Monday Item Column Values Writer

[ | version 3.2]

Connector

The connector is permitted for use of the platform background agent.

Connector processing type: Row by row!

The monday item column values writer connector enables the creation and update of the item column values in boards in monday.com work management platform. The connector allows the creation and update of the specified columns' values based on the column ID and provided value.

The column values must match the expected value formatting of the column type the user attempts to change. Dependending on the column type, some columns will accept only JSON values, and some will accept both Strings and JSON values.

Some of the columns in monday.com are auto-calculated based on other properties. These columns cannot be updated via this connector. Our write connector is restricted by monday.com API functionality and therefore select columns cannot be updated.

  • Auto-calculated columns based on other properties: Auto number column, Formula column, Item ID column, Progress tracking column.

  • Select columns: Button column, Color picker column, Creation log column, Files column, Last updated column, Mirror column, Time tracking column, Vote column.

As from version 3.1., the connector allows the creation of a new item, if you provide the ItemName and the GroupID as input. The columns values are working t

    {
"BoardID": "9999999999",
"ItemID": "123456",
"ColumnValues": [
    { "ColumnID": "status", "Value": "{ \"label\": \"Stuck\" }" },
    { "ColumnID": "text", "Value": "This is an integration test" },
