(Dis)Connecting (dash)boards trough API and/or SDK

Hello there, thanks for reading.

We’d like to automatically connect and disconnect boards to/from a dashboard. This is ideally based on a custom integration-recipe. Within this integration recipe we’ll be able to use both the SDK and the API-calls.

After reading the documentation for a while and a bit of experimenting with the API-playground, I could not find a definitive answer to my questions: if this is possible and how to do this.

Help would be very much appreciated!

Hello there @MGM and welcome to the community!

I hope you like it here :muscle:

If I understand correctly what you are trying to do, you want to connect/disconnect a board to a dashboard using a recipe (have a trigger that when the event occurs, it connects/disconnects the board).

There is no way of doing that as of today since we do not have a native action for that and that action is also not available to be performed via API.

Let me know if you have any other questions :slightly_smiling_face:

Cheers,
Matias

Hello there @Matias.Monday,

Thank you alot for your swift reply. This has raised some new questions:
Is this point currently under development by any chance?

Can you please verify that, when I’m using the SDK and creating a custom dashboard view, I’ll still be able to get and view practically all the data within the monday-environment (as long as i need it, without any other steps in between).

My other guess to solve my issue would be writing RPA, but I try to stay away from these solutions due to high margin of error and maintenance. – what are your thoughts about this?

Hello again @MGM!

It looks like this feature will not be available any time soon.

You can check our changelogs for the API and for the apps framework. We announce changes here!

I did not understand your question about viewing “practically all” the data. Can you please elaborate on that?

I do not have experience with RPA and do not know about accounts using it so I would not be able to provide an opinion about it.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Cheers,
Matias
