I’m trying to publish a post to instagram with a post being a row/item in a Monday table. The way I’m starting the flow is by selecting my app (Board Menu Item Feature) from the item menu.
Problem I’m running into is that I want to open up a modal with my app so I can go through the publishing workflow I have planned.
I’m using the monday.execute(“openAppFeatureModal”, {… which is opening the modal as you can see but it also opens up the standard Monday app window beside it (behind the modal). Is there a way for me to listen to the button click and open the modal only?
You can give yourself more real estate by adjusting the feature’s “Shape” in the feature setup page, but it won’t be the exact same experience as a modal.
Another option might be opening the modal and immediately closing the dialog behind it, but that gets into antipattern territory that might break in the future…
@dipro@andrest05 It would be great if the board menu item feature could be just a button click which sends a message to a background script app feature – requested here:
That would mean that the user would trigger the button press, and then the background script would listen for the message and take care of everything else.
The background script could do external calls, then open a modal or display a success/fail message.
It would also have details of the context from the item or items.
