Overview
This node integrates with the MeisterTask API to create attachments on tasks. It allows users to upload binary files as attachments linked to specific tasks within MeisterTask projects. This is useful for automating task documentation, adding relevant files such as screenshots, documents, or other media directly to tasks during workflow execution.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically attaching generated reports or logs to a task after a process completes.
- Uploading images or design files to a task when triggered by an external event.
- Adding supporting documents to tasks created from form submissions or issue trackers.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Task ID | The numeric identifier of the task to which the attachment will be added. |
| Attachment Data | The name of the incoming field containing the binary file data to be attached. |
| Name | The filename or display name of the attachment as it will appear in MeisterTask. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the created attachment resource returned by the MeisterTask API. This typically includes metadata about the attachment such as its ID, name, URL, and associated task information.
If binary data is involved, it is used only as input for the attachment creation and not outputted by the node.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the MeisterTask API using an API key or token configured in n8n credentials.
- Network access to
https://www.meistertask.com/apiis necessary. - Input binary data must be provided in a field specified by the "Attachment Data" property.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Task ID: If the task ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API will return an error. Verify the task ID before running the node.
- Missing Binary Data: Ensure that the binary data field specified actually contains valid file data; otherwise, the attachment creation will fail.
- Authentication Errors: Check that the API credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
- API Rate Limits: Frequent requests may hit rate limits imposed by MeisterTask; consider adding delays or retries.
- File Size Limits: Large files might be rejected by the API; verify size constraints in MeisterTask documentation.
