), but "New Pulse On Board" should also do fine.

It will give you the board ID and pulse ID you need for the webhook call.

@AndrewJDavison_Luhhu Thank you so much! Last question (I hope) -- do you need to do a separate GET request for each column you need? Or can you query multiple Monday columns with one call? E.g. if I want both an "ID" and a "Budget" from a pulse, do I need to do a separate webhook step for each piece?

@RealEstateGirlGuru - You do, I'm afraid!

Annoying, right?! I hope Monday.com improve their integration.

@AndrewJDavison_Luhhu You're a king among men! Thank you. Hopefully the v2 API is improved in this regard (and I hope Zapier deploys it in a reasonable amount of time).

@redearmedia - Zapier actually leaves apps to develop their own integrations (via zapier.com/platform/) so the fastest way to get this to happen is to let Monday.com support know.

@AndrewJDavison_Luhhu Oh! Yes, that makes more sense - cannot imagine a single dev team (no matter how large) being responsible for incorporating a world's worth of APIs. Thanks again! Cheers.

Hey Guys,

This thread has been really useful. We are an event space that takes bookings from event organisers. We use Monday.com as our CRM to log enquires and would like to automate these into a Google Sheet for the purposes of sharing with our wider team.

We are attempting to automate a Monday.com board into Google Sheets. We are however stuck at a point where anything we pull through into the Google Sheet comes out with the name of the column in each cell.

For example:

We have followed the advice in this thread but are stuck at this point. Our customised GET looks as such.

Can anybody advise where we may be going wrong??

Thanks,

The Hinterlands team

Hi

Hi @Hinterlands and hello again @AndrewJDavison_Luhhu!

It sounds like you may be populating the Sheet with the key rather than the value? As Andrew says, we'd need to see some sample data from that GET to confirm.

Hey @AndrewJDavison_Luhhu & @redearmedia,

Will do our best to provide examples - sorry we're very new to this sort of stuff.

Hope the below provides what you need to be able to help :)

The values are coming back as saying there is nothing there (null) when we update the date column on Monday.com, which is titled column id. date4.

Thanks for your help - think we're a little out of our depth

@Hinterlands

So, it's definitely the value field you should be mapping... but as to why it's showing null for you isn't clear.

It may be worth reaching out to the Monday.com team for help - we had a few problems with their API and they were super helpful. They should be able to tell you why it's returning null.

@AndrewJDavison_Luhhu I'm about to step out and don't have a minute to look at this, but I'm assuming you know API v1 fairly well? For my initial issue (the OP), I ended up building an API interface in v2 using GraphQL and bypassed Zapier.

EDIT: updated section 2

@Hinterlands the other thing we may need to see is your step where you populate a Spreadsheet Row in Google Sheets. I'd prefer to see that say "null" given this test data so that I knew it was using 'value' and not 'column_id'.

@Hinterlands / @redearmedia

One thing I did find is when I used GET to retrieve a formula column on my Monday.com board - that also came through null. It seems it can't pull back values for dynamic fields.

I'm wondering if this date field is the same?

New to Monday.com and surprised this zapier integration is so botched. The column values data is not even valid json, it’s a mess of random stuff jumbled together as far as I can see. Surprised Zapier would allow this to be live. Hopefully Monday team fixes soon.
