# Monday board items

## Description

The **Monday Board Items** entity represents tasks or work units (items) in a Monday.com board. Each item can have multiple columns with values like status, priority, people, and dates.

The **Monday Board Items** activity enables workflows to **fetch, create, delete, or batch-create** items on Monday.com boards. It supports flexible mapping of column data, making it suitable for task automation and integration with external data sources.

> **Use case**: Tasks from an Excel sheet or a database can be created as board items using this activity. Columns like status, deadline, and owner can be mapped using `Column Values` or `Column Values Mapping`. The output items can then be synced into dashboards or tracked for project progress.
