best approach, button on a board which when clicked will load a group and items

hello community -I’m totally new to Monday, so apologies in advance if this is really silly.

In my head… I’m hoping to add a button to a board. When a user clicks this button a webhook goes off with some data (board id, some report identifier). Somewhere else through the API this board is then updated with a new group, and some items that come from another system added to this group.

this seems super straight forward to me…but there seem so many ways of doing things, and approaches, that I’m lost.

Is it possible to have a button on a board? We don’t want a button in groups, or items. It would just be a button on the board that said “Refresh” or “Update” with the above then taking place -presumably really quite fast, but that’s not important right now

again, apologies if this is easy/silly!

Hello there @budg1e and welcome to the community!

I hope you like it here :muscle:

You can not add a button to an entire board directly in the UI (in the board itself)

But you can use something like this where you can create your own small view with a button as you describe.

I hope that helps!

Cheers,
