Taskade Overview#

Taskade is a unified workspace app designed to help teams manage tasks, write notes, and video chat within the same platform. With the Taskade API on Pipedream, you can automate workflows, synchronize tasks across various platforms, and streamline communications. This API enables you to programmatically manage tasks, projects, and their associated details, which can be integrated with hundreds of other apps available on Pipedream to create dynamic, custom workflows tailored to your team's needs.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Taskade	`taskade`	`app`	This component uses the Taskade app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Project ID	`projectId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Taskade uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Taskade account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Taskade and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Taskade API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
