📋 Overview

This template demonstrates how to build an automation in monday.com, so when an item's status is updated, they will be moved to a group with the matching status name.

🖊️ Setup

• Configure the API Connection and Event Listener by creating a connector for monday.com, or use an existing one.

🚀 Usage

Update the status of an existing item or create an item with a status, The item should move to the group named with that status value if present.

import { UpdateStatusEvent } from '@sr-connect/monday/events';
import Monday from "./api/monday";

/**
 * Entry point to When a status changes event
 *
 * @param event Object that holds When a status changes event data
 * @param context Object that holds function invocation context data
 */
export default async function (event: UpdateStatusEvent, context: Context): Promise<void> {
    if (context.triggerType === 'MANUAL') {
        console.error('This script is designed to be triggered externally or manually from the Event Listener. Please consider using Event Listener Test Event Payload if you need to trigger this script manually.');
        return;
    }

    // Extract necessary parameters from the event
    const { boardId, pulseId, value } = event.event;

    // Check if the necessary parameters are present in the event
    if (!boardId) {
        throw Error("Board ID not present in the event");
    }
    if (!pulseId) {
        throw Error("Pulse ID not present in the event");
    }
    if (!value) {
        throw Error("Value not present in the event");
    }

    // Get all the groups from a board in monday.com
    const boards = await Monday.Board.getBoards({
        args: {
            ids: [boardId],
        },
        fields: {
            groups: {
                fields: {
                    id: true,
                    title: true,
                },
            },
        },
    });

    // Find the target group to move the item to which matches the name of the new status
    const groupId = boards.data.boards[0].groups.find(g => g.title == value.label.text)?.id;

    // If no matching group exists, end script
    if (!groupId) {
        return
    }

    // Move the item to the target group
    await Monday.Item.moveItemToGroup({
        args: {
            item_id: pulseId,
            group_id: groupId,
        },
        fields: {
            id: true,
        },
    });
