Create a pulse with column values

Hi, I’m trying to create a pulse via Node.JS with axios. I started with the example that is on this forum and edited it for my needs but I can’t get my code to add the column values for the pulse. What am I doing wrong?

// Packages
const axios = require("axios"),
    fs = require("fs");

// Files
const config = require("../config.json")

// Code
const body = {
    title: "Test bug",
    culprit: "util/testers/monday.js"
}
const current = new Date()
let month = current.getMonth() + 1
if (month < 10) {
    month = `0${current.getMonth() + 1}`
}

const axiosBody = {
    query: `
                    mutation ($boardId: Int!, $groupId: String!, $itemName: String!, $columnValues: JSON) {
                    create_item (
                        board_id: $boardId,
                        group_id: $groupId,
                        item_name: $itemName,
                        column_values: $columnValues
                    ) {
                        id
                    }
                    }
                `,
    variables: {
        boardId: BOARDID,
        groupId: "topics",
        itemName: `${body.title} from ${body.culprit}`,
        columnsValues: JSON.stringify({ status9: { index: 6 }, status: { index: 6 }, due_date: { date: `${current.getFullYear()}-${month}-${current.getDate()}` } })
    }
}

axios.post(`https://api.monday.com/v2`, axiosBody, {
    headers: {
        Authorization: config.prod.monday.apitoken
    }
})
    .catch(err => {
        console.error(err.data)
        //fs.writeFileSync("./mondayerror.txt", JSON.stringify(err.data))
    })
    .then(res => {
        console.log(res.data)
        fs.writeFileSync("./mondayerror.txt", JSON.stringify(res.data, null, 4))
    })

Bump. Could anyone help?

Hey @GameMaster2030 – what’s going wrong? Are you getting an error code, or is the item being created with no column values?

Hi,
It’s being created with no column values.

Can you print the body of your request so we can dig into exactly what’s being passed?

The programming pattern looks right, but I’m sure there’s something subtle that we’re missing :slight_smile:
