Dependencies

Requires an API key credential for Monday.com with appropriate permissions to create updates on items.
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.

Troubleshooting

API Key Not Found: The node throws an error if the API key credential is missing or invalid. Ensure the API key is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
Missing Required Parameters: Errors occur if required fields like workspace, board, or item IDs are not provided. Double-check that these inputs are set.
Invalid Update ID for Reply: When creating a reply, specifying a non-existent or incorrect update ID will cause failure. Verify the update ID is valid.
GraphQL Errors: Any syntax or permission errors returned by the Monday.com API will be surfaced. Review the error messages for details and adjust inputs accordingly.
