Overview

This node operation retrieves a specific project task by its ID from the awork API. It is useful for workflows that need to fetch detailed information about a particular task within a project, such as task status, assignees, or custom fields. For example, it can be used to automate task tracking, reporting, or integration with other project management tools.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve task details by providing the task ID to monitor progress or update other systems.
  2. Fetch a task's information to trigger notifications or conditional workflow steps based on task status.

Properties

Name Meaning
Task ID The ID of the task to retrieve, used to specify which project task to fetch.
Request Options Additional request settings such as batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy configuration, and timeout settings to control how the API request is made.

Output

JSON

  • id - The unique identifier of the retrieved task.
  • name - The name or title of the task.
  • status - The current status of the task.
  • assignees - List of users assigned to the task.
  • dueDate - The due date of the task, if set.
  • customFields - Custom fields associated with the task, if any.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the awork API.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the Task ID is correct and exists in the awork system to avoid 'task not found' errors.
  • Check network connectivity and proxy settings if requests time out or fail to connect.
  • If SSL certificate validation fails, enable the 'Ignore SSL Issues' option cautiously to bypass certificate errors.
  • Verify that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to access project tasks.
