Creating a Board via API Without Default Items

Hello monday.com Community,

I’m currently working with the monday.com API to programmatically create new boards. However, I’ve noticed that each time I create a board, it comes pre-populated with default groups, columns, and items.

Is there a way to create a new board via the API without these default elements, so I can start with a completely blank board?

I am aware that I can retrieve the default IDs for item types and create a new mutation to delete them. However, I’m seeking a more streamlined approach, if available.

Thank you for your assistance.

hi @ParthAtRewind

What about creating an empty template and create your new board from the API specifying the templateId?

Thank you for replying.

I did come across this, but the automation we planning to have won’t allow for that.
