Using "Local and Web Links"

Install and set up the Local and Web Links monday.com app along with the desktop companion, if you haven’t already.
Open the item view for any item where you want to use Local and Web Links.
Click the "+" icon to add a new view.
Click "Explore more views" at the bottom of the menu.
Go to the "Installed Apps" tab and find the app. (assuming you’ve already installed the app. If not, go to the "Marketplace Apps" tab and search for it).
Click the "Add to item" button.
Once added, you can click the "+" icon in the "Local & Web Links" view to add new links.

To open local file or folder links, the desktop application must be running on your computer. This lightweight app runs quietly in the background and listens for requests from monday.com.

Follow the steps below to connect the desktop app to the monday.com app:

Start the desktop application.
Click the "Copy Access Token" button. This copies a secure token that allows the monday.com app to communicate with the desktop app. You can minimize the desktop app afterward.
Open the Local & Web Links monday.com app and paste the copied access token into the input field (this may appear as a key icon in some cases).
You can now open local URLs directly from within monday.com.

Troubleshooting

Below are common error messages and how to resolve them:

Access token has to be set to open local links.

This means you have either not set the access token from the desktop app yet, or a new version of the app has been released. Simply copy the access token from the desktop application, paste it into the access token input field at the top right of the links table.
File or folder not found.

The desktop connector app cannot locate the file or folder you are trying to open. Please copy the URL and paste it into the File Explorer address bar to manually check whether the file or folder exists on your local machine. If you are certain that the path is correct, please contact support@viskode.com .
Connection to the Desktop Connector failed.

Most of the time, this means the desktop application is not running. Simply start the desktop application and try again. If the app is already running and you still see this message, click the access token regeneration button(on the desktop application) and paste the newly generated token into the access token input field at the top right of the links table.
Access restricted: the desktop application cannot open this folder or file type due to security settings.

You are trying to open a file or folder located in a restricted directory, such as the operating system installation directory, or attempting to open a restricted file type, such as an executable file. These restrictions have been added to the desktop application to ensure maximum security. If this limitation affects your workflow, please let us know at contact@viskode.com.
