Dashboard Widget API

Chris Mondeau

Hi All,

Wanted to see if there was a way in the API to update the URL stored in the web content widget. From what I can tell I can modify the name and size/formatting properties of the widget, but am missing if I can write into the URL parameter. https://smartsheet.redoc.ly/tag/dashboardsObjects#section/WebContentWidgetContent-Object

Thank you!

Hi @Chris Mondeau

No, there currently isn't a way to update the URL in a Web Content Widget by using the API; I believe the API Update Dashboard request is specific to updating the name of the Dashboard.

I haven't seen an Idea submission regarding this functionality yet, so when you have a minute, please submit your feature request to the Product team by creating an Idea in the Smartsheet Product Feedback and Ideas topic.

Thanks!

Genevieve

@Genevieve P. thank you for the notes! Hopefully this is an area SMAR can invest in for the coming year :D

One of the most time consuming task is to copy a dashboard and update all widgets manual with a huge risk to make any mistakes.

So would be great to make it possible to update Dashboards via the API
