Overview
This node operation allows you to create a new folder within a specified workspace on Monday.com. It is useful for organizing boards, groups, or items into hierarchical structures by grouping them inside folders. You can also optionally specify a parent folder ID to create a subfolder, enabling nested folder organization.
Practical examples:
- Creating a new project folder inside a specific workspace to group related boards.
- Adding a subfolder under an existing folder to further categorize tasks or departments.
- Setting a color label for the folder to visually distinguish it in the Monday.com interface.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Workspace | The workspace where the new folder will be created. |
| Folder Name | The name of the new folder to be created. |
| Folder Color | The color label for the folder. Options include: Default, Done Green, Bright Green, Working Orange, Dark Orange, Sunset, Stuck Red, Dark Red, Sofia Pink, Lipstick, Purple, Dark Purple, Indigo, Bright Blue, Aquamarine, Chill Blue. |
| Parent Folder ID | (Optional) The ID of an existing folder under which this new folder will be created as a subfolder. |
Output
The output JSON contains the details of the newly created folder as returned by the Monday.com API. This typically includes the folder's unique ID, name, color, workspace association, and potentially its parent folder ID if it was created as a subfolder.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for Monday.com with permissions to create folders in the target workspace.
- The node uses the Monday.com API client internally to perform the folder creation.
- The workspace list for selection is dynamically loaded via a method that fetches available workspaces from Monday.com.
Troubleshooting
- Common issues:
- Invalid or missing workspace ID: Ensure the workspace exists and the ID is correct.
- Insufficient permissions: The API token must have rights to create folders in the specified workspace.
- Invalid parent folder ID: If provided, verify the parent folder ID exists and belongs to the same workspace.
- Error messages:
- Errors from the Monday.com API will be propagated, such as "Folder name already exists" or "Unauthorized".
- To resolve, check the input parameters, API credentials, and user permissions.
- Use the "Continue On Fail" option in n8n to handle errors gracefully during batch executions.
