How to automatically capture screenshots of Monday.com board table views

Learn how to take automated scheduled screenshots of your Monday.com boards table view using the PagePixels web app.

Introduction

PagePixels is a screenshot automation tool that you can use to capture scheduled screenshots of web pages, including screenshots of your public Monday.com boards.

PagePixels is free to start, and this tutorial demonstrates how to automatically capture daily screenshots of a public Monday.com board table view.

Example

Prerequisites

Before you start, you'll need:

  • A PagePixels account.
  • A public embed URL for your Monday.com board table view. To get the embed URL:
    1. Go into the Share settings dialog for your board.

    2. Copy the value of the src attribute from the Embed code field.

How to automate taking screenshots of Monday.com boards

To capture daily automatic screenshots of a public Monday.com board table view:

1

Create a screenshot

Log in to your PagePixels account, and click the +Create Screenshot button.

2

Set your schedule

By default, scheduled screenshots are taken every 5 minutes.

For a daily screenshot, update the fields to: 1 Days

3

Add URL

Copy and paste the public embed URL for your Monday.com board into the Website URL to Capture field.

For example:

https://view.monday.com/embed/4293065518-03d38907f4551647b10e7f41ef5b8c1e?r=use1

Note: See the Prerequisites section for how to get your board's Embed URL in Monday.

4

Increase Wait Time

Scroll to the Waiting section.

Change the Time to wait value from 1500 (default) to: 8000

This gives the page more time to load before the screenshot gets taken. Maximum is 20000 (ms) *

*Note: If you've purchased the 5-minute TimeOut Addon, your maximum wait time is: 300000 (ms)

5

Check Incremental Scroll

Tick the Incremental Scroll option.

This option encourages content to load that requires a user to scroll the page (i.e. lazy-loaded content).

6

Check Full Page

Scroll to the Page Setup section. Tick the Full Page checkbox.

This option scrolls and takes a screenshot of the entire page.

7

Add Custom CSS

Monday boards have CSS that can interfere with getting a full page screenshot. The boards also have a "Powered by monday.com" label that can block table content.

To resolve these issues, copy and paste the following CSS into the CSS Injection field:

#attribution{
display:none !important;
}
#content_wrapper{
height:fit-content !important
}
8

Save Screenshot

Click the green Save Screenshot button (top-right).

Your screenshot automation is officially set, and your Monday.com board screenshot will be taken shortly.
