Interact with Monday.com boards and items

Actions26

Overview

The node enables interaction with Monday.com boards, specifically allowing users to duplicate an existing board. This operation is useful when you want to create a new board based on the structure or content of an existing one without manually recreating it. Common scenarios include project management where similar workflows or templates are reused, or when creating backups or variations of boards for different teams or purposes.

For example, you can duplicate a board with all its pulses (items), or with pulses and their updates, or just duplicate the board's structure without any items. You can also choose whether to keep the subscribers from the original board in the duplicated version.

Properties

Name Meaning
Board Name The name for the new duplicated board.
Workspace Name or ID The workspace under which the board exists or will be created.
Board Name or ID The identifier of the board to duplicate.
Folder Name or ID The folder where the duplicated board should be placed.
Keep Subscribers Boolean option to decide if subscribers from the original board should be retained in the duplicate.
Duplicate Type The type of duplication to perform:
- Duplicate Board with Pulses
- Duplicate Board with Pulses and Updates
- Duplicate Board with Structure

Output

The output JSON contains the details of the duplicated board, including at least:

  • id: The unique identifier of the new board.
  • name: The name of the duplicated board.

This allows subsequent nodes or workflows to reference or use the newly created board directly.

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 permissions on the API key are necessary to duplicate boards and access related resources like folders and workspaces.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Board ID: If the board ID to duplicate is not provided, the node throws an error "Board ID is required." Ensure this property is set correctly.
  • Missing API Key: If the API key credential is missing or invalid, the node throws "API Key not found." Verify that the credential is configured properly in n8n.
  • Invalid Folder ID: If the folder ID is invalid or not accessible, the duplication may fail or place the board in an unintended location. Use the folder selector or verify folder IDs.
  • Permission Issues: Insufficient permissions on the API key may cause errors during duplication. Confirm the API key has rights to read and write boards.
  • Duplicate Type Errors: Providing an unsupported duplicate type value will cause the mutation to fail. Use one of the predefined options only.
