Interact with Monday.com boards and items

Actions26

Overview

The node interacts with Monday.com boards and their components, specifically enabling operations such as duplicating a group within a board. The "Duplicate a Group" operation allows users to create a copy of an existing group on a specified Monday.com board, optionally assigning a new name to the duplicated group.

This operation is useful when you want to replicate a set of items or tasks grouped together without manually recreating them, saving time and ensuring consistency. For example, if you have a project phase represented as a group with multiple tasks, duplicating that group can help quickly set up a similar phase for a new project.

Properties

Name Meaning
Workspace Name or ID Select the workspace containing the board. Can be chosen from a list or specified via expression.
Board Name or ID Select the Monday.com board where the group exists. Can be chosen from a list or specified via expression.
Group Name or ID Select the existing group on the board to duplicate. Can be chosen from a list or specified via expression.
Group Name Specify the name for the new duplicated group.

Output

The output JSON contains the details of the duplicated group, including at least its id and title. This confirms the successful duplication and provides identifiers for further use in workflows.

Example output structure:

{
  "duplicate_group": {
    "id": "new_group_id",
    "title": "New Group Name"
  }
}

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for Monday.com (referred generically as an API authentication token).
  • The node makes HTTP POST requests to the Monday.com GraphQL API endpoint (https://api.monday.com/v2).
  • Proper permissions on the Monday.com account to read boards and duplicate groups are necessary.
  • n8n configuration must include this API key credential.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing API Key: If the API key is not provided or invalid, the node will throw an error indicating the API key was not found. Ensure the credential is configured correctly.
  • Missing Board or Group ID: The operation requires both a valid board ID and group ID. Errors will occur if these are missing or incorrect. Verify that the selected board and group exist and are accessible.
  • Permission Issues: Insufficient permissions on the Monday.com account may cause failures. Confirm that the API token has rights to duplicate groups on the specified board.
  • Invalid Group Name: Providing an empty or invalid new group name might cause errors. Always specify a valid string for the new group's name.
