How do I search Monday.com items?
Short answer: You can search monday.com items in Monday.com by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Monday.com Search Monday.com Items action to a workflow, map its 3 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

What happens if Monday.com returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Monday.com returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
