How to Update Group Color on Monday.com with Make

Just starting out with Make to get Monday to do what I want it to do. I have created a successful scenario whereby the webhook pulls the proper data and the module “Create a group” takes the pulse ID and makes a group in another board with it. Yay. I am now trying to assign what color that group should be. The webhook shows the group color, however, the group isn't made that color. The color is being randomly assigned. When I go into the create board module, I see no way to assign the group color. I tried adding a tool in between the trigger and the module to assign the color, but that didn’t work either.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to update the group color via API thus it is not available in Make as well. You can check this Monday.com Community post for more information.

However, there is a workaround. You can update the color, but you need to do it using the graph query. Here is an example - this goes in the Monday Graph query:

mutation { update_group (board_id: 1234567890, group_id: “test group id”, group_attribute: color, new_value: “Black”) { id } }

In conclusion, while it's not directly possible to assign a group color through the API, you can use a graph query to achieve this. This workaround should help you customize your groups on Monday.com to your liking.
