Board → Duplicate a Group

AI-generated

Overview

The node interacts with Monday.com boards and their components, specifically supporting operations on boards, groups, items, updates, teams, users, and custom queries. For the Board resource and the Duplicate a Group operation, it duplicates an existing group within a specified board, optionally renaming the duplicated group.

This operation is useful when you want to replicate a group structure (including its columns and settings) inside the same board without manually recreating it. For example, if you have a project phase group with specific columns and you want to create a similar phase group quickly, duplicating the group saves time and ensures consistency.

Properties

Name	Meaning
Workspace Name or ID	Select the workspace containing the board. Can be chosen from a list or specified by ID expression.
Board Name or ID	Select the Monday board where the group exists. Can be chosen from a list or specified by ID expression. Required.
Group Name or ID	Select the group to duplicate from the selected board. Can be chosen from a list or specified by ID expression. Required.
Group Name	The name for the new duplicated group. Enter a string value.

Output

The output JSON contains the result of the GraphQL mutation duplicating the group. It includes at least the duplicated group's id and title. The structure looks like:

{
  "data": {
    "duplicate_group": {
      "id": "newGroupId",
      "title": "New Group Name"
    }
  }
}

This confirms the successful duplication and provides identifiers for further use in workflows.

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 permissions on the Monday.com account are necessary to duplicate groups on boards.

Troubleshooting

Missing API Key: If the API key is not provided or invalid, the node throws an error "API Key not found". Ensure the API key credential is configured correctly.
Missing Board or Group ID: The node requires both Board ID and Group ID to perform duplication. Errors will occur if these are missing or invalid.
Invalid Group Name: The new group name must be a valid string. Omitting or providing an empty name may cause errors.
Permission Issues: Insufficient permissions on the Monday.com account or board can cause failures. Verify that the API key has rights to modify the board.
API Rate Limits: Excessive requests might hit rate limits; handle such errors by retrying after some delay.
