Interact with Monday.com boards and items

Actions126

Overview

This node operation uploads one or more files to a specified file column of an item on a Monday.com board. It is useful for automating the process of attaching files to items in Monday.com, such as uploading documents, images, or other file types directly from n8n workflows. For example, it can be used to upload invoices to a finance board item or attach design files to a project task item.

Use Case Examples

  1. Upload a PDF invoice file to the 'Invoice' file column of a specific item on a Monday.com board.
  2. Attach multiple image files stored in binary properties to a 'Design Files' column of a project item.

Properties

Name Meaning
Board The Monday.com board where the item resides, identified by board ID.
Item The specific item on the selected board to which files will be uploaded, identified by item ID.
File Column The file column ID on the item where the files will be uploaded.
Binary Property The name(s) of the binary property or properties containing the files to upload. Multiple names can be separated by commas.

Output

JSON

  • id - ID of the uploaded file or file entry returned by Monday.com.

Dependencies

  • Monday.com API (requires API key credential)

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured and has permissions to access the specified board and item.
  • Verify that the item ID and file column ID are valid and exist on the selected board.
  • Check that the binary property names specified contain valid file data; missing or empty binary properties will cause the upload to skip those files.
  • Common errors include missing required parameters (item ID, column ID, binary property name) and API errors returned by Monday.com, which should be inspected in the node's error output.
