Overview
This node integrates with the Kaizen app to manage tasks. Specifically, the Get Task operation retrieves detailed information about a single task by its ID. This is useful when you want to fetch the current state or details of a specific task within your Kaizen workspace.
Common scenarios include:
- Fetching task details to display or process in subsequent workflow steps.
- Verifying task status or attributes before performing updates or other actions.
- Integrating Kaizen task data into reports or dashboards.
Example: You have a workflow that triggers when a new email arrives and you want to check the details of a related task in Kaizen by its ID to decide further processing.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Task ID(s) | The unique identifier of the task to retrieve. For this "Get" operation, provide a single task ID. |
Output
The output is a JSON object representing the retrieved task's details as returned by the Kaizen API. It typically includes fields such as task title, folder ID, due date, priority, tags, reminder, location, notes, color tag, and other metadata associated with the task.
No binary data is output by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an authenticated connection to the Kaizen API via an OAuth2 API credential.
- The node uses the Kaizen cloud API endpoint at
https://us-central1-kaizen-a1281.cloudfunctions.net/api. - Proper timezone configuration is used for date/time fields.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Task ID: If the provided Task ID does not exist or is malformed, the API will likely return an error. Verify the Task ID is correct.
- Authentication Errors: Ensure the OAuth2 credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions to access the task.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the Kaizen API endpoint can cause failures; check network and firewall settings.
- Date/Time Parsing: The node converts ISO date strings using the configured timezone. Incorrect timezone settings may lead to unexpected date/time values.
