Monday.com integration

Overview

monday.com is a flexible work-management platform built around Boards (spreadsheets), Items (rows), and Columns (typed fields). The Automize monday connector covers board CRUD, item operations, column management, updates (comments), and user lookup via monday's GraphQL API.

• Regions: monday.com is a single global platform – api.monday.com. No region selector.
• Plans: Free, Basic, Standard, Pro, Enterprise – all expose the API. API rate limits and complexity budgets are uniform.

Rate limits

monday uses a complexity-based rate limit – each GraphQL query has a complexity score, and you have a budget per minute (~10,000 points/min for paid plans). The connector reads the X-RateLimit-Remaining header in responses and backs off. Heavy queries should request only the columns you actually need to keep complexity down.

Data model

monday's primitives:

    Account ─┬─ Workspaces

                        ├─ Columns (typed: text, status, person, date, numbers, etc.)
                        └─ Items (rows) ─┬─ Column Values (one per column)
                                          ├─ Sub-items
                                          └─ Updates (comments)

Tips

• board_id + item_name.

Duplicate item

Duplicate a Monday.com item.

Get board

Tips

• Returns board + columns + groups + (paginated) items.
• Use ids[board_id] form, even for a single board.

Get item

Get Monday.com item details by ID.

Tips

• item_id. Returns column values, group, board, subitems, updates.

List boards

List all Monday.com boards.

No input parameters.

FAQ

Column value format errors – what's the trick?

Each column type has its own value shape. Status: {label:'Done'} or {index:1}. Date: {date:'2026-05-12'}. Person: {personsAndTeams:[{id:123, kind:'person'}]}. monday's developer docs list each format – get the shape wrong and you get a generic 'invalid value' error.

Why is my query slow / hitting rate limits?

GraphQL complexity. Each field has a score. Asking for items + their updates + their replies multiplies fast. Request only what you need; paginate large queries.

Cursor pagination vs page-based?

monday's items_page is cursor-based and recommended for new builds. The page-based items endpoint is deprecated but still works.

Can I use monday Webhooks?

Yes – create them in monday UI or via Create Webhook (not currently in this connector). Point them at the Automize webhook URL for event-driven flows.
