Monday.com
Manage boards, columns, groups, and items in Monday.com via the GraphQL API.
The Monday.com node manages boards, columns, groups and items through the GraphQL API — creating, reading, updating and deleting work items, adjusting board structure, and searching items by column value. A typical build is creating an item on a board when a form is submitted and moving it between groups as its status changes.

Monday.com
Manage boards, columns, groups, and items in Monday.com.
Overview
The Monday.com tool communicates with the Monday.com work management platform via its GraphQL API (POST https://api.monday.com/v2/). It supports managing boards (create, get, get many, archive), board columns (create, get many), board groups (create, delete, get many), and board items (create, get, get many, get by column value, add update, change column value, change multiple column values, move, delete). Authentication uses either a Monday.com API token (v2) or OAuth2 access token. The API-Version header is set to 2023-10. Board listing uses page-based pagination. Item listing uses cursor-based pagination via items_page and next_items_page. JSON column values are validated before sending.

Output Data
The Monday.com response is merged into the item JSON at the top level: the incoming fields pass straight through and the response’s fields are written over them. Binary data on the input item is forwarded unchanged.
Reading operations fan out. Board: Get, Board: Get Many, Board Column: Get Many, Board Group: Get Many, Board Item: Get, Board Item: Get Many and Board Item: Get By Column Value return a list and emit one output item per record. When that list comes back empty, one output item is still emitted, carrying _noResults: true next to the passed-through input fields — check for it before treating the branch as real results. Every other operation emits exactly one output item per input item.
| Resource: Operation | Fields merged onto the item |
|---|---|
Board: Archive, Board: Create | id |
Board: Get, Board: Get Many | id, name, description, state, board_folder_id, board_kind, owners |
Board Column: Create | id |
Board Column: Get Many | id, title, type, settings_str, archived |
Board Group: Create, Board Group: Delete | id |
Board Group: Get Many | id, title, color, position, archived |
Board Item: Add Update, Change Column Value, Change Multiple Column Values, Create, Delete, Move | id |
Board Item: Get, Board Item: Get Many | id, name, created_at, state, column_values |
Board Item: Get By Column Value | id, name, created_at, state, board, column_values |
Each entry in column_values carries id, text, type, value and a nested column with title, archived, description and settings_str.
Reference the result downstream by expression, e.g. {{ $json.id }}.
Usage Examples
- Create a new board in Monday.com
- Get all items from a Monday.com board group
- Create a new item in a Monday.com board
- Change column values for a Monday.com item
- Search Monday.com items by column value
- Move a Monday.com item to a different group

Example Configuration
Create a new board, cloned from a template:
{
"type": "monday_com",
"parameters": {
"resource": "board",
"operation": "create",
"name": "Marketing Campaign Board",
"kind": "public",
"additionalFields": {
"templateId": 123
}
}
}
Get boards, capped at 50:
{
"type": "monday_com",
"parameters": {
"resource": "board",
"operation": "getAll",
"returnAll": false,
"limit": 50
}
}
Archive a board:
{
"type": "monday_com",
"parameters": {
"resource": "board",
"operation": "archive",
"boardId": "123456789"
}
}
Create a status column with its labels preset. Defaults is a JSON string, so the braces are escaped:
{
"type": "monday_com",
"parameters": {
"resource": "boardColumn",
"operation": "create",
"boardId": "123456789",
"title": "Project Status",
"columnType": "status",
"additionalFields": {
"defaults": "{\"labels\":{\"0\":\"Not Started\",\"1\":\"In Progress\",\"2\":\"Complete\"}}"
}
}
}
List every column on a board — useful for discovering the column IDs the item operations need:
{
"type": "monday_com",
"parameters": {
"resource": "boardColumn",
"operation": "getAll",
"boardId": "123456789"
}
}
Create a group:
{
"type": "monday_com",
"parameters": {
"resource": "boardGroup",
"operation": "create",
"boardId": "123456789",
"name": "Q1 Tasks"
}
}
Delete a group:
{
"type": "monday_com",
"parameters": {
"resource": "boardGroup",
"operation": "delete",
"boardId": "123456789",
"groupId": "group_12345"
}
}
Create an item with its column values already filled in:
{
"type": "monday_com",
"parameters": {
"resource": "boardItem",
"operation": "create",
"boardId": "123456789",
"groupId": "group_12345",
"name": "Design Homepage Mockup",
"additionalFields": {
"columnValues": "{\"status\":{\"label\":\"In Progress\"},\"date4\":{\"date\":\"2024-03-15\"}}"
}
}
}
Change a single column value:
{
"type": "monday_com",
"parameters": {
"resource": "boardItem",
"operation": "changeColumnValue",
"boardId": "123456789",
"itemId": "987654321",
"columnId": "status",
"value": "{\"label\":\"Complete\"}"
}
}
Change several column values in one call:
{
"type": "monday_com",
"parameters": {
"resource": "boardItem",
"operation": "changeMultipleColumnValues",
"boardId": "123456789",
"itemId": "987654321",
"columnValues": "{\"status\":{\"label\":\"Complete\"},\"date4\":{\"date\":\"2024-03-20\"},\"numbers\":100}"
}
}
Find every item whose status column reads “In Progress”:
{
"type": "monday_com",
"parameters": {
"resource": "boardItem",
"operation": "getByColumnValue",
"boardId": "123456789",
"columnId": "status",
"columnValue": "In Progress",
"returnAll": true
}
}
Post an update (comment) on an item:
{
"type": "monday_com",
"parameters": {
"resource": "boardItem",
"operation": "addUpdate",
"itemId": "987654321",
"value": "Completed the initial design review. Moving to development phase."
}
}
Setting up a new project board takes four nodes in sequence. First create the board:
{
"type": "monday_com",
"parameters": {
"resource": "board",
"operation": "create",
"name": "Website Redesign Project",
"kind": "private"
}
}
Then add the custom columns you need:
{
"type": "monday_com",
"parameters": {
"resource": "boardColumn",
"operation": "create",
"boardId": "123456789",
"title": "Priority",
"columnType": "status"
}
}
Then create the groups that will hold the work:
{
"type": "monday_com",
"parameters": {
"resource": "boardGroup",
"operation": "create",
"boardId": "123456789",
"name": "Design Phase"
}
}
Finally add the tasks to a group:
{
"type": "monday_com",
"parameters": {
"resource": "boardItem",
"operation": "create",
"boardId": "123456789",
"groupId": "group_12345",
"name": "Create wireframes"
}
}
Read a page of items out of one group:
{
"type": "monday_com",
"parameters": {
"resource": "boardItem",
"operation": "getAll",
"boardId": "123456789",
"groupId": "group_12345",
"returnAll": false,
"limit": 100
}
}
Error Handling
| Mode | Behavior |
|---|---|
| stop | Halts workflow on first error |
| continue | Skips failed items, passes successful ones through |
| errorPort | Routes failed items to Error output port |
Tips
Manages Monday.com boards, columns, groups, and items via GraphQL API — create, read, update, and delete work items, manage board structure, and search items by column values.
Parameter Dependencies

- Board IDs, group IDs, and column IDs must be obtained from previous API calls or the Monday.com interface
Frequently asked questions
When does the Limit field appear?
Only when Return All is off. With Return All on the node fetches everything and there is nothing to limit.
Where do I get board, group and column IDs?
From previous API calls or the Monday.com interface. They are not guessable, so most workflows fetch them once and reference the values rather than hard-coding.
How should column values be formatted?
Following Monday.com's API specifications for JSON column values — each column type has its own expected shape, and a mismatched shape is rejected.
Does Additional Fields have a fixed structure?
No, its structure varies by operation type, so check what applies to the operation you selected rather than reusing a shape from a different one.
Build with the Monday.com node
Drop it into a workflow, wire it to an agent, or call it on a schedule. You'll need Monday.com credentials first.
