Create a new task - Welcome 👋

Overview

Create a new task and assign it to one or more team members. Tasks can be associated with contacts or customers, include due dates with timezone support, and have customizable priorities and statuses. Use this endpoint to programmatically create tasks from your application, integrate with external systems, or automate task creation based on specific triggers.

Use Cases

Automated Task Creation: Create tasks automatically when certain events occur (e.g., new lead, customer inquiry)
CRM Integration: Sync tasks from external CRM systems to Vambe
Follow-up Management: Automatically create follow-up tasks after customer interactions
Workflow Automation: Create tasks as part of automated workflows
API Integrations: Allow external applications to create tasks in Vambe
Mobile Apps: Enable task creation from mobile applications

Authentication

This endpoint requires authentication using an API key. Include your API key in the request header:

x-api-key: your_api_key_here

        dueDate: dueDate.toISOString(),
        dueTime: dueDate.toTimeString().slice(0, 5),
        timezone: 'America/Santiago',
        responsibleIds: [webhookData.lead.assignedAgent],
        aiContactId: webhookData.lead.contactId,
        aiCustomerId: null,
        priority: '2', // High priority
      }),
    });

    return await response.json();
  }
};

Error Responses

Status Code	Description
400	Bad Request - Invalid request body or validation failed
401	Unauthorized - Invalid or missing API key
404	Not Found - Invalid statusId or responsibleIds
500	Internal Server Error - Something went wrong

Common Validation Errors

{
  "statusCode": 400,
  "message": "Validation failed",
  "errors": [
    {
      "field": "title",
      "message": "Title must be at least 1 character"
    },
    {
      "field": "priority",
      "message": "Priority must be one of: low, medium, high"
    }
  ]
}

Best Practices

Status Configuration: Tasks are automatically assigned the initial status configuration - no need to specify it
Responsible Users: Validate that all responsibleIds are valid and active users
Timezone Handling: Always specify timezone when using due dates with specific times
Description Length: Keep descriptions concise but informative (500-1000 characters recommended)
Priority Assignment: Use priority strategically - “0” (low), “1” (medium), “2” (high)
All-Day Tasks: For all-day tasks, omit dueTime or set it to null
Contact Association: Link tasks to contacts when possible for better context and tracking

Performance Tips

Batch Creation: If creating multiple tasks, consider implementing retry logic
Validation: Validate data on the client side before making API calls
Error Handling: Implement proper error handling for failed task creation
Async Processing: For bulk task creation, consider queuing and processing asynchronously

GET /api/public/tasks - Get tasks by filters
PUT /api/public/tasks/ - Update a task
DELETE /api/public/tasks/ - Delete a task
