Task custom traits

In Vitally, if you are an admin, you can add additional fields to your tasks via the Traits management section. When you create a trait, we will provide you with a key for that trait:

Using this key, you can set values for this trait when POSTing or PUTing to the API:

Example Request

POST https://{subdomain}.rest.vitally.io/resources/tasks
{
  "name": "Check in on the Account",
  "accountId": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "externalId": "task-1",
  "description": "<p>Be sure to ask how onboarding is going.</p>",
  "assignedToId": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "completedById": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "dueDate": "2021-01-01",
  "completedAt": "2020-12-29T20:16:27.370Z"
  "traits": {
    "vitally.custom.nextStep": "Give em a call!"
  }
}

Example Response

{  
  "id": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "externalId": "task-1",
  "accountId": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "categoryId": null,
  "assignedToId": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "completedById": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "name": "Check in on the Account",
  "description": "<p>Be sure to ask how onboarding is going.</p>",
  "dueDate": "2021-01-01",
  "completedAt": "2020-12-29T20:16:27.370Z"
  "traits": {
    "vitally.custom.nextStep": "Give em a call!"
  }
}

Note that when updating traits, if a trait is not specified, it will not be deleted from the task (i.e. the value for the trait will remain unchanged). To actually delete a trait from a task, simply specify the trait with a null value.

Replace {subdomain} in the endpoints below with your Vitally subdomain.

You can find your subdomain in the URL used to log into Vitally (i.e., https://yoursubdomain.vitally.io
