API Workflows

// Monday.com GraphQL API Examples

// Create Item
const createItem = `
  mutation {
    create_item (
      board_id: 123456789,
      group_id: "new_group",
      item_name: "New Task",
      column_values: "{\"status\":\"Working on it\",\"person\":\"12345\"}"
    ) {
      id
    }
  }
`;

// Update Status
const updateStatus = `
  mutation {
    change_column_value (
      board_id: 123456789,
      item_id: 987654321,
      column_id: "status",
      value: "{\"label\":\"Done\"}"
    ) {
      id
    }
  }
`;

// Query Items
const queryItems = `
  query {
    boards (ids: 123456789) {
      items_page (limit: 50) {
        items {
          id
          name
          column_values {
            id
            value
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
`;

Best Practices

  • Group Organization: Use groups for workflow stages
  • Consistent Columns: Standardize across boards
  • Automation Rules: Reduce manual updates
  • Mirror Columns: Connect related boards
  • Dashboard Views: Provide executive visibility
  • Templates: Reuse board structures
  • Subitems: Break down complex tasks
  • Dependencies: Show task relationships
