Item create with the column values
In this example, we will guide you through the process of creating a new item on a specific board on Monday.com using just two straightforward steps. Additionally, as part of this example, we will demonstrate how to fill specific columns with predefined values.
Prerequisites
It is necessary to have columns named Priority and Status within the Monday.com board where new item will be created. Additionally, ensure that the Priority column has a value like Medium and the Status column has a value like Working on it.
To successfully configure the Monday Item Create connector, you must obtain three key pieces of information:
- the Api token
- the Board ID
- the Column ID
You can acquire these details by visiting support.monday.com. The Api token serves as the authentication mechanism, ensuring secure communication between Integray and Monday.com, while the Board ID identifies the specific board where a new item will be created. The Column ID refers to the unique identifier of a specific column.
When these prerequisites are met, you can seamlessly proceed with configuring the connector.
Configuration
Add a new Task and name it Monday item create.
Add a first Task step:
- Step name: Define input
- Connector: JS Mapper
Open the Task step editor by clicking the button with the pencil symbol.
Insert the following code into the JS Mapping statement configuration.
return [
{
"BoardID": "1111111111",
"ItemName": "This text will be displayed as Item name",
"ColumnValues": [
{
"ColumnID": "project_status",
"Value": "Working on it"
},
{
"ColumnID": "priority",
"Value": "Medium"
}
]
}
]
Adjust the configuration based on your own BoardID and ColumnID values.
Select the Output schema Monday Item Create Input.
The setting of the first step can look like follows:
Add a second Task step:
- Step name: Create item
- Connector: Monday Item Create
Open the second step's Task step editor by clicking the pencil symbol button.
In the configuration section, insert Api token.
In the Input mapping section, map the values BoardID, ItemName and ColumnValuesfrom the input.
Press the Publish button.
Execute the task.
