BUG? - API-created timeline items triggered automation, now 3,466 items undeletable

Documentation states: “Timeline items created via the API won’t trigger automations that run when a new E&A timeline item is created.”

However, my automation DID trigger during a CRM migration. The items created during those automation runs (using shortLivedToken) are now:

  • Undeletable via API (UNAUTHORIZED)

  • Undeletable via UI

  • Unreadable via API

I’ve tried personal API tokens, admin tokens, and app OAuth tokens. Nothing works. Support ticket submitted but no response.

Has anyone else encountered this? Is there any way to delete these items, or does this require Monday.com engineering?
