Overview
The "Find Task" operation of the SEO Content Machine node allows users to search for tasks within the SEO Content Machine platform based on various criteria such as task type, group, name, and status. This is useful for retrieving existing tasks that match specific filters, enabling automation workflows to query and process tasks dynamically.
Common scenarios include:
- Retrieving all running or completed tasks of a certain type to monitor progress.
- Searching for tasks by name or group to fetch their details for further processing.
- Filtering tasks by status to handle only those that are waiting or failed.
For example, you could use this node to find all "AI Writer" tasks in a particular group that are currently "Running" and then trigger subsequent actions based on their results.
