Overview
This node interacts with the "Item" resource of a Monday.com board, specifically supporting the "Get" operation among others. The "Get" operation retrieves detailed information about a specific item on a selected board by its ID. This is useful when you want to fetch the current state or details of an individual item for further processing, reporting, or integration with other systems.
Practical examples include:
- Retrieving task details from a project management board.
- Fetching status or progress information of a specific item before updating or making decisions.
- Integrating Monday.com item data into external dashboards or workflows.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Board | The Monday.com board where the item exists. You select which board to work with. |
| Item ID | The unique identifier of the item to retrieve from the specified board. |
Output
The output is an array of JSON objects representing the retrieved item(s). For the "Get" operation, the output JSON contains the full details of the requested item, including its ID, name, and column values with their respective data.
Example structure of one output JSON object:
{
"id": "12345",
"name": "Item Name",
"column_values": [
{
"id": "status",
"text": "Done",
"value": "{\"index\":1,\"post_id\":null}",
"type": "status"
},
...
]
}
id: The item's unique identifier.name: The item's name.column_values: An array containing the values of each column for the item, including text and raw value representations.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API authentication token credential for Monday.com.
- Uses Monday.com's GraphQL API (default version "2023-10") to perform operations.
- No additional external services are required beyond Monday.com API access.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing board selection: Ensure the board parameter is correctly set and accessible with the provided credentials.
- Incorrect or non-existent Item ID: Verify that the item ID exists on the selected board.
- API authentication errors: Confirm that the API token credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
Error messages:
- Errors related to fetching items typically indicate invalid parameters or permission issues.
- If the node throws an error about parsing JSON, it may be due to malformed column values; ensure the data in Monday.com is consistent.
- To handle intermittent failures, enable "Continue On Fail" to allow processing of subsequent items.
