Troubleshooting board visibility issues
If some boards from Monday do not appear in the Boards report drop-down within Data Integration, the issue relates to the permissions associated with the API token. Since the Monday API v2 Token is user-specific, it provides access only to boards visible to the user who generated the token.
Solution: Ensure the user who generated the token has access to all relevant boards. If the issue persists, consider the following best practice:
Connection best practices To ensure that all necessary boards appear in the Data Integration UI, create a dedicated Data Integration user in Monday (with admin privileges). Subscribe to this dedicated user only on the boards you need. This approach ensures you expose only the necessary boards, and sensitive boards remain hidden from Data Integration.
