Interact with Monday.com boards and items

Actions26

Overview

This node enables interaction with Monday.com updates, specifically supporting operations such as listing, creating, updating, deleting, pinning, duplicating updates, and managing files attached to updates. The "Delete" operation for the "Update" resource allows users to delete a specific update by its ID.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include automating project management workflows, cleaning up outdated or irrelevant updates, and maintaining organized communication threads within Monday.com boards. For example, if an update contains incorrect information or is no longer relevant, this node can be used to programmatically remove it.

Properties

Name Meaning
Update ID The unique identifier of the update to delete. Can be selected from a list or specified via expression.

Output

The output JSON contains the result of the deletion mutation from Monday.com's API. It typically includes the ID of the deleted update, confirming successful deletion. The structure looks like:

{
  "data": {
    "delete_update": {
      "id": "<deleted_update_id>"
    }
  }
}

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for Monday.com (referred generically as "an API key credential").
  • 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

  • API Key Not Found: If the API key credential is missing or invalid, the node will throw an error indicating that the API key was not found. Ensure the API key is correctly set up in n8n credentials.
  • Missing Update ID: If the "Update ID" property is empty or invalid, the node will fail because it cannot identify which update to delete. Always provide a valid update ID.
  • Permission Issues: Deleting updates requires appropriate permissions on the Monday.com board. Insufficient permissions may cause errors.
  • Network or API Errors: Temporary network issues or API rate limits might cause failures. Retrying after some time or checking API usage limits can help.
