Update Tasks via API

update tasks api

You can now programmatically update existing tasks on any board using the new t0ggles Update API - completing the full CRUD experience and enabling powerful two-way integrations with external systems.

#What's new

Flexible Task Identification Update tasks by their unique id or by the familiar projectKey + key combination (e.g., MARKETING-45). Use whichever is more convenient for your workflow.
Update Any Task Field Modify title, status, priority, assigned user, tags, dates, description, and custom properties - all in a single request.
Subtask Management Convert any task into a subtask by setting its parent, or unlink it to make it a standalone task again. Identify parent tasks by ID or by projectKey + key.
Batch Updates Update multiple tasks in a single API call for efficient bulk operations.

#Why it matters

This is perfect if you're:

Building two-way sync between t0ggles and external project management tools
Automating task status updates from CI/CD pipelines or monitoring systems
Creating workflows that update task properties based on external events
Managing task hierarchies programmatically

#Example

const res = await fetch('https://t0ggles.com/api/v1/tasks', {
  method: 'PUT',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    Authorization: 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    tasks: [
      {
        // Identify by projectKey + key
        projectKey: 'MARKETING',
        key: 45,
        status: 'Done',
        priority: 'high',
      },
      {
        // Make task a subtask of MARKETING-45
        projectKey: 'MARKETING',
        key: 46,
        parentProjectKey: 'MARKETING',
        parentKey: 45,
      },
      {
        // Identify by ID and update multiple fields
        id: 'task789',
        title: 'Updated Campaign Title',
        assignedUserEmail: 'alex@company.com',
        tags: ['Urgent', 'Q1 Launch'],
        dueDate: '2025-12-31',
      },
    ],
  }),
});

const data = await res.json();
console.log(data);
/*
{
  success: true,
  tasks: [
    { id: "task123", projectKey: "MARKETING", key: 45, title: "...", url: "..." },
    { id: "task456", projectKey: "MARKETING", key: 46, title: "...", url: "..." },
