I need to read the configurations of the active automations on a board, from an itemview.
How?
Hello there @dvdsmpsn,
Just to be sure I understand what you need. What pieces of information are you expecting to get from the active integrations/automations?
Say we have the following integration recipe configured for our board:
I’d like to know the values of each of the fields in the automation.
So in this case:
- Sharepoint site
- source folder
- target folder
Granted I don’t have a ton of experience in the Monday ecosystem but I was searching the API for this the other day and I don’t think Monday exposes automation data via the API at all.
Asked their docs AI as well and the result was the same.
@bradfoster @Matias.Monday Oh, that massively sucks if true.
I have an item view which depends on an automation having already been configured and running.
For items where the automation has run once, thats great. They get automatically configured.
For items where an automation has not already run, I’'d like to display an intelligent default view based on the configurations of the active automation.
So I need to be able to retrieve
- the automation name/id/key and match it with my app
- any field configurations from the automation
Hello again @dvdsmpsn,
What you are trying to do can not be done at the moment.
You would need for the integration to be triggered in order for the information to reah your endpoint (the one from your custom action).
I invite you to create a request for this here 
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Cheers,
Matias
Hi @Matias.Monday thank you for clarifying this.
It looks like every time the automation is triggered, I’ll have to save the configuration for later use. I guess that’s a work around which will help me achieve what I need, but yeah, I think I’ll open a feature request.

@Matias.Monday Am I understanding correctly that we are not able to see which automations are associated with a board using the API (or any other tool available to us)?
Hello again @SecretSauce,
That is correct. The API can not proactively retrieve the automations associated with a board. You can not do that via the SDK or another dev tool either.
Hmm. @Matias.Monday this sounds like it could be a useful feature request perhaps 
I mean it must be possible as the UI can display these, so it has to be a private api at the moment.
