Authenticate the Tasks API in Zapier using OAuth 2.0 with the scope locations/tasks.readonly. This ensures Zapier can read tasks for a given location without modifying data.
In Zapier, connect your Zapier App Connector account to securely authorize requests to the Tasks API. Use OAuth 2.0 where supported, and keep credentials safe.
POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search — retrieve tasks for a location. This endpoint is the primary way to query HumbleFax tasks. Other endpoints in this template may be added later.
Trigger when a location’s tasks are found or updated via POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search, enabling automated workflows around new or changed tasks.
Actions: pull task lists, fetch specific task details, and filter by status or due date.
POST /locations/{locationId}/tasks/search
Key fields: locationId, query parameters (e.g., status, assignedTo, dueDate).
Trigger when tasks match specified attributes like status or priority.
Actions: search with filters, export results, or push summary to an app.
POST /locations/{locationId}/tasks/search with filter parameters
Key fields: locationId, filter parameters (status, priority, dueDate).
Trigger on scheduled summaries of tasks for a location.
Actions: generate reports, send to dashboards, or email summaries.
POST /locations/{locationId}/tasks/search with dateRange parameter
Key fields: locationId, dateRange, sort, and fields to include.
No-code automation that saves time by automating task retrieval and reporting.
Centralized access to task data from HumbleFax through Zapier.
Real-time insights and reliable task workflows with easy maintenance.
This section defines API endpoints, authentication flows, data fields, and how they fit into your automation projects with Zapier App Connector.
An API is a set of rules that lets apps communicate, enabling tasks data to be requested, retrieved, and updated programmatically.
An endpoint is a specific URL that performs an action or retrieves data when called.
OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework that lets apps access user data securely without sharing passwords.
Scope defines what parts of an API you are allowed to access, such as read-only permissions.
Set up a daily check that pulls task lists and notifies stakeholders when tasks change status.
Create a dashboard that aggregates tasks by location for quick operational review.
Automatically export task summaries to Google Sheets or a BI tool at scheduled intervals.
Authorize access to the HumbleFax Tasks API from Zapier App Connector by starting the OAuth flow and granting permissions.
Map locationId and relevant task fields in Zapier so data flows correctly between HumbleFax and your app.
Run a test to verify the connection, then enable automated tasks workflows.
The Tasks API connection with Zapier App Connector enables you to retrieve tasks from HumbleFax for a given location. It powers automations by returning task lists and details that you can use in your workflows. This setup favors read-only operations to protect data integrity, but you can expand permissions if needed.
The required scope is locations/tasks.readonly. This keeps your integrations safe while allowing you to pull task data. If you need write access, you may request broader scopes and update OAuth consent accordingly.
This integration is designed for read-only access by default. Updates or deletions should be performed through HumbleFax directly or via approved endpoints with proper permissions.
Use the test connection option in Zapier App Connector to run sample requests against POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search and inspect the response payload.
To find locationId, check HumbleFax settings or perform a quick API call to list locations. Your locationId is a numeric or string identifier returned by the API.
If the endpoint evolves, update your Zapier App Connector configuration and reauthorize the app to refresh credentials and endpoint paths.
Authentication failures can occur due to expired tokens, incorrect client credentials, or missing scopes. Re-authenticate, verify scopes, and consult server responses for specifics.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
