monday.com API

What authentication does the monday.com API use?

The monday.com API uses Bearer token authentication. Include your API token in the Authorization header as 'Bearer {token}'. Tokens are generated from your monday.com admin panel. Through Jentic, these tokens are stored encrypted in your Jentic One instance and agents receive scoped credentials without touching raw secrets.

Can I create items with specific column values using the monday.com API?

Yes. Use the create_item mutation with the column_values parameter set to a JSON string mapping column IDs to typed values. For example, a status column accepts its index value, a date column accepts 'YYYY-MM-DD', and a people column accepts an array of person IDs. The column type determines the expected value format.

What are the rate limits for the monday.com API?

monday.com applies complexity-based rate limiting rather than per-request limits. Each query has a complexity cost based on the fields and depth requested. The default budget is 10,000,000 complexity points per minute. Query responses include a complexity field showing the cost and remaining budget.

How do I query items across multiple boards through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'query monday.com board items'. Jentic returns the POST / GraphQL endpoint schema. Construct a boards query with IDs parameter listing your target board IDs, nest items_page with column_values, and execute. Pagination uses cursor-based tokens returned in the response.

Is the monday.com API GraphQL or REST?

The monday.com API is entirely GraphQL. All operations (queries and mutations) go through a single POST endpoint at https://api.monday.com/v2. You construct GraphQL queries to read data (boards, items, columns) and mutations to write data (create_item, change_column_value, archive_item).

Can I set up webhooks for board changes?

Yes. Use the create_webhook mutation specifying the board_id, target URL, and event type (e.g., 'change_column_value', 'create_item'). monday.com sends POST payloads to your URL when matching events occur. You can also filter webhooks to specific columns using the config parameter.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the monday.com API?

Yes. Because monday.com exposes a single GraphQL endpoint where the board and item target travels in the request body, your self-hosted Jentic One instance lets you decide exactly which operations the agent may call, such as creating an item or reading board data. Your own rules control the operation list, so a destructive mutation like deleting a board is not available to the agent unless you explicitly add it. The token that authorizes those calls is stored by your instance and injected at execution, so the agent only ever runs the operations you permit.
