Overview

The "Move to Group" operation of the Item resource in this Monday.com node allows users to move an existing item from its current group to another specified group within a board. This is useful for organizing tasks, projects, or data entries by grouping them appropriately as their status or category changes.

Common scenarios include:

  • Moving a task item from a "Backlog" group to an "In Progress" group.
  • Reorganizing items when priorities change or when items need to be categorized differently.
  • Automating workflow steps where items are moved between groups based on triggers or conditions.

Example: Automatically move a project task item to the "Completed" group once all subtasks are done.

Properties

Name Meaning
Board The board containing the item to move.
Item ID The unique identifier of the item that you want to move to another group.
Group The destination group within the board where the item will be moved.

Output

The output JSON contains the response from the Monday.com API after moving the item to the new group. It typically includes details about the moved item such as its updated group information and identifiers confirming the successful move.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for Monday.com with permissions to modify items and groups.
  • The node uses the Monday.com API version "2023-10" by default.
  • Proper configuration of the Monday.com API credentials in n8n is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing item ID or group ID can cause the operation to fail.
    • Insufficient permissions on the API token may prevent moving items.
    • Specifying a group that does not belong to the selected board will result in errors.
  • Error messages:

    • Errors related to invalid IDs usually indicate that the item or group does not exist or is inaccessible.
    • Permission errors suggest checking the API token scopes and access rights.
    • Parsing errors might occur if input parameters are malformed; ensure correct types and values.

To resolve these, verify the correctness of the board, item, and group selections, and confirm that the API credentials have adequate permissions.
