Create a task preset

Open .md

POST/v1/api/store/{team_slug}/setting/pipeline

v1Operation ID v1_public_pipeline_store

Creates a task preset with three statuses and returns it, statuses included: Pending (the start status), Started (in progress) and Completed (the end status). Change them with the status operations.

A new preset is off (enable: false) unless you send enable: true.

Task presets (called pipelines in the API) are named sets of statuses that a task moves through, for example Pending, Started, Completed. The tasks on a job each follow a preset, and services can be linked to presets. Every answer includes the preset's statuses. Change them with the status operations: add, rename, reorder or remove them with Save a set of status changes.

Errors

  • 401The API key is missing or wrong (unauthenticated).

    When
    The API key is missing or wrong.
    Fix
    Send your personal API key as Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY.
  • 403You are not allowed to do this. api_access_not_in_plan: your team's plan doesn't include API access (Pro and above, with an active subscription or trial), so every request answers this until the team upgrades. When your role lacks the permission the operation needs, the body is only {"message": "Insufficient Permission"}. Other refusals use the error envelope, with unauthorized or user_is_not_authorized.

    When
    Your permission group lacks Manage Settings. This 403 has a short body, {"message": "Insufficient Permission"}, without success or error.
    Fix
    Ask the team owner to give your permission group Manage Settings.
  • 404Not found. page_not_found: the team slug is unknown, you are not a member of the team, or an id in the path is not one of this team's. code: null, with a message that starts "No query results for": there is no record with that id.

  • 422The request was refused and changed nothing. validation_failed lists what to fix in error.fields; other codes name a business rule, explained in error.message. A few checks answer with only {"message": "..."}. An operation that calls another service (a payment provider, a carrier, an accounting app) can answer connect_timeout ("Please retry again") when that service does not answer in time: the change may or may not have happened there, so read the record back before you retry.

    When
    label is missing or already used, or color is not a hex color. error.code is validation_failed, and error.fields names each field with its messages.
    Fix
    Fix the fields listed in error.fields and send the request again.
