Interact with Monday.com boards and items

Actions26

Overview

This node enables interaction with Monday.com items, specifically allowing users to upload files directly into a file column of an item on a Monday board. It is useful in scenarios where you want to automate the process of attaching files (such as documents, images, or other media) to specific items within a project management board.

For example, you might use this node to:

Automatically upload a contract PDF to a client item when a new deal is created.
Attach design mockups to a task item after they are finalized.
Add supporting documentation files to an issue or bug report item.

This operation streamlines file management within Monday.com boards by integrating file uploads into automated workflows.

Output

The output JSON contains the response from the Monday.com API after attempting to upload the file to the specified item column. Typically, it includes:

id: The identifier of the newly added file entry.
url: The URL where the uploaded file can be accessed.

No binary data is output by this node; it only returns metadata about the uploaded file.

Dependencies

Requires an API key credential for Monday.com with permissions to access and modify boards and items.
The node uses Monday.com's GraphQL API endpoint at https://api.monday.com/v2.
Input data must include a binary property containing the file data to upload.

Troubleshooting

No valid file data found in input: This error occurs if the specified binary property does not exist or contains no data. Ensure the input to the node includes a binary file under the correct property name.
Binary property "X" is undefined: Indicates the named binary property was not found in the current input item. Verify the binary property name matches exactly and that the previous node outputs the expected binary data.
API Key not found: The node requires a valid Monday.com API key configured in credentials. Make sure the credential is set up correctly.
Item ID or Board ID missing: These are required parameters. Confirm that the item and board IDs are provided either by selection or expression.
File Column ID missing or invalid: The file column must be a valid file-type column on the board. Use the dropdown to select or provide a valid ID.
