Document (Monday doc)

To get the document ID, click on a document to bring up the document pop-up. On the top left of the screen, you can see the document ID:

Note: As indicated in the image, the URL does not have the document ID.

Document block

You can find a document block's ID by using the following GQL query:

query {
    docs(ids: 123-YOUR-DOCUMENT-ID-7938) { //change this with your document ID
        blocks {
            id
            content
        }
    }
}

Alternatively, you could run this script in ScriptRunner Connect and check the logs:

import Monday from "./api/monday";
 
export default async function(event: any, context: Context):
Promise<void> {
 
    const resp = await Monday.Doc.DocBlock.getDocBlocks({
        args: {
            ids: [23-YOUR-DOCUMENT-ID-7938]
        },
        fields: {
            blocks: {
                fields: {
                    id: true,
                    content: true
                }
            }
        }
    })
 
    resp.data.docs.forEach ( doc => {
        doc.blocks.forEach( block => {
            console.log(`Block with id : "${block.id}" and
content: ${block.content} `);
        })
    })
}

A third way to find the document block ID is as follows:

Right-click on the document block, then click Copy Link.
Paste the link into a text editor.
Find the value that follows the blockid.
The URL should look like https://youraccount.monday.com/boards/123456789/pulses/123456789?doc_id=123456789&blockId=fbe7c7eb-e575-48aa-a52d-132aec26fdf4. In this case, the document block ID is fbe7c7eb-e575-48aa-a52d-132aec26fdf4.

Folder

Click the ellipses next to the folder title to find the folder ID.

The ID will appear in the pop-up dialog box.

        groups {
            id
            title
        }
    }
}

Alternatively, you could run this script in ScriptRunner Connect and check the logs:

import Monday from "./api/monday";
 
export default async function(event: any, context: Context):
Promise<void> {
 
 const resp = await Monday.Board.Group.getGroups({
        args: {
            ids: [ 123-BOARD_ID-789 ]
        },
        fields: {
            groups: {
                fields: {
                    id: true,
                    title: true
                }
            }
        }
    })
    resp.data.boards.forEach ( board => {
        board.groups.forEach( group => {
            console.log(`Id for group ${group.title} is "$
{group.id}"`);
        })
    })
}

Item/subitem

To find an item or subitem ID, click on it and check the browser URL. The URL should look like: https://youraccount.monday.com/boards/123456789/pulses/987987987. The item ID is the last number sequence in the URL, which in this case is 987987987.

Alternatively, you can add the column type Item ID, which allows you to copy an item ID to your clipboard by clicking on a value in the column.

Here, you can see the ID on the board once you add the Item ID column type:

Item update

To find the ID of an item update, follow these steps:

Click on an item and open the Updates section.
Click the ellipses, then click Copy Link to Update.
Paste the link into a text editor.

Team

You can find the team ID by running a GQL like this:

query {
    teams {
        id
        name
    }
}

Alternatively, you could run this script in ScriptRunner Connect and check the logs:

import Monday from "./api/monday";
 
export default async function(event: any, context: Context):
Promise<void> {
 
 const resp = await Monday.Team.getTeams({
        fields: {
            id: true,
            name: true
        }
    })
 
    resp.data.teams.forEach ( team => {
        console.log(`Team with id : ${team.id} and name: "$
{team.name}" `);
    })
}
