Overview
This node interacts with the Attio API to retrieve detailed information about a specific task by its unique identifier. It is designed for workflows that need to fetch and process data related to tasks managed within Attio, such as project management, CRM activities, or task tracking.
Common scenarios include:
- Fetching task details to update other systems or databases.
- Using task information to trigger conditional workflow branches.
- Integrating task data into reports or notifications.
For example, you might use this node to get the status and metadata of a task before sending a reminder email or updating a project dashboard.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Task Id | The unique identifier of the task to retrieve. This must be provided as a string representing the task's ID in Attio. |
Output
The node outputs a JSON object containing the full details of the requested task as returned by the Attio API. This includes all available fields and metadata associated with the task, such as its title, description, status, due dates, assigned users, and any custom attributes defined in Attio.
If the API supports binary data for tasks (e.g., attachments), the node would handle it accordingly, but based on the static code analysis, the output focuses on JSON data representing the task.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Attio API using an API key credential configured in n8n.
- The node sends authenticated HTTP requests to the Attio API endpoint
https://api.attio.com/v2/tasks/{task_id}. - Proper permissions on the API key are necessary to read task data.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Task Id: Ensure the Task Id property is correctly set and corresponds to an existing task.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
- Network or API downtime: Check connectivity and Attio service status.
Error messages:
"Operation Get Task not found for resource Tasks": Indicates a misconfiguration or unsupported operation; verify the selected resource and operation.- HTTP 404 Not Found: The specified Task Id does not exist.
- HTTP 401 Unauthorized: Authentication failed; check API credentials.
To resolve these, confirm input parameters, reauthenticate if needed, and ensure the task exists in Attio.
