Issue with Embedding Specific Board View Using Automation-Generated URLs

Hi everyone,

I’ve set up an automation where, when a label changes to “Create,” it triggers the creation of a new board. The automation then grabs the newly created board’s URL and inserts it into a Link column on the original item.

I also have a custom view set up using an embedded block, which is supposed to display the board using the URL from that Link column. However, I’m running into an issue:

  • When I use the standard board URL (e.g., https://myworkspace.monday.com/boards/123456789), the embedded block only shows the entire workspace, not the specific board.

  • When I manually copy the shareable board link and use that in the embedded block, it works perfectly and shows just the intended board. However, the downside is that its manual and not automated. If there is a way to grab the shareable link through api that would also be a good work around.

Is there something I’m missing when using the standard URL? Is there a way to programmatically retrieve the shareable board link instead of the default URL so the embedded view works as expected?

Thanks in advance!
