Overview
The "Reopen Task" operation in the Teamleader node allows users to change the status of a previously completed or closed task back to an open state. This is useful in scenarios where a task needs to be revisited, updated, or continued after being marked as done. For example, if a task was prematurely completed or new information requires further action, reopening the task ensures it re-enters the active workflow.
Practical examples:
- A project management workflow where tasks are reopened for additional work or corrections.
- Customer support tickets converted into tasks that need to be reopened when follow-up is required.
- Sales or deal-related tasks that require reopening due to changes in client requirements.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ID | The unique identifier of the task to reopen. This is a required string input specifying which task will be reopened. |
Output
The output of the "Reopen Task" operation is a JSON object representing the task after it has been reopened. The structure typically includes all task details returned by the Teamleader API, such as task ID, title, description, status, assigned user, and timestamps.
If multiple tasks were processed (in batch), the output is an array of such task objects.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an OAuth2 API credential configured for Teamleader with appropriate permissions to modify tasks.
- The node makes HTTP POST requests to the Teamleader API endpoint
https://api.focus.teamleader.euusing the path corresponding to the operation (tasks.reopen). - Proper API authentication token must be available in n8n credentials.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing task ID: The operation requires a valid task ID; providing an incorrect or empty ID will cause errors.
- Insufficient permissions: The OAuth2 credential used must have rights to update tasks.
- Network or API downtime: Connectivity issues or Teamleader API outages can cause request failures.
Error messages:
"No data got returned": Indicates the API call succeeded but no task data was returned. Verify the task ID exists and is accessible.- API error responses from Teamleader (e.g., 404 Not Found, 401 Unauthorized) should be checked for correct credentials and task existence.
To resolve errors, ensure the task ID is correct, the API credentials are valid and authorized, and the Teamleader service is operational.
