Monday.com - Get Item

↩ Part of the Monday.com integration.

Description

This module reads one item by its id with the items GraphQL query:

query($id: ID!) {
  items(ids: [$id]) {
    id
    name
    column_values { id text value }
  }
}

Every column comes back with three fields: its id, a human-readable text and the raw value as JSON, which is what you need if you plan to feed it back into an update.

Configuration

Field	Type	Required	Description
`credentials_id`	credentials	Yes	Monday credential
`item_id`	text	Yes	Numeric item id

Credentials

This module requires a Monday credential.

Field	Description
`token`	Personal API token (Avatar → Developers → My access tokens)
`timeout`	Optional. Request timeout in milliseconds (default 20000)

Output

{
  "nextModule": null,
  "data": {
    "id": "987654321",
    "name": "Acme Ltd",
    "column_values": [
      { "id": "status",  "text": "Working on it", "value": "{\"index\":0}" },
      { "id": "email",   "text": "ops@acme.com",  "value": "{\"email\":\"ops@acme.com\",\"text\":\"ops@acme.com\"}" },
      { "id": "numbers", "text": "4200",          "value": "\"4200\"" }
    ]
  },
  "_meta": {
    "moduleVersion": "1.0.0",
    "success": true,
    "id": "987654321",
    "totalMs": 194
  }
}

If the id does not match any item, data is null and the node still reports success — check for null in the next node.

Usage Example

Read a fixed item

{
  "credentials_id": 8,
  "item_id": "987654321"
}

Read the item created by a previous node

{
  "credentials_id": 8,
  "item_id": "{{data.id}}"
}

Notes

This is the easiest way to discover the column ids you need for Create Item and Update Item: run it once against a real item and read the id of each entry in column_values.
text is the display value and value is the raw JSON as a string. Parse value when you need the structured form.
The node reads a single item. To list many, filter a board or run a paginated query, use GraphQL Query.
A deleted item, or an item in a board your token cannot see, comes back as null rather than as an error.

Monday.com - Update Item — write back after reading.
Monday.com - GraphQL Query — read several items, boards or groups at once.
Monday.com - Delete Item — remove the item.
