Overview
The Project Task: Change Status operation in this n8n node allows you to update the status of a specific task within a project using the awork API. This is useful for automating workflow transitions, such as moving tasks between different stages (e.g., "To Do", "In Progress", "Done") based on triggers or other automation logic.
Common scenarios include:
- Automatically updating a task's status when certain conditions are met.
- Integrating with other tools to reflect progress changes in awork.
- Streamlining project management by reducing manual updates.
Practical example:
When a related issue is closed in another system (like GitHub), you can use this node to automatically set the corresponding awork task's status to "Completed".
Properties
| Display Name | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Task ID | String | The unique identifier of the task whose status you want to change. |
| Status ID | String | The identifier of the new status to assign to the specified task. |
Output
The node outputs a json object containing the response from the awork API after changing the task's status. The structure typically includes details about the updated task, such as its ID, current status, and possibly other metadata returned by the API.
Note: The exact output fields depend on the awork API's response for the status change operation.
Dependencies
- External Service: Requires access to the awork API.
- API Key: You must configure valid awork API credentials in n8n under the name
aworkApi. - n8n Configuration: No additional environment variables are required beyond standard credential setup.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid Task ID: If the provided Task ID does not exist, the API will likely return an error indicating that the task was not found.
- Invalid Status ID: If the Status ID is incorrect or not applicable to the task, the API may reject the request.
- Missing Credentials: If the awork API credentials are not configured or are invalid, authentication errors will occur.
Error messages and resolutions:
"Task not found": Double-check the Task ID for typos or ensure the task exists in awork."Status not found"or"Invalid status": Verify the Status ID is correct and available for the given task."Authentication failed": Ensure your awork API credentials are correctly set up in n8n.
