Hello all! I had some general questions about your Dynamic Tables. Would appreciate any thoughts or to point me in the right direction. :)Is there a way through the Extension API or other means to access properties or methods for a Dynamic Table? Poking around I see that it is referred to as a “DynamicMatrixColumnBlockClassName” I think? Is there a way to read any properties such as column or row headings? Determine what cards are in a column/row/cell? (I know I’m pushing my luck here) Is there an ability to define Custom Column values and programmatically associate cards to the correct columns using custom logic? (Similar to the way the dynamic table auto shifts cards based on standard data fields assigned to Columns and Rows.)Thank you!Matt

When you need Folder ID for setting the Parent ID to set the location of the file when creating or copy a document with https://developer.lucid.co/reference/createorcopyorimportdocument.https://api.lucid.co/documentsThe parent must be an integer as said in the doc.But if you want to use:   “My documents”,   “Team folders”,   “Shared with me”the folder ID are respectively (extracted from the url):   folder_id=home   folder_id=project  folder_id=sharedThis appears to be very strange to me and moreover we cannot use these values as parameters when using this API.Any help will be appreciated.Best regards.

Hello everyone, My name is Emmanuel Katto. What are the best practices for using the Lucid API for data visualization, and how can we efficiently handle authentication and error management during API calls? Looking forward to tips/advice. Thanks,Emmanuel Katto

✅ Edit: This issue has been fixed. ✅ Just a heads up that our API documentation at developer.lucid.co/reference is currently down. You might encounter some broken links or errors when accessing it.What to Do:Use the old docs URL for now: lucid.readme.io/reference/overview Tip: Any dead links should work by replacing developer.lucid.co with lucid.readme.io  We're aiming to have the new documentation back up by the end of today. Thanks for your patience!If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to comment below and we can assist!Sorry for the inconvenience!

Hello Lucid Dev Community!I have a group of users looking for a way to automate team creation via API.Id love to do this for them but I am not finding a clear solution for this. I was hoping to pair with someone that could shed a little light on my path forward! As always, thank you for your time and support! :)

I am exploring the example shapes in the sample library https://github.com/lucidsoftware/sample-lucid-extensions/tree/main/example-shape-library. I have the developer tools in lucid enabled and ran the test-shape-libraries command to run the local server. However I am seeing a lot of network errors in the console causing the example not to load. I don’t have any browser plugins enabled or add blockers. Not sure what is causing this. I’ve used Safari, Chrome and Brave and get the same result.

Not so much important but I noticed a mistake in the documentation here:https://developer.lucid.co/reference/listusersThe result is describe like that:[ { "accountId": 100, "email": "john-doe@example.com", "name": "John Doe", "userId": 101, "usernames": "johndoe", "roles": [ "billing-admin", "team-admin" ] }]But the “usernames” field is “username”.so it would be :[ { "accountId": 100, "email": "john-doe@example.com", "name": "John Doe", "userId": 101, "username": "johndoe", "roles": [ "billing-admin", "team-admin" ] }]Regards

Hi,I’m easily able to return the value of a string in an array by it’s index position with the FIND function.e.g. if array = [“hello”,”World”]FIND(array,1) = “hello” However, i’m struggling to understand how to do the inverse - finding the index position of a string in an array by the value of the string:e.g. if array = [“hello”,”World”]‘STRINGFIND’(array,”hello”) = 1I’m sure this is quite simple and I’m just missing the correct function.Thanks!

My team recently got access to the lucid api and we were trying out generating AWS architecture diagrams programmatically using the API but wasn’t successful. I’d like to know if this is something others have tried/been able to do?   

Hi, I would like to create a Lucidchart type app where users are invited to use a template with a few shapes to create their own UML-type diagrams.  I am wondering if this is possible at all using the developer features of the app? Kind regards,Maria 

Greetings to Team Lucid Chart ! I'm Harsha would love to create an integration for Lucid Chart with Zoho Cliq. Would be glad to get assistance regarding this !

I am looking for a UI Design tool to begin building the next part of my project.   This will be a mock-up for a user interface for a game I am building

I am trying to use Singer and Meltano—external ELT tools—to create an integration with LucidChart's API. This integration would allow for data to be pulled from a user's LucidChart account to populate a database or other storage medium. However I am running into an issue with the way LucidChart handles refresh tokens. As I understand it when I use the offline_access scope to have the user generate a refresh token I can then use this refresh token to request an access token any time within the next six months. However when I do so I also generate a new refresh token and invalidate the previous one. This makes my use case very difficult as I might potentially have multiple processes running at once attempting to use the LucidChart API. Awkward race conditions occur where one process attempts to use a refresh token that has been invalidated by another process. Is there any way around this difficulty? Is there any way to generate an access token without invalidating the refresh token that

Hello,if you build a custom package app in Lucidchart, will that be available for users in the mobile app of Lucidchart?  Thanks, Dan

I am using the countif function: {{=COUNTIF(DESCENDANTS(page),CONTAINS(THIS."model", "xxx"))}} to count the objects on the current page according to the data field “model”. I’d like to put this in a table that has columns to count the objects on multiple pages. For example, one column for corporate, one for engineering, and one for manufacturing (page names). Is it possible to use the countif function to reference objects on another page in the same file?

Hi there,is there a way to detect by code if my extension is running locally in testing mode or remotely using the published application.It could be interesting like - displaying debug message or not - to know whether the dataconnectors are served locally (using the local express server (debug-server.js) or remotely server of the published application, -…Regards.

When I add an item to a collection from a data connector vs extension editor, it appears different in the Data Tools UI.  model_definitions were created in the extension editor and does not have a paper icon next to it.  The other collections were created in my data connector and they have a paper icon next to them.  What does the paper icon mean? Perhaps on a related note, but, when I add an model_definitions item with the exact same primary key, I am getting duplicates of that item.  Despite my best efforts (so far), I am unable to “update” an existing collection item when using the extension editor.  Items added to collections from my data connector do not create duplicates.Thanks,Dan

Hi team,I noticed that the SCIM API doc for Lucid chart lists standard schemas, but I’m trying to confirm if the following custom schema is supported:urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:tenant:2.0:UserIt’s not returned in the /Schemas endpoint response, and when I tried passing it in a request, the value doesn’t appear in the response either.Just wanted to check, is this schema supported by Lucid chart SCIM API? Or does Lucid not support custom schema extensions like this?Thanks!

Hi team,I'm working with the Lucid Chart REST API, specifically on the Teams endpoints, and I’ve observed some unexpected behavior when authenticating via different user roles using OAuth 2.0. Context: I have two Lucid accounts in the same organization: An Account Owner (admin-level privileges) Developer Role account (non-admin, added as a tester collaborator in the OAuth 2.0 app) I’ve registered an OAuth 2.0 app and generated two separate access tokens via Authorization Code flow, one for each user. The developer role account has only teams + offline_access scope authorized, and is a member of only one team.  Observations:1. When using the developer’s token without setting the lucid-request-as header:GET /teamsAuthorization: Bearer <developer_token>→ Returns a list of all teams in the organization, not just the one the developer belongs to.2. Using the same developer token with:GET /teamsAuthorization: Bearer <developer_token>lucid-request-as: user→ Still retu

The below shape entry in my .manifest works as intended with a default width/height of 120px:    {        "shape": "switch_layer2",        "name": "Switch (Layer 2)",        "defaults": {            "fillColor": "#ccffee",            "strokeColor": "#000000",            "strokeWidth": 3,            "rounding": 10,            "width": 120,            "height": 120        }    } I have several shapes with the same basic definition and would like to define variables/constants in the manifest file that are referenced by all shape entries. Alternatively, is it possible to define defaults in the manifest that apply to all shape entries?  That would work just as well.

Is there a simple way to tie into the organization data that we see in Office365 (specifically Teams reporting Org) to make a dynamic version of an org chart at a certain level with all info and images etc?  Is this a special integration we need to work with Lucid on? I have reviewed the integration options and don’t see anything specific.We also are looking for scripting to auto-format an org chart after this data is loaded based on level.  Any guidance would be appreciated. 

Getting following error while attempting to embed a document in html  

We have a user that created a document through the API by posting to the https://api.lucid.co/documents endpoint. We get a reply and in the reply there is an editUrl and a viewUrl.But when the user tries the viewUrl the following message is displayed:Sorry, you don't have permission to access this document. Request access, or switch to an account with access.How is this possible?

Hello Team, We have two questions:1- We have a team Lucid Folder that we want to watch (export any document that gets newly created or gets modified). Is there a mechanism to set-up event/trigger if that folder is updated?2- When we query folder-contents, we receive list of all documents within a folder. Can we get their last updated timestamp? Thank you

Just an FYI - I was getting an error when trying to create swimlanes.   message: Invalid shape: 'swimlane' for reason: sum of swim lane widths must equal total width of swim lane objectThis error doesn’t seem to be impacted by the width though. I can change the entire swimlane object to be half the size of the sum of the swim lanes and it’s not affected. What does make this error come in and out is the height of the swimlane object. If the height is less than the sum of the widths, the error comes into play. "id": "swimlane", "type": "swimLanes", "boundingBox": { "x": 140, "y": 200, "w": 560, "h": 860I’ve played around with this for a while - changing the “w” from 560 to 960 to 2000 doesn’t make a difference.  Changing the “h” from 960 to 860 will cause the error.  Just so happens that the three swimlanes in the model are 320 in width.  This doesn’t make sense for validation, so I’m assuming it’s
