Trigger
New Task Created
Trigger when a new task is added to Todoist.
Action
Create collaboration
Adds a collaboration for a single user or a single group to a file or folder. collaborations can be created using email address, user ids, or a group ids. if a collaboration is being created with a group, access to this endpoint is dependent on the group's ability to be invited. if collaboration is in `pending` status, the following fields are redacted: - `login` and `name` are hidden if a collaboration was created using `user id`, - `name` is hidden if a collaboration was created using `login`.
Why this helps
Inviting collaborators manually is slow and easy to overlook during busy launches.
- Speeds access provisioning
- Keeps requests auditable
- Reduces forgotten invitations
