Link
The link column stores a link to a webpage.
Check out our help center to learn more about the link column.
Reading the link column
You can return the data in a link column in two different formats. The text field will return the data as a simple string, and the value field will return the data as a JSON string.
Here is an example payload showing both fields:
{
"text": "https://monday.com/",
"value": "{\"url\":\"https://monday.com/\",\"text\":\"https://monday.com/\",\"changed_at\":\"2022-07-21T12:00:00.000Z\"}"
}
Updating the link column
You can update a link column with both a simple string and a JSON string.
Simple strings
To update a link column, send the URL (including HTTP/HTTPS) and the display text, separated with a space. You can include spaces in the display text.
For example: "http://monday.com go to monday!"
JSON
To update a link column, write the URL (including HTTP/HTTPS) in the URL field, and the display text in the text field.
For example: {\“url\” : \“http://monday.com\“, \“text\“:\“go to monday!\“}
Code example
mutation {
change_multiple_column_values(item_id:11111, board_id:22222, column_values: "{\"link2\" : {\"url\" : \"http://monday.com\", \"text\":\"go to monday!\"}}") {
id
}
}
fetch ("https://api.monday.com/v2", {
method: 'post',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization' : 'YOUR_API_KEY'
},
body: JSON.stringify({
query : "mutation ($myBoardId:Int!, $myItemId:Int!, $myColumnValues:JSON!) { change_multiple_column_values(item_id:$myItemId, board_id:$myBoardId, column_values: $myColumnValues) { id } }",
variables : JSON.stringify({
myBoardId: YOUR_BOARD_ID,
myItemId: YOUR_ITEM_ID,
myColumnValues: "{\"link2\" : {\"url\" : \"http://monday.com\", \"text\": \"go to monday!\"}}"
})
})
})
curl "https://api.monday.com/v2" \
-X POST \
-H "Content-Type:application/json" \
-H "Authorization:MY_API_KEY" \
-d '{"query":"mutation{change_multiple_column_values(item_id:162169283, board_id:162169280, column_values:\"{\\\"link2\\\" : {\\\"url\\\" : \\\"http://monday.com\\\", \\\"text\\\" : \\\"go to monday!\\\"}}\"){name}}"}'
