Events for subitems in parent context listener

Hello, there!

I was looking for a solution on how to receive events about sub-item changes in the parent context, and found this closed topic.

A small quote for a broader context

monday.listen(“events”) not quite working with subitems.
I’m sure dev team aware of it, just wanted to have some roadmap or estimation, when it will work?
Currently, there is no event when the subitem is updated. And when new subitem has been added the generated “event” is for the parent item update, with all subitems, so it’s impossible (afaik) to detect actual new subitem.

Do monday team have any updates or workarounds to solve this problem?

Best regards,
Dima

Hello there @DKostochko,

What are you trying to achieve exactly?

There is a webhook for when a column value changes in a subitem:

Hello @Matias.Monday!

A small comment to clarify.
The front end application retrieves the activity log for the main board and looks for changes for sub-items. Is it possible?

This kind of integration (webhook) was designed to integrate server applications, and in my case it doesn’t suitable.

Hello again @DKostochko,

It is possible to retrieve the activity logs of subitems. Subitems “live” in a different board than the parent items.

You can use a query like this one to get the board ID of the subitems ID:

{
  boards(ids: 123456789) {
    items (limit: 10) {
      subitems {
	  board{
        id
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

And then you can use that board ID to query for the activity logs:

{
  boards(ids:22334455){
    activity_logs{
      event
      data
    }
  }
}

Hello, @Matias.Monday!

Thank you for replay!
In some ways it looks like a solution, but it is a bit “expensive” and not very convenient to use in my case.

Best regards,
Dima
