Configuration
4 fields, 3 required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Constraints | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
board_id The board's id. | string | Yes | — | — | — |
item_id The item's id. | string | Yes | — | — | — |
column_values A JSON object keyed by column id — e.g. {"text": "hi", "status": {"label": "Done"}, "date4": {"date": "2026-06-15"}}. Per type: 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. | object | Yes | — | — | — |
create_labels_if_missing Create a status or dropdown label that does not exist yet instead of failing. | boolean | No | — | — | — |
Output
One shape.

}Notes
- Column keys are column *ids* (list_columns reports them), not the titles shown in the board header.
- A people column write replaces everyone assigned: read the current value first if you mean to add someone.
See Change Multiple Column Values run in a workflow.
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.
