Interact with Monday.com boards and items

Actions126

Overview

This node interacts with Monday.com to update column values of a specific item on a board. It allows users to specify the board and item, then update multiple column values with various data types such as text, dates, people, files, links, and more. This is useful for automating updates to project management boards, tracking progress, or modifying item details programmatically.

Use Case Examples

  1. Updating the status and due date columns of a task item on a Monday.com board.
  2. Changing the assigned people and adding file links to an item in a project board.
  3. Modifying multiple columns of an item including checkbox, phone number, and timeline columns.

Properties

Name Meaning
Board The Monday.com board where the item exists, identified by board ID.
Item The specific item on the selected board to update, identified by item ID.
Column Values A collection of columns to update with their respective values. Supports multiple columns with different data types such as simple text, JSON objects, files, buttons, checkboxes, dates, locations, links, emails, phones, people, timelines, and board relations.

Output

JSON

  • id - The ID of the updated item.
  • name - The name of the updated item.
  • url - The URL of the updated item on Monday.com.
  • board
    • id - The ID of the board containing the item.
  • column_values - An object containing updated column values keyed by column ID, with parsed values and metadata.

Dependencies

  • Monday.com API
  • an API key credential for authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured and has necessary permissions to access and modify the board and items.
  • Verify that the board ID and item ID are valid and exist in the Monday.com account.
  • Check that the column values are formatted correctly, especially JSON objects for complex column types.
  • If updating board relation columns with 'addConnections' enabled, ensure the existing linked item IDs are fetched correctly to avoid overwriting connections unintentionally.
  • Handle errors returned by the Monday.com API gracefully, and use the 'continue on fail' option if needed to avoid workflow interruption.
