awork

Overview

The Project Task → Add Comment operation in this n8n node allows you to add a comment to a specific task within the Awork platform. This is useful for automating collaboration workflows, such as leaving automated status updates, feedback, or notifications on tasks as part of a larger project management process.

Practical examples:

• Automatically post a comment when a task reaches a certain stage.
• Add notes from another system (e.g., CRM or support ticket) directly to an Awork task.
• Notify team members by tagging them in comments via automation.

Properties

Output

The output will contain a json field with details about the newly created comment. While the exact structure depends on the Awork API response, it typically includes:

{
  "id": "string",                // Unique identifier of the comment
  "message": "string",           // The comment message/content
  "createdAt": "string",         // Timestamp when the comment was created
  "createdBy": {                 // Information about the user who created the comment
    "id": "string",
    "name": "string"
  },
  // ...other fields as provided by the Awork API
}

Dependencies

• External Service: Requires access to the Awork API.
• API Key: You must configure valid Awork API credentials (aworkApi) in your n8n instance.
• n8n Configuration: No additional configuration beyond standard credential setup is required.

Troubleshooting

Common issues:

• Invalid Task ID: If the provided Task ID does not exist or is incorrect, the node may return an error indicating that the task could not be found.
• Missing Permissions: If the API key used does not have permission to add comments to the specified task, you may receive a permissions error.
• Empty Comment Message: Submitting an empty comment message may result in a validation error from the API.

Error messages and resolutions:

• "Task not found": Check that the Task ID is correct and exists in your Awork workspace.
• "Unauthorized" or "Forbidden": Ensure your API credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions.
• "Comment message is required": Make sure the Comment Message property is filled in.
