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 includes the item's updates 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 in recurring project management scenarios or templated workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
Workspace Name or ID Select the workspace containing the board. Can be chosen from a list or specified by expression.
Board Name or ID Select the Monday board where the item exists. Can be chosen from a list or specified by expression.
Is Subitem Boolean indicating if the item to duplicate is a subitem (true) or a parent item (false).
Item Name or ID The ID of the item to duplicate (used if Is Subitem is false).
Parent Item Name or ID The ID of the parent item if duplicating a subitem (used if Is Subitem is true).
Subitem Name or ID The ID of the subitem to duplicate (used if Is Subitem is true).
With Updates Boolean indicating whether to include the item's updates in the duplication process.

Output

The output JSON contains the result of the duplication mutation from Monday.com's API. Typically, it returns the duplicated item's ID. The structure looks like:

{
  "data": {
    "duplicate_item": {
      "id": "new_item_id"
    }
  }
}

If the duplication includes updates, those are also handled internally but not explicitly detailed in the output beyond the new 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.
  • The workspace, board, and item IDs must be valid and accessible with the provided API key.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing API Key: The node throws an error if the API key credential is missing or invalid. Ensure the API key is set up correctly.
  • Missing Required Parameters: Errors occur if required parameters like Item ID or Board ID are not provided. Double-check that these fields are filled.
  • Invalid Item or Board IDs: If the specified item or board does not exist or the user lacks permission, the API will return errors. Verify IDs and permissions.
  • Subitem Duplication: When duplicating subitems, ensure both the parent item ID and subitem ID are correctly specified.
  • With Updates Option: Including updates may fail if the original item has no updates or if the API limits are exceeded.
  • API Rate Limits: Monday.com enforces rate limits; excessive requests may cause temporary failures.
