Hi @kevinmarchese

Here’s a sample request to create an item in a board:

const axios = require('axios')

const body = {

  query: `

	mutation ($boardId: Int!, $groupId: String!, $itemName: String!, $columnValues: JSON!) {

	  create_item (

	    board_id: $boardId,

	    group_id: $groupId,

	    item_name: $itemName,

	    column_values: $columnValues

	  ) {

	    id

	  }

	}

  `,

  variables: {

  	boardId: 1234567,

	groupId: "topics",

	itemName: "New item name",

	columnValues: JSON.stringify({ status: { index: 1 } })

  }

}

axios.post(`https://api.monday.com/v2`, body, {

    headers: {

      Authorization: 'API_TOKEN'

    }

  })

  .catch(err => {

    console.error(err.data)

  })

  .then(res => {

    console.log(res.data)

  })

@danielco 🤩 I don’t even know what to say right now! Thank you of course! but its not enough for the time you saved me! I love yo…wait too strong. Seriously @danielco THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN!!!

Now that I know what I’m doing wrong and the correct structor I’m confident that I can figure the rest out based on this…so you gave me a great gift today and I hope one day I can at least pay it forward.

Glad i could help 🙂

Let me know if you need more examples or have any issues

Hello Daniel,

This particular example I can’t get working. I get this error:

{ errors:

> { message: ‘Integer isn’t a defined input type (on $boardId)’,

locations: aArray],

fields: fArray] } ] }

-All i changed was board id, and added my api key

Never Mind. there was a typo. It all works now.

This is the code that worked for me:

const axios = require(‘axios’);

axios({ url: ‘https://api.monday.com/v2’, headers: {

Authorization: myapikey

},

method: ‘post’,

data: {

query: mutation create_item($boardId: Int!, $groupId: String!, $itemName: String!, $columnValues: JSON!) { create_item ( board_id: $boardId, group_id: $groupId, item_name: $itemName, column_values: $columnValues ) { id } } ,

variables: {

boardId: 12345,

groupId: “Test”,

itemName: "New item ",

columnValues: JSON.stringify({ status: { index: 1 } })

}

}

}).then((result) => {

console.log(result.data)

})

.catch(function (error) {

console.log(error)

});

Thanks for posting your revised code! I’ve gone ahead and edited the original post to reflect the correct formatting.

yes, I remember having to change to $boardId: Int! because it was just integer!, or something along these lines. It was close enough though to be very helpful.

I’m glad to hear it was helpful @kevinmarchese!
