Monday.com consultants

Q: How does n8n connect to Monday.com?

n8n uses Monday.com's GraphQL API with an API token for authentication. You generate a personal or integration-level API token in Monday.com's admin settings and add it as a credential in n8n. The API token determines what boards and data the workflow can access, so choose the appropriate scope for your use case.

Q: Can I create Monday.com items automatically from form submissions?

Yes, this is a common workflow. You set up a Webhook or Form Trigger node in n8n to receive the submission, then use the Monday.com node to create a new item on the appropriate board with the form data mapped to the right columns. You can also add files, set assignees, and post an initial update comment in the same workflow.

Q: Can I sync Monday.com with my CRM?

Absolutely. n8n can connect Monday.com to CRMs like HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive. A typical setup creates a new Monday.com item when a deal reaches a certain stage, or updates the CRM record when a task is completed on Monday.com. This keeps your sales and delivery teams working from the same data.

Q: How do I handle Monday.com's column types in n8n?

Monday.com has specific data formats for different column types (status, date, people, dropdown). When updating items through n8n, you need to format values according to Monday.com's column value JSON format. Status columns use index values, date columns need ISO format, and people columns require user IDs. The n8n documentation covers these formats.

Q: Can I trigger n8n workflows from Monday.com events?

Monday.com does not have traditional webhooks, but you can use Monday.com's native integrations to send an HTTP request to an n8n Webhook node when specific events happen (like status changes or item creation). Alternatively, you can poll the Monday.com API on a schedule to check for changes.

Q: Is there a limit on how many Monday.com API calls n8n can make?

Monday.com's API has rate limits based on complexity points rather than simple request counts. Each API call consumes a certain number of points depending on the query complexity. The limits vary by plan — standard plans get fewer points per minute than enterprise plans. Build your workflows to batch operations where possible to stay within limits.

About Monday.com

Monday.com is a work management platform that teams use for project tracking, task management, and workflow coordination. It organises work into boards with customisable columns for status, assignee, dates, files, and other data types. Teams across sales, marketing, operations, and development use it as a central place to track what needs doing, who is doing it, and when it is due.

The n8n Monday.com node lets you automate interactions with Monday.com boards — creating items, updating statuses, adding comments, reading board data, and managing groups and columns programmatically. This is useful for scenarios like automatically creating Monday.com items from form submissions, syncing project status with external tools, updating boards based on CRM events, or pulling board data into reports and dashboards.

Osher integrates Monday.com with other business systems for Australian organisations. Typical projects include connecting Monday.com to CRM platforms so new deals automatically create project boards, syncing task completion with invoicing systems, and building automation that moves items between boards based on workflow stages. If your team is manually updating Monday.com from data that exists elsewhere, our business automation team can connect the dots.

How it works

We work hand-in-hand with you to implement Monday.com

As Monday.com consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate Monday.com with integrate and automate 800+ tools.

Step 1

Generate Your Monday.com API Token

Log into Monday.com, click your profile avatar, go to Developers > My Access Tokens, and generate a new API token. For production workflows, consider creating a dedicated integration user so the token is not tied to a personal account that might be deactivated if someone leaves the team.

Step 2

Add Credentials in n8n

In n8n, create a new Monday.com credential and paste your API token. Test the connection by adding a Monday.com node and listing your boards. If you see your boards listed, the credential is working correctly and has the right permissions.

Step 3

Map Your Board Structure

Identify which Monday.com boards and columns your workflow needs to interact with. Note the board IDs, group IDs, and column IDs — you will need these when configuring the Monday.com node. Column IDs are different from column names, so check them in the board’s API documentation or column settings.

Step 4

Build the Workflow Logic

Create your n8n workflow starting with the appropriate trigger (webhook, schedule, or event from another system). Add Monday.com nodes for the operations you need — creating items, updating column values, adding updates, or moving items between groups. Format column values according to Monday.com’s expected JSON format.

Step 5

Test with a Sandbox Board

Create a test board in Monday.com that mirrors your production board structure. Run your workflow against this test board to verify that items are created correctly, statuses update properly, and data maps to the right columns. This avoids accidentally creating test data on your real project boards.

Step 6

Deploy and Monitor API Usage

Switch your workflow to point at your production boards and activate it. Monitor your Monday.com API complexity points usage to ensure you stay within your plan limits. Set up error notifications so you are alerted if the API returns rate limit errors or authentication failures.
