Notifications are used by monday.com to alert users of actions inside their workflows. They are sent in response to events such as due dates, updates, and more.

By default, a user will also receive an email when they receive a notification. This can be turned off and customized in the user’s profile settings.

Notifications mutations

Required scope: notifications:write

Create a notification

The create_notification mutation triggers a notification within the platform (will also send out an email if the recipient's email preferences are set up accordingly). Please keep in mind that notifications are async and you will not be able to query their IDs back after sending them out.

If you send a notification from a board view or widget using seamless authentication, it will come from the app and display its name and icon. The notification will appear to come from the user who installed the app on an account if you make the call with a personal API key.

mutation {
    create_notification (user_id: 105939, target_id: 674387, text: "This is a notification", target_type: Project) {
        text
    }
}

let query = "mutation { create_notification (user_id: 105939, target_id: 674387, text: \"This is a notification\", target_type: project) { text } }";

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)));
