This article provides a complete, practical walkthrough of the Mondaycom Splitout Automation Webhook n8n agent. It connects HTTP Request, Webhook across approximately 1 node(s). Expect a Intermediate setup in 15-45 minutes. One‑time purchase: €29.

What This Agent Does

This agent orchestrates a reliable automation between HTTP Request, Webhook, handling triggers, data enrichment, and delivery with guardrails for errors and rate limits.

It streamlines multi‑step processes that would otherwise require manual exports, spreadsheet cleanup, and repeated API requests. By centralizing logic in n8n, it reduces context switching, lowers error rates, and ensures consistent results across teams.

Typical outcomes include faster lead handoffs, automated notifications, accurate data synchronization, and better visibility via execution logs and optional Slack/Email alerts.

How It Works

The workflow uses standard n8n building blocks like Webhook or Schedule triggers, HTTP Request for API calls, and control nodes (IF, Merge, Set) to validate inputs, branch on conditions, and format outputs. Retries and timeouts improve resilience, while credentials keep secrets safe.

   # Automating Monday.com Subitem and Linked Pulse Management with n8n
   
   Monday.com is a powerful work operating system that continues to expand its utility—especially when paired with automation tools like n8n. In this article, we explore a comprehensive n8n workflow designed to automate the extraction and processing of subitems and linked pulses from a Monday.com board item. The workflow illustrates efficient data processing through API calls, JSON parsing, and even preparation for file uploads.
   
   Whether you're trying to cross-reference related tasks or just keep your boards organized effortlessly, this workflow offers a blueprint for combining Monday.com and n8n to supercharge your operations.

   ## Overview of the Workflow
   
   The `TEMPLATES` workflow begins with a manual trigger event—ideal for testing and debugging scenarios where you want to execute on command rather than on an automated schedule.
   
   From this starting point, the workflow performs the following key operations:
   
   ### 1. Fetching the Main Item
   
   After triggering, the workflow uses the “GET ITEM” node to retrieve a specific Monday.com board item using its Item ID (`5775061188`). This dataset becomes the source object from which related data—specifically subitems and linked pulses—will be extracted.
   
   ### 2. Extract Subitems
   
   The subitems are stored in a column named "Subitems." Using a custom JavaScript code node labeled “PULL SUBITEMS,” the workflow parses this column to pull and return the `linkedPulseIds`.
   
   It then:
   - Passes these IDs to the “SPLIT SUBITEMS” node to individually iterate over each subitem.
   - Retrieves detailed info for each subitem using the “GET EACH SUBITEM” Monday.com node.
   
   ### 3. Extract Linked Pulses via Board Relation
   
   In addition to subitems, the workflow also handles another layer of relational data in a column titled "Additional Contacts." Here's how it unpacks that:
   
   - The “GET BOARD RELATION” node finds the value of this column.
   - A custom code node (“GET LINKEDPULSES”) parses the JSON to identify linked pulse IDs.
   - Those IDs are split out using the “SPLIT LINKED PULSES” node and detailed information on each is fetched with “PULL LINKEDPULSE.”
   
   This dual pathway—handling both subitems and linked pulses—ensures comprehensive coverage of nested data relations within Monday.com.
   
   ### 4. Convert Data to File Format
   
   Once the required data is fetched, the workflow uses a node called “Convert to File” to transform the JSON into a downloadable file format. This is critical for archiving, backup, sharing, or later reference.
   
   ### 5. Upload File to Monday.com (Optional/Disabled)
   
   A node titled "MONDAY UPLOAD" is included but currently disabled. This node is configured to send a multipart/form-data HTTP POST request to Monday's API to upload the file back into a specific column ("file") in Monday.com.
   
   Parameters included in this node are:
   - A dynamic GraphQL mutation query
   - Map and file payload
   - OAuth2 authentication with Monday.com
   
   This option allows the workflow to close the loop by writing its output back to Monday.com, centralizing the data.

   ## Why This Is Powerful
   
   This workflow simplifies complex data extraction and mapping processes such as:
   
   - Traversing nested linked structures
   - Parsing embedded JSON fields
   - Merging subitem and linked pulse content
   - Preparing content for upload and/or external consumption
   
   Using n8n’s visual interface and code nodes, it’s both customizable and transparent. This makes it valuable for teams that need to orchestrate Monday.com data without manual parsing, while still retaining full control over data logic.
   
   Moreover, by separating visual operations (Split, Merge, Convert to File) and API interactions (Monday.com API, HTTP File Upload), this modular approach ensures maximum flexibility for future modifications.

   ## Third-party APIs Used
   
   This workflow integrates primarily with:
   
   1. **Monday.com API**  
      - Fetches board items
      - Retrieves subitems and linked pulse information
      - Supports file upload with GraphQL mutation  
   
   2. **n8n Native Nodes**  
      These aren't third-party APIs but are essential workflow components:
      - Code (JavaScript) node
      - Merge, Split, Convert nodes

   ## Conclusion
   
   This n8n workflow showcases what becomes possible when Monday.com’s robust platform is paired with automation. By automating both subitem retrieval and linked pulse processing, teams can eliminate repetitive tasks, gain insights quickly, and improve workflows across departments.
   
   While this setup is tailored for a specific board item and subitem structure, it can easily be adapted to suit different Monday.com workflows. With a few tweaks, your organization can harness the full power of both platforms for mission-critical operations.
   
   If you're already using Monday.com and looking for more dynamic ways to handle complex relationships between tasks and data, this n8n workflow is an excellent place to start.

   Let automation do the heavy lifting—so your team can focus on what matters most.

5. Set credentials for each API node (keys, OAuth) in Credentials.
6. Run a test via Execute Workflow. Inspect Run Data, then adjust parameters.
7. Enable the workflow to run on schedule, webhook, or triggers as configured.

Tips: keep secrets in credentials, add retries and timeouts on HTTP nodes, implement error notifications, and paginate large API fetches.

Validation: use IF/Code nodes to sanitize inputs and guard against empty payloads.

Why Automate This with AI Agents

AI‑assisted automations offload repetitive, error‑prone tasks to a predictable workflow. Instead of manual copy‑paste and ad‑hoc scripts, your team gets a governed pipeline with versioned state, auditability, and observable runs.

n8n’s node graph makes data flow transparent while AI‑powered enrichment (classification, extraction, summarization) boosts throughput and consistency. Teams reclaim time, reduce operational costs, and standardize best practices without sacrificing flexibility.

Compared to one‑off integrations, an AI agent is easier to extend: swap APIs, add filters, or bolt on notifications without rewriting everything. You get reliability, control, and a faster path from idea to production.

Best Practices

• Credentials: restrict scopes and rotate tokens regularly.
• Resilience: configure retries, timeouts, and backoff for API nodes.
• Data Quality: validate inputs; normalize fields early to reduce downstream branching.
• Performance: batch records and paginate for large datasets.
• Observability: add failure alerts (Email/Slack) and persistent logs for auditing.
• Security: avoid sensitive data in logs; use environment variables and n8n credentials.

FAQs

Can I swap integrations later? Yes. Replace or add nodes and re‑map fields without rebuilding the whole flow.

How do I monitor failures? Use Execution logs and add notifications on the Error Trigger path.

Does it scale? Use queues, batching, and sub‑workflows to split responsibilities and control load.

Is my data safe? Keep secrets in Credentials, restrict token scopes, and review access logs.
