Overview

This node operation creates a new board in Monday.com, a popular work operating system used for project management and team collaboration. Creating boards allows users to organize projects, tasks, or workflows visually. This operation is useful when automating the setup of new projects or teams, enabling consistent board creation with predefined settings such as board type, workspace placement, folder organization, or templates.

Practical examples:

  • Automatically create a new project board when a new client signs up.
  • Set up private or shared boards for different departments dynamically.
  • Create boards from existing templates to standardize project structures.

Properties

Name Meaning
Board Name The name/title of the new board to be created.
Board Kind The type of board to create. Options: Public (visible to all), Private (restricted access), Share (shared with specific users).
Workspace (Optional) The workspace where the board will be created. Workspaces group boards together.
Folder ID (Optional) The ID of a folder to place the board into, organizing it within the workspace.
Template ID (Optional) The ID of a Monday.com template to create the board from, allowing pre-configured structure.

Output

The output JSON contains the full response from Monday.com's API representing the newly created board. This typically includes details such as the board's unique ID, name, kind, workspace association, and other metadata returned by the API.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.
