Overview
This node interacts with Monday.com updates, specifically supporting operations such as listing, creating, updating, deleting, pinning, duplicating updates, and managing files attached to updates. The "Delete" operation under the "Update" resource allows users to delete a specific update by its ID.
Common scenarios include:
- Automating the removal of outdated or irrelevant updates from Monday.com boards.
- Cleaning up update threads programmatically based on workflow conditions.
- Managing update lifecycle within project management automation.
Example use case:
- Automatically delete an update when a related task is marked as completed or canceled in your workflow.

Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for Monday.com (referred generically as an API authentication token).
- Makes HTTP POST requests to the Monday.com GraphQL API endpoint:
https://api.monday.com/v2
. - The node expects proper configuration of the API key credential in n8n to authenticate requests.
Troubleshooting
- API Key Not Found: If the API key credential is missing or invalid, the node will throw an error indicating the API key was not found. Ensure the credential is configured correctly.
- Update ID Required: If the "Update ID" property is empty or invalid, the node will fail. Make sure to provide a valid update ID.
- Unsupported Operation or Resource: Using an unsupported operation or resource will cause errors. Confirm that the resource is set to "Update" and operation to "Delete".
- GraphQL Errors: If the deletion fails due to permissions or non-existent update ID, the API response will contain error messages. Check that the API key has sufficient permissions and the update ID exists.
