Update a task

PUT/v2/api/store/{team_slug}/v2/work_pipeline/{hash_id}

v2Operation ID v2_public_job_work_pipeline_update

Changes a task's name, note, preset, status, position, dates or assignees, and returns it. Send only what you change.

Send start_date and due_date together (both may be null). A start after the due date is a 422 ("Invalid date range. Due Date should be greater than Start Date."). Changing a task's dates resets the job's dates to span its dated tasks: the earliest task start and the latest task due date (none when no task has dates).

Assignees: unassign_all runs first, then assigned_users are added, then unassigned_users are removed. To change only the status, Change a task's status does the same and also returns the previous status.

Permission

Any member of the team. No sales order permission is checked.

Business rules

  • A task's status must be a status of its task preset. An unknown preset is a 422 "Pipeline not found!"; a status from another preset a 422 "Pipeline Status not found!".
  • assigned_users must be members of your team (404 otherwise). unassigned_users isn't checked: ids that aren't assigned are ignored.

Side effects

  • Changing the dates may change the job's dates.
  • Changing status_id sends the work_pipeline.status_changed webhook and records the status history.
  • Open Admin Portal pages refresh.

Errors

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

    When
    The task or a user isn't your team's.
    Fix
    Check the ids.
  • 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
    Dates out of order or sent alone, an unknown preset, or a status from another preset.
    Fix
    Send both dates in order and a status of the task's preset.
