Overview
This node integrates with the Kaizen app to manage tasks, folders, and events programmatically. Specifically for the Task - Delete operation, it allows users to delete one or multiple tasks by specifying their IDs. This is useful in automation workflows where tasks need to be cleaned up or removed based on certain triggers or conditions.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically deleting completed or obsolete tasks after a project phase ends.
- Removing tasks that were created erroneously or duplicated.
- Bulk deleting tasks by providing comma-separated task IDs.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Task ID(s) | The ID(s) of the task(s) to delete. For deletion, you can provide multiple IDs separated by commas. |
Output
The output JSON contains an array with a single object indicating the success of the deletion operation and echoing back the provided task ID(s). Example:
[
{
"success": true,
"taskId": "123,456"
}
]
This confirms that the specified task(s) were successfully deleted.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the Kaizen API.
- The node communicates with the Kaizen cloud functions endpoint at
https://us-central1-kaizen-a1281.cloudfunctions.net/api. - Proper timezone configuration is used internally for date/time handling but does not affect deletion directly.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Task ID(s): If the provided task ID(s) do not exist or are malformed, the API may return an error. Ensure IDs are correct and comma-separated without extra spaces.
- Authentication Errors: Failure to authenticate with the Kaizen API will prevent deletion. Verify that the API key credential is valid and has necessary permissions.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the Kaizen API endpoint will cause request failures. Check network access and proxy settings if applicable.
- Partial Deletion: If multiple IDs are provided and some do not exist, the API behavior depends on its implementation; the node returns success only if the request completes without error. Consider deleting tasks individually if partial failure handling is needed.
