Attio events: task.created
Inputs
No configuration.
Outputs
| Label | Key | Type | Always set | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Task | task | Task | Yes | |
| Task ID | task_id | Text | Yes | |
| Created at | created_at | Timestamp | No | |
| Created by | created_by | Actor | No | Present only when Attio sends an actor of a recognized type (workspace member, API token, system, app or workflow). |
| Content | content | Text | Yes | |
| Deadline | deadline_at | Date | No | Date only (YYYY-MM-DD). The time of day is dropped. |

| Linked records | linked_records | List of records | Yes | Iterable in a Loop block. Records whose object cannot be resolved to a slug are left out. |
How it behaves
- Reads the task from Attio, then saves its completion status, workspace-member assignees, deadline and plain-text content. The task change triggers compare later changes with these values, and Task deleted reports them.
- Starts at most one run per task each time the workflow is turned on.
Errors
Triggers have no error branch. When something goes wrong inside a trigger, no run starts. See Troubleshooting.
