Example

monday.com exposes a GraphQL API (monday API v2). This mutation creates a new item on a board and sets a status column value — the same call powering most third-party monday integrations.

# POST https://api.monday.com/v2
# Header: Authorization: <your monday API token>

mutation {
  create_item (
    board_id: 1234567890,
    item_name: "Launch email campaign",
    column_values: "{\"status\": {\"label\": \"Working on it\"}, \"date4\": {\"date\": \"2026-08-01\"}}"
  ) {
    id
    name
  }
}

Sign up free at monday.com, pick a template board (marketing, CRM, dev sprints, etc.), and invite your team. For automation or custom integrations, grab a personal API token from your Avatar → Admin → API and call the GraphQL endpoint.
