I have imported new items into the board. Through automation I could move it to the specific group. Now that newly created group on import is empty, I would like to delete the group through automation. Doing it manually does not seem optimized approach.
Please help! thank you !
Its a couple of clicks (so I don’t think they will prioritise this quality of life update), but I think the better option could be to choose a group for your data to go into during the import procedure steps, or create a new one.

Currently, monday.com doesn’t offer an automation to delete empty groups, but you can work around this by setting up an automation that triggers when an item count in a group reaches zero, sending an alert or triggering a webhook to handle it externally. Another option is to refine your import process so that new items always land in a predefined group, avoiding the need to delete empty ones afterward.
How do you import directly into a specific group?
Doesn’t look like its been added natively yet. The Data Importer app would be the way to go at the moment if you are open to using apps (starts free).
If you asked me to set this up for you, I would add a separate view, use the group-by feature to group based on a certain status column. Now if you uncheck the “show empty” it will automatically not show empty groups.
This will turn your groups into a status column which is easier to manage and automate.
