Output shape

a single JSON object representing the created task as returned by the Flex API

The response includes the task data returned from the Flex API upon a successful HTTP POST request to create the task. If the Task Partner is left empty, it is sent as null to the API. DateTime inputs are converted to ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss) before submission. Task Performers with user and organization IDs are passed as a users array in the request body.

Examples

Example 1: Create a high-priority task with a title, description, scheduled start, deadline, executor type as 'Everyone', requiring approval, and assign it to a specific user and organization.

Set 'Task Title', optionally 'Task Description', 'Task Priority' (e.g., 1), 'Scheduled Start' and 'Deadline' date/time, choose 'Executor Type' as 'Everyone', enable 'Needs Approval From Creator', and provide user and organization IDs under 'Task Performers'.
