Overview
The Accelo Task Get operation node allows you to retrieve tasks from the Accelo platform based on various search criteria and filters. This node is useful for automating workflows that require fetching task details, searching for specific tasks by keywords, or filtering tasks by assignee, manager, status, or ID.
Common scenarios:
- Fetching all tasks assigned to a particular staff member.
- Searching for tasks containing specific keywords in their title or description.
- Filtering tasks by status (e.g., open, closed).
- Retrieving a specific task by its unique ID.
Practical examples:
- Automatically pulling new "In Progress" tasks into a project management dashboard.
- Sending notifications when tasks assigned to a certain user are updated.
- Generating reports of tasks managed by a specific manager.

Includes: - Task ID: Filter by the unique numeric ID of the task. - Assignee Name or ID: Filter by the person assigned to the task. - Manager Name or ID: Filter by the manager responsible for the task. - Task Status Name or ID: Filter by the current status of the task. |

acceloApicredential in n8n with appropriate permissions. - n8n Configuration: No special environment variables required beyond standard credential setup.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid credentials: If your API key or credentials are incorrect, the node will fail to connect to Accelo. Double-check your credential configuration.
- Missing required filters: If you attempt to filter by a field (e.g., Assignee or Manager) that does not exist or is misspelled, the API may return no results or an error.
- No matching tasks: If your search or filters are too restrictive, you may receive an empty result set.
Common error messages:
"401 Unauthorized": Check your API credentials."404 Not Found": The specified Task ID does not exist."400 Bad Request": One or more filter parameters are invalid; review your input values.
