Overview
This node allows users to interact with items on Monday.com boards, specifically supporting the deletion of an item. It is useful in automation workflows where you need to programmatically remove tasks, issues, or entries from a project management board based on certain triggers or conditions.
For example, you might use this node to automatically delete completed or obsolete items from a Monday.com board after a certain status change or time period, helping keep your boards clean and up-to-date without manual intervention.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Workspace Name or ID | Select the workspace containing the board. You can choose from a list or specify an ID via expression. |
| Board Name or ID | Select the specific Monday.com board where the item exists. Choose from the list or specify an ID via expression. |
| Is Subitem | Boolean flag indicating whether the item to delete is a subitem (a child item under a parent). |
| Item Name or ID | Select the item to delete from the board. Required if Is Subitem is false. |
| Parent Item Name or ID | If deleting a subitem, select the parent item it belongs to. |
| Subitem Name or ID | If deleting a subitem, select the specific subitem to delete. |
Output
The output JSON contains the response from the Monday.com API after attempting to delete the item. Typically, this includes the ID of the deleted item confirming successful deletion, for example:
{
"delete_item": {
"id": "123456"
}
}
No binary data is output by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for Monday.com (referred generically as "an API key credential").
- The node makes HTTP POST requests to the Monday.com GraphQL API endpoint at
https://api.monday.com/v2. - Proper permissions on the API key are necessary to delete items on the specified board.
Troubleshooting
- Missing API Key: The node will throw an error if the API key credential is not set or invalid. Ensure the API key is configured correctly.
- Item ID Required: If neither an item ID nor a subitem ID is provided when required, the node throws an error indicating the missing item identifier.
- Permission Errors: If the API key lacks permission to delete items on the board, the API will return an error. Verify that the API key has sufficient access rights.
- Invalid Board or Workspace IDs: Providing incorrect or inaccessible workspace or board IDs will cause errors. Confirm these IDs are correct and accessible by the API key.
- Subitem Deletion: When deleting subitems, ensure both the parent item and subitem IDs are correctly specified; otherwise, the deletion will fail.
