Create task conversations via the Core API

Task conversations are now fully supported in the Core API. You can create, read, and update them just like you can other conversation types, with a dedicated description field for capturing the context of the task. To learn more about how tasks work in Front, refer to our Help Center.

POST /conversations

• type now accepts 'task' in addition to 'discussion'
• The subject field provides the title of the task
• comment is optional for tasks and required for discussions
• New optional description field, valid only when type is 'task'

GET /conversations/:conversation_id

• Response now includes a type field returning 'conversation', 'discussion', or 'task'
• Response includes a nullable description field, present only on task conversations

PATCH /conversations/:conversation_id

• New description field to set or clear (null) the task description

Give it a spin and let us know what you build!

Happy coding!
