Overview
This node integrates with Monday.com to manage updates on items within boards. Specifically, the Update - Upload operation allows users to upload files to an update associated with a particular item on a Monday.com board. This is useful for attaching relevant documents, images, or other files directly to updates, facilitating better collaboration and record-keeping.
Common scenarios include:
- Attaching meeting notes or reports to project updates.
- Uploading design files or screenshots related to a task update.
- Adding supporting documentation to status updates in workflows.
Example: You have a task item on a Monday.com board and want to programmatically attach a PDF report as part of an update to keep all stakeholders informed.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Board Name or ID | Select the Monday.com board where the item exists. Can be chosen from a list or specified by ID. |
| Item Name or ID | Select the specific item within the board to which the update belongs. Choose from list or by ID. |
Note: These properties are required to identify the exact location (board and item) where the file upload will be performed.
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the file upload operation to the update. The structure typically includes identifiers and metadata confirming the successful attachment of the file to the update.
If binary data is involved (the file to upload), it is expected to be provided as input to the node under a specified binary property name (e.g., data).
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for Monday.com with appropriate permissions to access boards, items, and updates.
- The node makes HTTP POST requests to the Monday.com GraphQL API endpoint (
https://api.monday.com/v2). - Input binary data must be correctly set up in n8n to provide the file content for upload.
Troubleshooting
- API Key Not Found: Ensure that the Monday.com API key credential is configured and valid.
- Board or Item ID Missing: Both board and item IDs are mandatory; verify these inputs are correctly set.
- Binary Property Undefined: If the binary property containing the file is missing or incorrectly named, the node will throw an error. Confirm the binary property name matches the input data.
- Unsupported Operation: Using an operation other than "uploadFile" under the Update resource will cause errors.
- File Upload Failures: Check file size limits and file type restrictions imposed by Monday.com.
