Overview

This node operation creates a new item within a specified folder on a board in a workspace using the Infinity API. It is useful for automating the addition of items to project management boards or task lists, allowing users to programmatically add entries with custom field values. For example, it can be used to add a new task to a project board with specific attributes like labels, members, or due dates.

Use Case Examples

  1. Creating a new task item in a project management board folder with predefined field values such as status, priority, and assigned members.
  2. Adding a new subitem under a parent item in a board folder to track detailed subtasks or components.

Properties

Name Meaning
Workspace ID The ID of the workspace where the board and folder reside. Required to specify the workspace context.
Board ID The ID of the board within the workspace where the item will be created. Required to specify the board context.
Folder The folder within the board where the new item should be created. Required to specify the folder context.
Additional Fields Optional collection of additional field values to set on the item. Supports multiple fields with automatic formatting based on field type, including structured JSON for complex fields like labels, members, links, checklists, attachments, and references.

Output

JSON

  • json - The created item object returned from the Infinity API, including its properties and field values.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the Infinity API.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure that the Workspace ID, Board ID, and Folder ID are correctly specified and exist in the Infinity workspace to avoid errors.
  • Field values must be valid JSON strings for structured fields; invalid JSON will cause errors during parsing.
  • If no folder or field values are provided during update operations, the node throws an error indicating that at least one must be set.
