Monday.com - Update Item

↩ Part of the Monday.com integration.

Description

This module updates one or more columns of an item with the change_multiple_column_values GraphQL mutation:

mutation($board_id: ID!, $item_id: ID!, $column_values: JSON!) {
  change_multiple_column_values(board_id: $board_id, item_id: $item_id, column_values: $column_values) {
    id
    name
  }
}

The update is partial: only the columns present in column_values change. Monday needs the board id as well as the item id, so both fields are required here.

Configuration

Field	Type	Required	Description
`credentials_id`	credentials	Yes	Monday credential
`board_id`	text	Yes	Numeric board id
`item_id`	text	Yes	Numeric item id
`column_values`	json	Yes	Column values to write, as JSON

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)

Usage Example

Move a deal to “Done”

{
  "credentials_id": 8,
  "board_id": "1234567890",
  "item_id": "{{data.id}}",
  "column_values": {
    "status":  { "label": "Done" },
    "date4":   { "date": "2026-03-05" },
    "numbers": "4200"
  }
}

Assign an owner and add a note

{
  "credentials_id": 8,
  "board_id": "1234567890",
  "item_id": "{{data.id}}",
  "column_values": {
    "person": { "personsAndTeams": [ { "id": 12345678, "kind": "person" } ] },
    "text":   "Reviewed automatically by the workflow"
  }
}

Notes

column_values is required here. Without it the node stops with a validation error and never calls Monday.
The keys are column ids. Use Get Item once against a real item to discover them.
To clear a column, send its empty form, for example { "status": {} } or { "text": "" }.
Monday answers HTTP 200 even when the mutation fails. A wrongly shaped value raises a ColumnValueException, which the node surfaces as a validation error and does not retry.
Passing a board_id that does not own the item_id is an error on Monday’s side, not a silent no-op.

Monday.com - Get Item — read the current values and the column ids first.
Monday.com - Create Item — create the item instead of updating it.
Monday.com - Add Update — leave a comment explaining the change.
