Tasks API feature requests

Post by studiofellow » Thu Oct 31, 2024 2:56 pm

Follow up on my previous thread about the Tasks API. Thanks again for adding PUT capability!

Use Case: my client's goal is to sync OpenDental Tasks & TaskNotes that clinical staff use with an external ticketing system for remote support staff.

We'd like to request some new features for the Tasks API:
  1. Tasks PUT: ability to add a new TaskNote when updating a Task
  2. Tasks GET: ability to get just 1 Task by specifying TaskNum, and include all its TaskNotes in the response
  3. Tasks GET: when getting a list of Tasks, include their TaskNotes in the response
Is there any chance of getting these added? Thanks so much! :D

Hello studiofellow,
  1. This wouldn't be a Tasks PUT, this would be a TaskNotes POST.
  2. We can add the ability to GET a single Task by TaskNum. However, we will not include associated TaskNotes in the response.
  3. No. Tasks GET returns Tasks, not TaskNotes.

Added to the API development list:
  1. GET a single Task by PK.
  2. TaskNotes GET, optionally filtered by task.TaskNum.
  3. TaskNotes POST, task.TaskNum and userod.UserNum required.
  4. TaskNotes PUT.

Thanks!

Good morning, we have completed the TaskNotes feature requests.

Starting in version 24.4.22, a new TaskNotes resource is available for use. This includes a GET (single/multiple), a PUT, and a POST. For more information, please see https://www.opendental.com/site/apitasknotes.html
