Creating new Item via API

monday Apps & Developers

Hi :_),

I have a working mutation (tested on playground, does the job) to insert a new item with populated columns:

mutation { create_item( board_id: ${MondayService.issuesBoardId}, group_id: ${MondayService.clientTicketGroupId}, item_name: "fromApp12", column_values: "{\"people2\":{\"personsAndTeams\":[{\"id\":\"36904156\",\"kind\":\"person\"}]}, \"dropdown\": {\"ids\":[3]}, \"status94\": {\"index\": 2, \"post_id\":null}, \"status3\": {\"index\": 2, \"post_id\":null}, \"dup__of_severity\": {\"index\": 2, \"post_id\":null} }") { id name } }

I am attempting to use it in the following way:


    console.log(resFromNewItem);
    if (resFromNewItem.status === 200) {
      console.log("New Item created Succesfully!");
    } else {
      console.log("Error creating item: ", resFromNewItem.data);
    }
  } catch (err) {
    console.log("error in monday fetchAllBoardIssues: ", err);
    res.status(400).json(err);
  }

where ‘query’ is the returned mutation given above.

I get the following response:

New Item created Succesfully!

And no item is being inserted.

Any ideas?

Edit: tried also in the following way:

 const resFromNewItem = await axios.post(
      mondayEndpoint,
      { query: query },
      { headers }
    );

then I get:

New Item created Succesfully!

edit#2: Tried also the following:

    'mutation {create_item(board_id: 3782143770, group_id: new_group70712, item_name: "fromApp", column_values: "{"people2":{"personsAndTeams":[{"id":"36904156","kind":"person"}]}, "dropdown": {"ids":[3]}, "status94": {"index": 2, "post_id":null}, "status3": {"index": 2, "post_id":null}, "dup__of_severity": {"index": 2, "post_id":null}  }") {idname}}';
  fetch("https://api.monday.com/v2", {
    method: "post",
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
      Authorization: MondayService.apiKey,
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      query: query,
    }),
  }).then((data) => {
    console.log("dataresp; ", data);
    return data;
  });

Regards :slight_smile:

I noticed you have an errors key in your response: this means something went wrong. if you try to print the response with console.log, this value is expressed as “[Object]” because the value is nested too deeply inside the response data structure. console.log only prints up to 3 layers deep, I think.

Instead, you need to explicitly access this value and print it – something like this:

let returnedData = await resFromNewItem.json() // creates an object from the response body
console.log(JSON.stringify(returnedData.data)) // prints the full response
