AvantGuard - HuduInstall

Overview

The "Update Procedure Task" operation for the "Procedure Tasks" resource allows you to update an existing procedure task in your system. This node is useful when you need to modify details of a specific task, such as its name, description, completion status, assigned users, due date, priority, or other attributes. Common scenarios include workflow automation where tasks are updated based on external triggers (e.g., marking a task as completed after a related process finishes, reassigning tasks, or updating deadlines).

Practical Example:

• Automatically mark a procedure task as completed when a related approval is received.
• Change the assigned user or due date of a task based on project changes.
• Update the priority of a task if certain conditions are met in your workflow.

Properties

Output

The node outputs a json object containing the updated procedure task's data as returned by the API. The structure typically includes all the fields of the task after the update, such as:

{
  "id": 123,
  "name": "Updated Task Name",
  "description": "Detailed description",
  "completed": true,
  "procedure_id": 456,
  "position": 2,
  "user_id": 789,
  "due_date": "2024-07-01",
  "priority": "high",
  "assigned_users": [101, 102]
  // ...other fields as provided by the API
}

Note: The exact output fields depend on the API response.

Dependencies

• External Service: Requires access to the AvantGuard Hudu API.
• API Key/Credentials: Needs valid credentials (avantguardHuduApi) with the correct base URL and permissions to update procedure tasks.
• n8n Configuration: Ensure the credential is set up in n8n under the name avantguardHuduApi.

Troubleshooting
