Task Node

The Task Node is a basic task node, used to create a manual action within the flow.

Node Settings

  • Node Name Define an internal name to identify the node within the flow.
  • Task Name Title that will be displayed on the task card.
  • Completion Deadline (optional) Set a time limit for task completion (e.g.: 2 days).

How the task gets completed

The task created by this node has no "Complete task" button in the drawer. The drawer shows only the title, due date and description — there is no form to submit.

To complete it, use the three-dot menu on the card in the task queue → Send to → Completed. The flow continues from there.

If the person needs to record something when completing it (a reference number, a note, an attachment), prefer the CRUD Node with an update action and a form — even a single-field form. Besides storing the data, it gives you the Complete task button right in the drawer, which is where people look for it.

Unresolved assignee

If Assignee is filled with an expression that resolves to empty, the task is created with no assignee: it shows up in the queue without an avatar and nobody can complete it. The interface only answers "Could not update the task", without saying why.

Be careful with expressions that cross a relation. The event trigger delivers relation fields as a summary only (id, display, reference) — it does not carry the related item's data. An expression like {{ nodes.<trigger>.data.<relation>.data.email }} resolves to empty.
Read the related item first with a CRUD read node, and use that result as the assignee.

After configuring an assignee by expression, test it in the interface: open the task queue and confirm the card shows somebody's avatar. It's the fastest check that the expression resolved.

Form Node

Request form completion during flow execution.
