Activity logs

Suggest Edits

Activity logs are records of all activities performed on a board. You can use them to see which actions were performed on your boards, when, and by whom.

As a developer working with monday.com, it is important to familiarize yourself with the activity_logs API so you know how to see activity on your boards. This document will walk you through the available queries to read the activity_logs object via the API.

Queries

Querying activity_logs returns a collection of activity logs from a specific board. This method accepts various arguments and returns an array.

You can only query activity_logs by nesting it within a boards query, so it can't be used at the root. 

query {
  boards (ids: 1234567890) {
    activity_logs (from: "2021-07-23T00:00:00Z", to: "2021-07-26T00:00:00Z") {
      id
      event
      data
    }
  }
}

let query = 'query { boards (ids: 1234567890) { activity_logs (from: \"2021-07-23T00:00:00Z\", to: \"2021-07-26T00:00:00Z\") { id event data }}}';


fetch ("https://api.monday.com/v2", {
  method: 'post',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization' : 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'
   },
   body: JSON.stringify({
     'query' : query
   })
  })
   .then(res => res.json())
   .then(res => console.log(JSON.stringify(res, null, 2)));

Arguments

You can use the following argument(s) to reduce the number of results returned in your activity_logs query.

ArgumentDescription
column_ids [String]The specific columns to return events for.
from ISO8601DateTimeFrom timestamp (ISO8601).
group_ids [String]The specific groups to return events for.
item_ids [Int]The specific items to return events for. Please note that this argument's type is [ID!] in API versions 2023-10 and later.
limit IntThe number of activity log events to return. The default is 25.
page IntThe page number to return. Starts at 1.
to ISO8601DateTimeTo timestamp (ISO8601).
user_ids [Int]The specific users to return events for. Please note that this argument's type is [ID!] in API versions 2023-10 and later.

Fields

You can use the following field(s) to specify what information your activity_logs query will return.

FieldDescription
account_id String!The unique identifier of the account that initiated the event.
data String!The item's column values.
entity String!The entity of the event that was changed: pulse or board.
event String!The action that took place.
id String!The unique identifier of the activity log event.
user_id String!The unique identifier of the user who initiated the event.
created_at String!The time of the event in 17-digit unix time.

Created_at field

The timestamps returned by this field are formatted as UNIX time with 17 digits.

To convert the timestamp to UNIX time in milliseconds, divide the 17-digit value by 10,000 and round to the nearest integer. For UNIX time in seconds, divide the value by 10,000,000. 

myDate = new Date(15880281464518396 / 10000)

import pandas as pd  
pd.to_datetime(16155031105053254 / 10000000, unit='s')

<?php
$timestamp=16155031105053254/10000000;
echo gmdate("Y-m-d\TH:i:s\Z", $timestamp);
?>
