CreateTask (V2)
|
Prerequisite: When this activity is used with Anthology Student 21.2.0 and later, the APIUser must have authorization to access to the entity requested in the OData query. For more information, see Security Enhancement for OData Queries. |
The CreateTask activity enables you to create an Anthology Student Contact Manager activity, a CampusNexus CRM Interaction, an appointment, or a notification.
The out argument 'Task' is a variable that calls the newTask() function. The newTask() function can be used in workflows for multiple applications, such as Anthology Student and Anthology CRM.
The CreateTask activity creates an instance of a Task; it does not save the Task to the database. The workflow can include other activities that manipulate the Task before it is saved. To persist the Task in the database, insert a SaveTask (V2) activity.
Notes:
-
In Workflow Composer 3.0 with Anthology Student 21.0 and later, the "Email Subject" property is added to the CreateTask activity.
-
Anthology Student 21.2 and later uses the Kendo library instead of Moment.js to format the
<DateTime>property. The differences between Kendo and Moment.js affect the code used to return current date and time values.-
DateTime.Now(Moment.js) returns the current date and time, e.g., 2011-07-01 10:09.45310. -
DateTime.Today(Kendo) returns the current date with the time components set to zero, e.g., 2011-07-01 00:00.00000.
If you receive validation errors related to date and time values in your workflows, replace
DateTime.NowwithDateTime.Today. -
