Automate your workflows with the awork API

Overview

This node integrates with the awork API to automate workflows related to project management. Specifically, for the "Project Task" resource and the "Get Task by ID" operation, it retrieves detailed information about a specific task using its unique identifier. This is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch task details dynamically within an automation workflow, such as updating dashboards, triggering notifications based on task status, or integrating task data into other systems.

Example use cases:

  • Fetching a task's details to display in a custom report.
  • Retrieving task information before updating or commenting on it.
  • Using task data to trigger conditional logic in a workflow.

Properties

Name Meaning
Task ID The unique identifier of the task to retrieve. This is a required string input.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the full details of the requested task. This typically includes fields such as task name, description, status, assignee, due dates, tags, and any other metadata associated with the task in awork.

If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would be used for attachments or files related to the task, but this operation primarily returns structured JSON data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the awork API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
  • Network access to https://api.awork.com.
  • Proper permissions on the API key to read project task data.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid Task ID: Ensure the Task ID property is provided and correctly formatted. An empty or incorrect ID will cause the API call to fail.
  • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
  • Task not found: If the specified Task ID does not exist, the node will return an error indicating the task could not be found.
  • API rate limits: Excessive requests may lead to throttling; implement retries or delays if needed.
