Custom UI action for a button?

[dvdsmpsn (David @ David Simpson Apps)]

Hi @isaacsouza, I don’t think that’s possible right now.

One way that this could be made to happen in the future would be with the feature I’ve requested here:

Background script app feature

A background script is a hidden html+js page that would be able to listen to context changes and any client-side events that happen to a board, item, workdoc or dashboard. It allows your app to execute its functionality without adding unnecessary UI elements to the page. I can see several use cases for such an app feature, so actively encourage this as a new feature.

Vote it up!

The button press could trigger an event that the background script would listen for, and then the background script could contain the logic to do whatever is required on the client side.

In your case:

1. read the board item
2. read the column in the board item
3. perform an openLinkInTab from monday.execute based on the content of the column
