1.1 Workflow description

Title
Monday.com useful utilities
Workflow name
Monday.com useful utilities

This template is a set of building blocks to access Monday.com in ways not supported by the official Monday node.

Prerequisites

  • Monday account and Monday credentials.

Included are setups to:

  • Find a column value by the column's name (instead of a numerical index which can change when board structure is changed)
  • Find a column value by the column's ID (again, instead of using a numerical index)
  • Pull a board relation column, and get all the related pulses
  • Pull an items subitems and split them out
  • Upload a file to an item's files field

Setup

  • Create a Monday.com credential
  • Update the nodes in the template to use your credential
  • Copy/Paste the nodes you need from this template into any other workflow
  • To retreive a column by name:
    • Route a Monday.com node that gets an item to the COLUMN BY NAME node
    • Edit the COLUMN BY NAME node, and enter the name in the first line of code.
  • To retreive a column by its ID:
    • Follow Monday.com's instructions to locate the column's ID
    • Route a Monday.com node that gets an item to the COLUMN BY ID node -Edit the COLUMN BY ID node, and enter the ID in the first line of code.
  • To retreive all linked pulses from a Board Relation column:
    • Route a Monday.com node that gets an item to the GET BOARD RELATION node
    • Edit the GET BOARD RELATION node to specify the column name.
    • All linked pulses will be retrieved by the subsequent PULL LINKEDPULSE node
  • To pull all subitems from an item:
    • Route a Monday.com node that gets an item to the PULL SUBITEMS node
    • All subitems will be retrieved by the subsequent GET EACH SUBITEM node
  • To upload a File:
    • Repalce the Convert to File node with whatever node you are using to output your binary file data
    • Enable the MONDAY UPLOAD node
    • If the destination column is named anything other then the default of "file" - edit the MONDAY UPLOAD node and change column_id:"file" in the first Value field to match the name of your file column

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/2073/2073.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
