Monday.com Bulk Status Updater

WHAT IT DOES

Monday.com Bulk Status Updater solves a significant workflow gap: the inability to update status column values for multiple items simultaneously on a board. While Monday.com allows bulk operations for some fields, status updates still require clicking into each item individually or using the limited bulk edit interface that often resets your view. This tool reads your current Monday.com board view, identifies all visible items/rows, and presents them in a clean, scrollable checklist with item names and their current status values. You select the items you want to update, choose which status column to modify from all detected status columns on the board, select a target status value from that column's available options, and click "Update Status." The tool then processes each item sequentially through Monday.com's GraphQL API.

WHERE IT RUNS

This extension panel runs directly inside your browser as an overlay on any Monday.com board view. It integrates seamlessly with Monday.com's web interface and works across all board types including main boards, subboards, and shared views. The tool detects all status columns on the current board automatically, whether they're the primary status column or custom status/dropdown columns added to the board.

HOW TO USE

After installing the BotGentz extension and activating Monday.com Bulk Status Updater, navigate to any Monday.com board view. Click the extension icon in your browser toolbar to open the panel. The tool automatically detects all items displayed in your current view. Each item appears with its name and current status value from the first status column detected. Use the "Select All" toggle or individually check items. Next, choose which status column you want to update from the dropdown — this lists all status-type columns on the board. Then select the target status value from that column's available options. Finally, click "Update Status." The tool processes each item with a 400ms delay between updates to respect API rate limits, showing progress updates. A notification appears when all updates complete.

TECHNICAL OPERATION — GraphQL Status Mutation

Unlike DOM-based automation tools that simulate clicks and risk breaking with UI updates, this extension uses Monday.com's stable GraphQL API to perform status updates reliably. It first detects the board ID from the page's URL or embedded data attributes. For each selected item, the tool constructs a GraphQL mutation using the `change_simple_column_value` operation, passing the board ID, item ID, column ID, and the new status value as a JSON string. The mutation runs through Monday.com's official API endpoint at `api.monday.com/v2`, using your session's authentication token extracted from the page's Apollo state or meta tags. This approach avoids DOM fragility, works consistently across Monday.com versions, and provides clear success/failure feedback for each item. The tool caps concurrent operations and uses sequential processing with delays to avoid rate-limiting responses.

THE PANEL

The extension panel is fully draggable and remembers its position per site session. It snaps to the nearest edge of the browser viewport when dragged within 50 pixels of any side. You can collapse the panel to a compact title bar using the minimize button, preserving your selection state. The panel resizes vertically by dragging the bottom edge. Press the Escape key to close the panel instantly without losing your item selection.

PLEASE NOTE

This tool requires the free BotGentz browser extension to function. Monday.com's GraphQL API and UI structure may change over time; we monitor and release compatibility updates promptly. This extension does not store, transmit, or log any item data, status information, or board details. All operations occur locally in your browser session through your authenticated Monday.com session. You remain fully in control of all status changes. Always review your selection and target status before confirming bulk updates, as status changes can trigger automations, notifications, and integrations within your boards.
