  2. Click the Start Conversation button of any item in the Main Table view to open the item's Updates / Views Section

  3. Click the Add View (+) button to open the Item Views Center, enter Universal Embedder in the search box, and click the Add to item button.

Step 2 - Add a URL to a Board Link Column

Within the Universal Embedder View, all of the Link Columns that contain a URL for that Item are viewable from there. To display your link:

  1. Click on the name of the column it was added to.

  2. This will open up a preview of that link embedded directly into monday. Voilà!
