Any API to remove user licenses or remove users from MIRO Teams?

@Dav Go No news. I’m not part of Miro… just a zealous full-time user of the platform. Perhaps @Addison Schultz Can direct your issue. Good luck :)

(I believe this is your case with iPad+safari) I’ve actually never tried a mobile, browser, Miro board embed. not sure if it accesses any web plugins. mobile native apps: plugins do not work.

Miro apps/plugins that work in mobile app

@Justin Barrett LOA Sorry to say- you’re out of luck right now. The Miro mobile/iOS app is a distinct interface and not currently supported through the SDK. Miro board through mobile is read only. You may find luck with the board embed API and REST API where the Miro board would be an iFrame in your mobile native app/ browser app.

Table access via Web SDK

@DaveC That’s currently the case in SDK V1 and V2. There is a wishlist on the feature roadmap here, and one wish In the SDK section that requests CRUD tables: https://portal.productboard.com/bs3msuyjdbfr8dfxd84wngpn/c/44-crud-table?utm_medium=social&utm_source=portal_shareYou can add your vote to that request.

Resize images to be the same height or widthOpen

Turns out @Lars Vincent had already contacted me… and perhaps has encountered friction getting enterprise admin authorization of our 3rd Party app. I wrote to him in DM but thought, I might also leave it here for any others who have info-secure IT admins with concerns about our apps. ____ Image Resizer: security policy information Here's some key points and resources other info-security IT admins have reviewed to authorize our apps in the Enterprise environment:Context:I founded Refractive to help visionary people and teams better visually think together and tackle harder systemic problems. We seek to hasten a visual-thinking revolution by empowering as many visual thinkers as we can. We create these apps, and the ones currently on the Miro App Marketplace, to build goodwill in the community and build our brand as helpful extenders of the Miro magic. We make money for our daily bread from large enterprise custom Miro app projects, partnership on an enterprise architecture toolkit t

How does the geometry work for widgets on the REST API?

@Emile Paffard-Wray Unlike computer graphics(web), in Miro, the X and Y of each widget is taken at its center point. Which will explain why your Frame X > Text X because the text center is left of the frame center. This center-based geom scheme means you’ll have to get clever with managing the geometry. Especially as you resize and reposition. For certain operations we made a utility function for deriving the ‘upper left’ of each itemfunction getUpperLeftCoord(widget){return {x: widget.x - .5* widget.bounds.width, y: widget.y - .5*widget.bounds.height}}@Joanna Smith may appreciate knowing this challenge you hit.

Are we Kanban-ing WRONG?

@Henrik Ståhl yeah - I hear yah, Gantt is a mixed bag of pros and cons. But more than any particular methodology, I’m aiming this questioning at ANY project management layout on a board where time is represented— or even less so, any time when using a Miro board to just do project work over time (where you consciously choose where to place future work … and where past work ends up - and in what relationship to this structure does one organize their kanban… Kanban is linear, and by convention; future tasks are left and past tasks are right— (To Do, Doing, Done). Many people I see organize their project boards with the future to the right and the past to the left, and GANTT, PERT, roadmaps, fishbone; the many flavors of time-based or activity-process-based (“first we must do this, then we can do this”) planning visualizations tend to, by-in-large, be organized similarly with the future to the right and the past to the left. Kanbans that are structured conventionally with (future left

Mind map linking leaves and focus

@Kiron Bondale @Esckays Half of this can be currently done with Miro’s V2 API ( bring forward , native mind map ). If you build mind maps NOT with the native mindmap tool but with lines and objects this can be done! I did an experiment like this a year ago… where I highlighted which items were connected to a selected item in the network. I did it in response to this thread, but I didn’t end up making a prototype because the use-case space is very large. Perhaps I should revisit...‘bringToFront’ IS a supported function.Mind Map is NOT a supported ‘item’

What is the most underrated Miro feature?

@Alexis Luscutoff When it comes to simple unsung hero gamechanger features… one in my top ten is that -every Miro item has its own link.A board, a note, a frame, ... now a team template have their own unique URLs. It makes collaborating in and out of the board seamless.

Programmatic creation of LineWidgets with Captions (SDK v1.1)

@Andrin Urechyeah - that’s unfortunately not the case here. In my experience… I understand line widget captions being “read only” to mean: the property CAN be written by the system through a normal user interaction on the board UI - but can’t be written at all programmatically through the API/SDK, only read. widget.type is also read-only and it works as you’ve described I believe, where it can be defined and written at creation, but cannot be updated. Line captions cannot be programmatically written ever.

Miro for Developers Show & Tell session

@MishalYou read my heart. So glad you thought of this. We’d be happy to help you with this. Miro gives us magic… their developer platform lets us invent new spells. It’s a whole secret room in Hogwarts. I love showing people this extra potential of the platform and giving them the permission to dream bigger. We currently extend and augment Miro for fortune 100&500 companies as well as a number of worthy causes and great non-profit and community partners. While some of our magic is under NDA, we have plenty to show and share. Let’s find a time to connect plan and demo. Direct message me please.

@Mishal Yes. It’s 100% possible. We’ve built some products that connect Miro with other data tools as well- like Airtable . :)

Syntax for attaching metadata to a shape using API

@Marijn Huizendveld @Geir Ølnes What @Anthony Roux wrote is the situation. He works on the platform for Miro. I’m just a developer on the platform - I don’t work for Miro. They know the inner workings. I’m just intimately aware of the state of the API/SDK because we’re developing on it full time. Our team builds custom tools on top of Miro for enterprise clients and for marketplace. Building and maintaining those Miro apps and integrations means we work with API/SDK daily and our clients and their software is reliant on the stability of supported features — which also means we are exposed to fluctuations in any stability of those features. When the current metadata capabilities began to faulter last week, our app users and us developers noticed it immediately…. Like bricks being removed from the foundation of a house. In our correspondence with the Miro platform team we discovered there wasn’t a definitive, certain outlook or timetable to resolve metadata’s functionality. This lead to

Hidden frames revealling automaticly (by timer?)

@SessiemakersThe Miro platform (API/SDK) let’s you build your own Miro apps/plugins/extension. At the current moment one can’t exactly hide a frame (and it’s content) the way that it works with the normal UI… but we certainly can reasonably approximate it. And put It on a timer.

Syntax for attaching metadata to a shape using API

@Geir Ølnes Thanks for the reply. The documentation you point to describes both using a text string and the application id as a key. The documentation of the SDK defines metadata like this WidgetMetadata Ƭ WidgetMetadata: { [x:string]: any; } In this description, the key is any string. Is there a hidden restriction that the key string needs to be the application id? I am not sure I understand what the application id is. Is it the Client ID from the …./settings/user-profile/apps page for my plugin? Yes. That’s the one.It is you app’s ID. The documentation can be confusing… in someplace’s you’ll see it called App ID. in other’s its Client ID or clientId -- The metadata is currently stored on a widget under each application. You can read other app’s metadata from the console, or from your application, but you can only write metadata under your app ID. BUT !! Caution!! METADATA HAS RECENTLY BROKEN and support has maybe been abandoned by the platform team. Updated metadata (

Widget context menu button extension api deprecated?

@Marijn Huizendveld I bring that up as to say… I think its a strong feature of the way they designed it before deprecating it. It would be great to have … I think they may be encouraging this usecase to be handled on ‘toolbar’ or ‘bottom bar’… but I’m with you, I think it would be nice to have a solution for presenting your tools in the widget context menu - without bogging it down with way too many icons. getWidgetMenuItems Here’s an example where I only show my app icon if … well in this case it was dumb test… but ‘if the first widget in the selection is a sticky note.’ I think this was a fast hack to only work on a single sticky. Ignore the auth code… its oldThe point here is… the widgets in the argument of the arrow function that is the callback function set as the ‘value’ to the getWidgetMenuItems ‘key’ in the object set to ‘extensionPoints:’ in ‘miro.initialize()’ are the current selected widgets… so that callback function can take the widgets in the selection at the time of

Widget context menu button extension api deprecated?

@Marijn Huizendveld i agree. It’s a very useful interface point. Actually the way it is now, developers can run logic at the point of receiving the current widget selection and from there they can by themselves create what you’re talking about… a restriction of the appearance of their apps icon(s), based on various cases: e.g, there’s a card in the selection, something in the selection has metadata from our app, there’s have more than one item, there’s exactly one frame, etc.

@Sebastian Oschatz It’s a bummer but, there is no accessible URL in your second case. The image is stored in app data and not made readable to the SDK/API. Hopefully future versions of Miro /the sdk will allow this. @Anthony Roux

Upgrade to 'Business' (to get the new features...) 'UPGRADE PLAN' PAGES BROKEN

@Ryan QuickThis is either:- a not thought out accident- a poorly thought out feature exclusion for Consultant Plan holders. Designed haphazardly with the intention to get people to upgrade? But upgrade to what plan? There is no upgrade pathway to unlock these features. Like… Just let me pay more!! Can I please just pay you more Miro? Their answer right now is ‘no… not without loosing your other key features… or Enterprise @ price ‘come talk to us’. The answer right now is — ‘we didn’t really plan this one out/ we somehow either missed that diagram tools would be useful to consultants… or caught it, but ignored it intentionally for no purpose’. To Miro’s credit, they are managing a lot of complexity and a lot of growth, so I can understanding them not having a perfect plan here… but it moments like this where we should point out the overall UX of the “product” for them … to that end: The result of this seemingly haphazard decision just feels unintentionally sloppy or intentionally anta
