Teams

Teams are the most efficient way to manage groups of users in monday.com. Teams are comprised of one or multiple users, and every user can be a part of multiple teams (or none).

As a developer working with monday.com, it is important to familiarize yourself with the teams API so you know how to access team data. This document will walk you through the available queries and mutations to read and modify the teams object via the API.

Queries

Required scope: teams:read

Querying teams will return metadata about one or several teams. This method accepts one argument and returns an array.

You can query teams directly at the root, or you can nest it within a users query to return the teams a specific user is part of. Please note that nesting your query will increase its complexity. 

query {
  teams {
    name
    picture_url
    users {
      created_at
      phone
    }
  }
}

let query = "query { teams { name picture_url users { created_at phone } } }";

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)));

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