Overview
The node integrates with the MeisterTask API to create comments on tasks. It allows users to add textual remarks, supporting Markdown formatting, directly linked to a specific task by its ID. This is useful for automating task updates, adding notes, or collaborating within workflows that involve task management.
Practical examples:
- Automatically posting status updates or progress notes to a task when triggered by an event.
- Adding review comments or feedback to tasks as part of a quality control workflow.
- Logging automated messages or reminders on tasks based on external system inputs.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Task ID | The numeric identifier of the task to which the comment will be added. Must be provided. |
| Comment | The text content of the comment. Supports Markdown formatting for rich text. Required input. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the created comment object returned from the MeisterTask API. This typically includes details such as the comment's unique ID, associated task ID, author information, creation timestamp, and the comment text itself.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the MeisterTask API.
- The node uses the base URL
https://www.meistertask.com/apifor all requests. - Proper permissions on the MeisterTask account are necessary to create comments on tasks.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Task ID: If the specified task ID does not exist or is inaccessible, the API will return an error. Verify the task ID is correct and accessible with the provided credentials.
- Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the API key is correctly configured in n8n.
- Empty Comment Text: Since the comment text is required, submitting an empty string may result in validation errors. Provide meaningful comment content.
- API Rate Limits: Frequent comment creation might hit API rate limits; handle such errors by implementing retries or delays.
