Monday.com integration

monday.com is a work management platform where teams organize work as boards of items with typed columns. This integration lets your WeWeb backend manage boards, groups, columns, items, subitems and updates (comments), use a board's items as a table data source, and react to board events (item created, column changed, item deleted…) via webhook triggers.

Use cases

• Create monday.com items from your app (form submissions, orders, support requests → board items)
• Update item statuses, dates and other column values from backend workflows
• React to board events — item created, renamed, column changed, archived, deleted, update posted — with webhook triggers
• Display and edit a board's items in your app through a WeWeb table
• Post updates (comments) on items and manage boards, groups and columns programmatically

Setup

1. In monday.com, click your profile avatar and open Developers → My Access Tokens. You can also go directly to https://your-account.monday.com/apps/manage/tokens (swap your-account for your account subdomain). Admins can also find the token under Administration → Connections → API (authentication docs).
2. Copy the personal API token.
3. In WeWeb, open the Data & API tab, then the Integrations subtab. Select Monday, then click Add Connection.
4. Paste the Personal API Token. One connection serves all environments (Editor, Staging, Production) — use the environment selector on the connection form, or override the generated MONDAY_API_TOKEN environment variable, to set a different token per environment.
5. Test with a simple action such as List Boards — if the token is valid, you get your boards back.

Enabling triggers (webhook)

The six triggers (see below) are fired by a webhook route on your project's backend. Unlike bot-style integrations, monday.com webhooks are registered per board, through the API itself:

1. On the connection, set Monday Webhook to Enabled and keep the auto-generated Webhook Path — it is an unguessable random path, and its secrecy is part of the endpoint's protection, so avoid sharing it.
2. Save the connection and publish your project — the webhook route must be publicly reachable, because monday verifies the URL with a challenge handshake at registration time.
3. Copy the Webhook URL shown on the connection (each environment has its own URL — the copy button copies the URL of the environment you are viewing).
4. Register a webhook on each board you want to watch with the Create Webhook action: pick the board, the event type (e.g. create_item), and paste the connection's webhook URL as the Target URL. Repeat per board, per event type, and per environment URL you want to receive events on.

THE TARGET URL MUST ANSWER MONDAY'S CHALLENGE

When you run Create Webhook, monday POSTs a { "challenge": "..." } body to the target URL and expects it echoed back. The connection's webhook URL handles this automatically — but if the URL is wrong, the project isn't published, or the webhook isn't enabled on the connection, monday fails the registration with an opaque Internal Server Error.

Deliveries for personal-token webhooks are unsigned — monday sends no signature header. Protection relies on the unguessable webhook path plus the challenge handshake proving URL ownership at registration time.

Triggers

With the webhook enabled and registered on a board, six backend triggers become available. A quirk worth knowing: the event name you subscribe with (in Create Webhook) differs from the legacy type name monday delivers inside the event payload. WeWeb maps both to its triggers — rely on the WeWeb trigger, never on event.type:

Trigger	Subscribe with (event)	Delivered as (event.type)	Item id field
On item created	create_item	create_pulse	event.pulseId
On item name changed	change_name	update_name	event.pulseId
On column value changed	change_column_value	update_column_value	event.pulseId
On item archived	item_archived	archive_pulse	event.itemId
On item deleted	item_deleted	delete_pulse	event.itemId
On update created	create_update	create_update	event.pulseId

Note the payload asymmetry: archive and delete events carry the item id as event.itemId, all the others as event.pulseId. The change_specific_column_value and change_status_column_value subscription variants fire the same On column value changed trigger. Other subscribable events (subitem events, item_moved_*, edit_update…) are acknowledged by the route but fire no trigger.

On item created

Runs when an item is created on a watched board. The item id is event.pulseId.

Example event

{
  "app": "monday",
  "type": "create_pulse",
  "triggerTime": "2026-09-01T12:00:00.000Z",
  "subscriptionId": 123456789,
  "isRetry": false,
  "userId": 12345678,
  "boardId": 1234567890,
  "pulseId": 9876543210,
  "pulseName": "New task",
  "groupId": "topics",
  "groupName": "Group Title",
  "groupColor": "#037f4c",
  "isTopGroup": true,
  "columnValues": {},
  "triggerUuid": "a1b2c3d4e5f6a1b2c3d4e5f6"
}

On item name changed

Runs when an item is renamed on a watched board. The new name is event.value.name, the previous one event.previousValue.name.

Example event

{
  "app": "monday",
  "type": "update_name",
  "triggerTime": "2026-09-01T12:00:00.000Z",
  "subscriptionId": 123456789,
  "isRetry": false,
  "userId": 12345678,
  "boardId": 1234567890,
  "groupId": "topics",
  "pulseId": 9876543210,
  "value": { "name": "Renamed task" },
  "previousValue": { "name": "New task" },
  "triggerUuid": "a1b2c3d4e5f6a1b2c3d4e5f6"
}

On column value changed

Runs when a column value changes on a watched board. The changed column is event.columnId, the new value event.value (a type-specific object). Subscribing with change_specific_column_value or change_status_column_value fires this same trigger.

Example event

{
  "app": "monday",
  "type": "update_column_value",
  "triggerTime": "2026-09-01T12:00:00.000Z",
  "subscriptionId": 123456789,
  "isRetry": false,
  "userId": 12345678,
  "boardId": 1234567890,
  "groupId": "topics",
  "pulseId": 9876543210,
  "pulseName": "New task",
  "columnId": "status",
  "columnType": "color",
  "columnTitle": "Status",
  "value": { "label": { "index": 1, "text": "Done", "style": { "color": "#00c875" } } },
  "previousValue": null,
  "changedAt": 1787574749,
  "isTopGroup": true,
  "triggerUuid": "a1b2c3d4e5f6a1b2c3d4e5f6"
}

On item archived

Runs when an item is archived on a watched board. Note the item id is event.itemId here (not pulseId).

Example event

{
  "app": "monday",
  "type": "archive_pulse",
  "triggerTime": "2026-09-01T12:00:00.000Z",
  "subscriptionId": 123456789,
  "isRetry": false,
  "userId": 12345678,
  "boardId": 1234567890,
  "itemId": 9876543210,
  "itemName": "New task",
  "triggerUuid": "a1b2c3d4e5f6a1b2c3d4e5f6"
}

On item deleted

Runs when an item is deleted from a watched board. Note the item id is event.itemId here (not pulseId).

Example event

{
  "app": "monday",
  "type": "delete_pulse",
  "triggerTime": "2026-09-01T12:00:00.000Z",
  "subscriptionId": 123456789,
  "isRetry": false,
  "userId": 12345678,
  "boardId": 1234567890,
  "itemId": 9876543210,
  "itemName": "New task",
  "triggerUuid": "a1b2c3d4e5f6a1b2c3d4e5f6"
}

On update created

Runs when an update (comment) is posted on an item of a watched board. The plain text is event.textBody, the item id event.pulseId, the update id event.updateId (event.replyId is set when the update is a reply).

Example event

{
  "app": "monday",
  "type": "create_update",
  "triggerTime": "2026-09-01T12:00:00.000Z",
  "subscriptionId": 123456789,
  "isRetry": false,
  "userId": 12345678,
  "boardId": 1234567890,
  "pulseId": 9876543210,
  "body": "<p>Looks good!</p>",
  "textBody": "Looks good!",
  "updateId": 1122334455,
  "replyId": null,
  "triggerUuid": "a1b2c3d4e5f6a1b2c3d4e5f6"
}

Using monday.com as a data source for tables

You can create WeWeb tables backed by a board's items: pick a Board in the table configuration and each item becomes a row.

Columns. The table exposes base columns — Item ID, Name, Group (the group title), State, URL, Created At, Updated At — plus one column per board column, keyed by the monday column id. Values are the column's display text; monday column types map to WeWeb types as follows: numbers, rating, auto_number and progress become numbers, checkbox becomes a boolean, date a date, creation_log and last_updated datetimes — everything else is text.

View options. A view can optionally filter and sort:

• Group — Only return items from one group (empty = all groups). This field is bindable, e.g. to a view parameter via context.parameters for a dynamic per-call group.
• Sort by — Name, Created at Or Updated at (empty keeps the board's own order).
• Sort direction — Ascending (Default) or Descending; shown once Sort by is set.

Pagination is cursor-based only: the offset is an opaque string cursor, with a default page size of 100 and a maximum of 500. The group filter and sort apply on the first page only — the returned cursor carries them forward, so subsequent pages stay filtered and sorted without re-passing them.

Row CRUD. The table ships four generated workflow templates mapping row operations to actions: Get → Get Item, Create → Create Item, Update → Change Multiple Column Values, Delete → Delete Item.

Common pitfalls (setup & usage)

Column values are typed JSON (one shape per column type)

Column values objects are keyed by column id, and the value shape depends on the column type: status { "status": { "label": "Done" } } — date { "date4": { "date": "2026-01-01" } } — people { "people": { "personsAndTeams": [{ "id": 12345678, "kind": "person" }] } } — timeline { "timeline": { "from": "2026-01-01", "to": "2026-01-31" } } — dropdown { "dropdown": { "labels": ["A", "B"] } } — checkbox { "checkbox": { "checked": "true" } } — link { "link": { "url": "https://...", "text": "Docs" } } — email { "email": { "email": "a@b.c", "text": "a@b.c" } } — text and numbers take plain strings ({ "text": "hello", "numbers": "42" }). When in doubt, Change Simple Column Value is the escape hatch: plain string values, and an empty string clears the column. See the column types reference.

monday silently drops unknown column ids and wrong value shapes

Writing column values with an unknown column id, or a value object in the wrong shape for the column type, does not error — the write succeeds and the column stays empty. Only invalid simple-string values fail loudly (e.g. This status label doesn't exist... on a status column). After a write with computed column ids or shapes, verify with Get Item before trusting it.

Renaming an item is a column write

monday has no rename mutation: Change Item Name writes the item's name column via change_simple_column_value — which is why it needs the Board on top of the Item ID. Renaming an item this way fires the On item name changed trigger, like a rename in the UI.

Cursors and filters are mutually exclusive

On List Items and Get Items By Column Value, the board scope and column filters apply on the first page only. When you pass a Cursor, the board/filter inputs are ignored — the cursor carries the whole query forward, so send only the cursor for subsequent pages. cursor: null in a result means the last page. Cursors expire after about 60 minutes.

Rate limits

monday enforces a complexity budget per account rather than a flat request count — heavy queries exhaust it faster. On top of that, Create Board and Duplicate Board are capped at 40 mutations per minute. See the rate limits docs.

The default "Main workspace" may be missing from workspace pickers

On some plans the workspaces API only returns explicitly created workspaces, so the default Main workspace doesn't appear in the Workspace dropdowns. Leaving the field empty targets the Main workspace — that's the way to create boards there.

Archive vs delete

Archiving (boards, groups, items) is recoverable from the monday.com UI; deleting is permanent. Prefer the archive actions unless permanent removal is intended. Also note the state/archived flags returned right after an archive call can lag behind the operation — don't build assertions on them immediately after the write.

Board pickers are design-time only

The Board, Column and Workspace dropdowns are not bindable — their values drive dependent dropdowns and field visibility, so workflows use ids picked (or pasted) at design time. You cannot bind a board id to a board created earlier in the same workflow. Group pickers, Item ID, Cursor and all value fields are bindable, so chaining a Create Group result into Create Item works fine.

All ids are strings

monday ids look numeric but the API treats them as strings — pass and compare them as strings ("1234567890"). Group ids are genuinely textual (e.g. topics).

A nonexistent board: empty result vs error

Get Board follows monday's list semantics and returns [] for a nonexistent or inaccessible board id — not an error. The board-scoped list actions (List Items, List Groups, List Columns) instead throw Board ... not found or not accessible, so an empty result from them always means a real, empty board.

Documentation of API endpoint that powers action: monday.com API – Columns (change_column_value)

Change Simple Column Value

Set a single column value of an item using the simple string format (e.g. Done for a status column, 2026-01-01 for a date). An empty value clears the column. Unlike JSON-format writes, invalid simple values fail loudly (e.g. This status label doesn't exist...).

Inputs

Display Key	Example Input	Description	Restrictions
Board	"1234567890"	The board the item belongs to.	Required; design-time picker
Item ID	"9876543210"	ID of the item to update.	Required
Column	"status"	The column to update.	Required; design-time picker; shown once a Board is selected
Value	"Done"	Simple string value, e.g. Done for a status column, 2026-01-01 for a date. An empty value clears the column.	Required; string
Create labels if missing Optional	false	Create missing status/dropdown labels on the fly instead of failing. Requires board owner permissions.	Boolean, default false

Example output: the full item object, as in Change Column Value.

Error handling

Errors come from two places: guards WeWeb raises before/around the call, and monday.com GraphQL errors passed through as-is.

Error	Raised by	Reason
Board <id> not found or not accessible with this connection	WeWeb	Thrown by the board-scoped reads (List Items, List Groups, List Columns) when the board id doesn't exist or the token can't access it. (Get Board instead returns [], following monday's list semantics.)
monday table view: board <id> not found or not accessible / monday table view: board_id is not configured	WeWeb	The table data source's board is missing, deleted, or not accessible with the connection's token.
400 — { "code": "MISSING_API_TOKEN" }	WeWeb	The connection has no API token for the current environment — raised by the editor's dropdown/core functions (board, group, column, workspace, user pickers).
Authentication error (e.g. Not Authenticated)	monday.com	Invalid, revoked or empty API token on an action — passed through from the GraphQL API.
Internal Server Error	monday.com	Opaque error returned by Create Webhook when the target URL does not echo the challenge handshake (URL wrong, webhook disabled on the connection, or project not published).
Column value errors, e.g. This status label doesn't exist, possible statuses are: ...	monday.com	An invalid simple string value on a typed column. Note the asymmetry: wrongly-shaped value objects and unknown column ids do NOT error — they are silently ignored.
Complexity / rate-limit errors	monday.com	The account's complexity budget is exhausted, or Create Board/Duplicate Board exceeded their 40 mutations/minute cap — wait for the window to reset and retry.

FAQs

Where do I find my monday.com API token?

Click your profile avatar in monday.com and open Developers → My Access Tokens, or go to https://your-account.monday.com/apps/manage/tokens. Admins can also find it under Administration → Connections → API. It's a personal token — API calls act as that user.

Why does Create Webhook fail with "Internal Server Error"?

monday returns this opaque error when the Target URL fails the challenge handshake — it POSTs { "challenge": "..." } at registration and expects it echoed back. Check, in order: the URL is the connection's webhook URL (copy it from the connection settings), Monday Webhook is Enabled on the connection, and the project has been published so the route is publicly reachable.

Why don't my triggers fire?

Triggers need three things: the webhook enabled on the connection, the project published, and a webhook registered on the specific board via Create Webhook with the right event type (one webhook per board per event). Use List Webhooks on the board to verify. Also remember each environment has its own webhook URL — a webhook registered against the Editor URL doesn't fire Production triggers.

Why did my column update succeed but change nothing?

monday silently ignores unknown column ids and wrongly-shaped value objects in Column values — the write succeeds and those columns stay empty. Double-check the column ids with List Columns and the value shape for the column type (see the pitfall cheat sheet), or use Change Simple Column Value, whose invalid values fail loudly. Verify with Get Item after computed writes.

How do I paginate through board items?

List Items and Get Items By Column Value are cursor-based: the first page takes the board (and filters); every subsequent call takes only the Cursor from the previous result — it carries the board scope and filters forward. cursor: null means the last page. Cursors expire after ~60 minutes, and the page size maxes out at 500.

How do I rename an item?

Use Change Item Name. monday has no rename mutation — the action writes the item's name column (via change_simple_column_value), which is why it asks for the Board as well as the Item ID. Renames done this way fire the On item name changed trigger like a manual rename.

Why is my Main workspace missing from the workspace dropdown?

On some plans the workspaces API only returns explicitly created workspaces, not the default Main workspace. Leave the Workspace field empty to target the Main workspace (e.g. in Create Board).
