Notification Mutations

Required scope: notifications:write

Create a Notification

The create_notification mutation allows to trigger 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.

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)));
