Step-by-Step Guide to Integrate Google Vertex PaLM API with monday.com

Creating an AI-Powered Assistant App on monday.com with Google Vertex PaLM API

monday.com is a cloud-based work operating system that facilitates the creation of custom applications and project management software. This all-in-one work management platform empowers teams to streamline their workflows, collaborate seamlessly, and manage complex projects efficiently. Coupling monday.com with Google's advanced PaLM2 language model, which excels in natural language processing and understanding, leads to powerful new capabilities for project management and productivity.

Prerequisites

To harness Google Vertex PaLM API, you first need to join the waitlist.

What You'll Learn

• Creating a React App
• Styling the App with Tailwind CSS
• Developing a Custom API using FastAPI
• Working with GraphQL
• Handling Requests and Responses
• Managing PDF Files
• Building an App on monday.com
• Integrating Google Vertex PaLM API with monday.com
• Publishing the App on monday.com

Step 1: Create a New Project

First, let's set up our project. Open Visual Studio Code, create a new folder named monday-palm-tutorial, or choose a name that suits you.

Step 2: Create React App

Open your terminal and run the following command to create a new React App:

npx create-react-app monday-palm-app

Step 3: Install Tailwind CSS

Next, we need to install Tailwind CSS. Run the following command in the terminal:

npm install -D tailwindcss@latest postcss@latest autoprefixer@latest

Step 4: Configure Tailwind CSS

Open tailwind.config.js and replace the existing code with the necessary configurations for Tailwind.

Step 5: Add Tailwind Directives

Add the Tailwind directives into your CSS. Open src/index.css and replace its content with the following:

@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

Step 6: Create the UI Interface

Set up the main UI interface by modifying the src/App.js file as follows:

// Your JSX code here

This sets up our initial state and renders the components.

Step 7: Implement Application Logic

Using the useState hook, maintain the application state, and useEffect to fetch data from the monday.com API. Create functions to handle requests and responses.

Step 8: Create Dropdown Menus and Handle Selections

• Create a dropdown to select boards, items, and files with appropriate event handlers.
• Implement functions to handle text input and file selections.

Step 9: Test the App

Run the frontend server:

npm start

Ensure that the interface is responsive, and the user interactions are functioning correctly.

Step 10: Create a Custom API Endpoint (FastAPI)

Create a directory named backend within your project folder. Inside, create api.py to define your FastAPI server:

from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI()

@app.get("/items/{item_id}")
async def read_item(item_id: int):
    return {"item_id": item_id}

Step 11: Implement Functions to Interface with PaLM API

In palm.py, create functions to send requests to the Google Vertex PaLM API and retrieve responses.

Step 12: Start the Backend Server

Run the following command to start the backend server:

uvicorn api:app --reload
