Overview
The node integrates with the Steuerboard API to create a new Task resource. It allows users to specify details such as the client, workspace, title, text, and due date of the task. This node is useful in scenarios where automated task creation is needed within a project management or collaboration environment that uses Steuerboard. For example, it can be used to automatically generate follow-up tasks after a client meeting or to schedule reminders for team members based on workflow triggers.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Client ID | The ID of the client for whom the task is being created. |
| Title | The title or name of the task. |
| Workspace ID | The ID of the workspace where the task will be created. |
| Text | Optional detailed description or content of the task. |
| Due Date | Optional due date for the task, specified in ISO 8601 format (e.g., "2024-12-31T23:59Z"). |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the newly created task object as returned by the Steuerboard API. This typically includes all properties of the task such as its unique identifier, client association, workspace, title, text, due date, creation timestamps, and any other metadata provided by the API.
There is no indication that the node outputs binary data.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Steuerboard API.
- Needs an API authentication token or key configured in n8n credentials to authorize requests.
- The base URL for the API must be set in the credential configuration.
Troubleshooting
- Missing Required Fields: Errors may occur if required fields like Client ID, Workspace ID, or Title are not provided. Ensure these are filled before execution.
- Invalid Due Date Format: The due date must be in valid ISO 8601 format; otherwise, the API might reject the request.
- Authentication Failures: If the API key or token is invalid or missing, the node will fail to authenticate. Verify credential setup.
- API Connectivity Issues: Network problems or incorrect base URL settings can cause request failures. Confirm connectivity and correct endpoint configuration.
- Unexpected API Errors: Check the error message returned by the API for hints. Common issues include permission errors or rate limiting.
