Interact with Monday.com boards and items

Actions26

Overview

The node enables interaction with Monday.com boards and items, specifically supporting operations on various resources such as boards, items, subitems, updates, teams, users, and custom queries. For the Item resource with the Duplicate an Item operation, the node duplicates an existing item or subitem within a specified board. It optionally allows including updates associated with the original item in the duplication.

This functionality is useful when you want to quickly replicate tasks, projects, or entries in Monday.com without manually recreating all details. For example, duplicating a task item with its updates can help streamline project management workflows by reusing similar task structures and histories.

Properties

Output

The output JSON contains the result of the duplication mutation from Monday.com's API. Specifically, it returns an object with the duplicated item's id. The structure looks like:

{
  "data": {
    "duplicate_item": {
      "id": "newly_created_item_id"
    }
  }
}

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for Monday.com API access.
  • The node makes HTTP POST requests to the Monday.com GraphQL API endpoint: https://api.monday.com/v2.
  • Proper configuration of the API key credential in n8n is necessary for authentication.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing API Key: The node throws an error if the API key credential is not found or invalid. Ensure the API key is correctly configured.
  • Missing Required Parameters: Errors occur if required parameters like itemId or boardId are missing. Verify that these inputs are provided.
  • Invalid IDs: Providing incorrect or non-existent board/item/subitem IDs will cause API errors. Confirm IDs are valid and accessible.
  • Permission Issues: The API key must have sufficient permissions to duplicate items on the specified board.
  • Network/Request Failures: Network issues or API downtime may cause request failures. Check connectivity and Monday.com service status.
