Overview
This node integrates with the Dooray API to update an existing task within a specified project. It allows users to modify key attributes of a task such as its title, description, priority, and due date. This is useful in project management workflows where tasks need to be dynamically updated based on progress, changes in requirements, or scheduling adjustments.
Practical examples include:
- Updating the title and description of a task after receiving new information.
- Changing the priority level of a task to reflect its urgency.
- Setting or modifying the due date to reschedule deadlines.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Project ID | The unique identifier of the project that contains the task to update. |
| Task ID | The unique identifier of the task to update. |
| Title | The new title for the task. |
| Description | The new detailed description of the task (plain text). |
| Additional Fields | Optional extra fields to update: - Priority: one of High, Highest, Low, Lowest, Normal - Due Date: the new due date/time for the task |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the updated task object returned by the Dooray API. This typically includes all current properties of the task after the update, such as its ID, title, description, priority, due date, status, and other metadata.
If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent any file attachments or related binary content associated with the task.
Dependencies
- Requires an active Dooray API authentication token configured in n8n credentials.
- Network access to
https://api.dooray.com. - Proper permissions on the Dooray account to update tasks within the specified project.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Project ID or Task ID: Ensure the provided IDs exist and are correct; otherwise, the API will return errors indicating resource not found.
- Authentication Errors: Verify that the API key or token credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
- Validation Errors: If required fields like Title are missing or invalid, the API may reject the request.
- Date Format Issues: The due date must be in a valid ISO 8601 format; incorrect formatting can cause errors.
- API Rate Limits: Frequent updates might hit rate limits imposed by Dooray; handle such errors by retrying after some delay.
