5 fields, 4 required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.

board_id The board's id.	string	Yes	—	—	—
item_id The item's id.	string	Yes	—	—	—
column_id The column's id, as list_columns reports it — not its title.	string	Yes	—	—	—
value The column's value, e.g. {"label": "Done"} for a status column or {"date": "2026-06-15"} for a date column. text → "any text"; long_text → {"text": "any text"}; number → "42.5" (a string, not a bare number); status → {"label": "Done"} or {"index": 1} (index is the label id); date → {"date": "2026-06-15", "time": "09:00:00"} (time optional, UTC); people → {"personsAndTeams": [{"id": 12345678, "kind": "person"}]}; dropdown → {"labels": ["Marketing"]} or {"ids": [1, 2]}; link → {"url": "https://example.com", "text": "Example"}; email → {"email": "a@example.com", "text": "a@example.com"} (both required); phone → {"phone": "+12025550169", "countryShortName": "US"}; checkbox → {"checked": "true"}. It is sent as monday's JSON-encoded string for you.	string	Yes	—	—	—

}

monday.com's JSON scalar is a string containing JSON, so the value is encoded for you: pass the object, not a hand-escaped string.

In a technical demo we add the Monday.com connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
