Worktables

Overview

This node enables interaction with updates on Monday.com boards. Specifically, for the Update resource and Update operation, it allows users to modify the content of an existing update on a Monday.com item. This is useful when you want to programmatically edit the text body of an update, for example, to correct information, add new details, or automate update management within workflows.

Common scenarios include:

• Automatically correcting or appending information in project updates.
• Synchronizing update content from other systems.
• Managing communication threads on Monday.com items by editing updates without manual intervention.

Example: You have a workflow that monitors external data changes and updates the corresponding Monday.com update's text content to reflect the latest status.

Properties

Output

The node outputs a JSON object representing the result of the update mutation. Typically, this includes the id of the updated update confirming the successful modification.

Example output structure:

{
  "edit_update": {
    "id": "123456789"
  }
}

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for Monday.com (referred generically as an API authentication token).
• The node makes HTTP POST requests to the Monday.com GraphQL API endpoint (https://api.monday.com/v2).
• Proper permissions on the Monday.com account are necessary to edit updates.

Troubleshooting

• API Key Not Found: If the API key credential is missing or invalid, the node will throw an error. Ensure the API key is correctly configured in n8n credentials.
• Invalid Update ID: Providing a non-existent or incorrect update ID will cause the mutation to fail. Verify the update ID is correct and accessible.
• Body Content Formatting: The body content must be a valid string. Special characters should be properly escaped if used in expressions.
• Permission Errors: Insufficient permissions on the Monday.com account may prevent editing updates. Confirm the API token has adequate rights.
• Unsupported Operation Error: If the operation parameter is not set to "updateUpdate" while using the Update resource, the node will throw an unsupported operation error.
