A Task represents a single item of work waiting to be processed. Tasks can represent whatever type of work is important for your team. Twilio applications can create tasks from phone calls or SMS messages. Your CRM or ticketing system can generate tasks from emails or chat messages sent in by your customers. Your own applications can create custom tasks representing whatever unique work your users handle.
Pagination is not supported under this resource. Please avoid usage of the page query parameter.
Every Task has attributes, allowing you to pass along whatever data is required for your application to route the task and take the appropriate action on assignment. Attributes are expressed in JSON data, for example:
1{2"type": "call",3"contact": "+15558675309",4"customer-value": "gold",5"task-reason": "support",6"callSid": "CA42ed11..."7}
Tasks have a version, represented in the ETag header when you POST or GET the Task Resource. ETags are a method of showing whether a resource has changed; if the ETag is the same, then the resource is the same.
Tasks can also use the If-Match header when updating or deleting a Task Resource. If the ETag does not match the provided version, the operation will fail with a 412 response. You can then GET the latest version of the Task and try updating it again. When the If-Match is not provided, the Task will update without a check.
You can read about Task Mutation and Conflict Resolution to learn about working with Task versions.
A Task does not have an explicit Lifecycle property, but it's an important concept for understanding how Tasks work. A Task's lifecycle is controlled by a Workflow, which will manage the Task's priority and find matching Workers to handle the Task. The Task State page and Workflows and Assignment page provide more detail on the Task lifecycle.
If you wish to update the assignment status of a task to wrapping or completed and also update its attributes, you will need to send two API requests: one for changing the assignment status, and one for updating the attributes.
The SID of the Account that created the Task resource.
^AC[0-9a-fA-F]{32}$Min length: 34Max length: 34The current status of the Task's assignment. Can be: pending, reserved, assigned, canceled, wrapping, or completed.
pendingreservedassignedcanceledcompletedwrappingThe JSON string with custom attributes of the work. Note If this property has been assigned a value, it will only be displayed in FETCH action that returns a single resource. Otherwise, it will be null.
The date and time in GMT when the resource was created specified in ISO 8601 format.
The date and time in GMT when the resource was last updated specified in ISO 8601 format.
The date and time in GMT when the Task entered the TaskQueue, specified in ISO 8601 format.
The current priority score of the Task as assigned to a Worker by the workflow. Tasks with higher priority values will be assigned before Tasks with lower values.
0The unique string that we created to identify the Task resource.
^WT[0-9a-fA-F]{32}$Min length: 34Max length: 34The SID of the TaskQueue.
^WQ[0-9a-fA-F]{32}$Min length: 34Max length: 34The SID of the TaskChannel.

The SID of the Workspace that contains the Task.
^WS[0-9a-fA-F]{32}$Min length: 34Max length: 34The date and time in GMT indicating the ordering for routing of the Task specified in ISO 8601 format.
A boolean that indicates if the Task should respect a Worker's capacity and availability during assignment. This field can only be used when the RoutingTarget field is set to a Worker SID. By setting IgnoreCapacity to a value of true, 1, or yes, the Task will be routed to the Worker without respecting their capacity and availability. Any other value will enforce the Worker's capacity and availability. The default value of IgnoreCapacity is true when the RoutingTarget is set to a Worker SID.
A SID of a Worker, Queue, or Workflow to route a Task to
POST https://taskrouter.twilio.com/v1/Workspaces/{WorkspaceSid}/TasksThe SID of the Workspace that the new Task belongs to.
^WS[0-9a-fA-F]{32}$Min length: 34Max length: 34application/x-www-form-urlencodedThe amount of time in seconds the new task can live before being assigned. Can be up to a maximum of 2 weeks (1,209,600 seconds). The default value is 24 hours (86,400 seconds). On timeout, the task.canceled event will fire with description Task TTL Exceeded.
The priority to assign the new task and override the default. When supplied, the new Task will have this priority unless it matches a Workflow Target with a Priority set. When not supplied, the new Task will have the priority of the matching Workflow Target. Value can be 0 to 2^31^ (2,147,483,647).
When MultiTasking is enabled, specify the TaskChannel by passing either its unique_name or sid. Default value is default.
The SID of the Workflow that you would like to handle routing for the new Task. If there is only one Workflow defined for the Workspace that you are posting the new task to, this parameter is optional.
^WW[0-9a-fA-F]{32}$Min length: 34Max length: 34A URL-encoded JSON string with the attributes of the new task. This value is passed to the Workflow's assignment_callback_url when the Task is assigned to a Worker. For example: { "task_type": "call", "twilio_call_sid": "CAxxx", "customer_ticket_number": "12345" }.
The virtual start time to assign the new task and override the default. When supplied, the new task will have this virtual start time. When not supplied, the new task will have the virtual start time equal to date_created. Value can't be in the future or before the year of 1900.
A boolean that indicates if the Task should respect a Worker's capacity and availability during assignment. This field can only be used when the RoutingTarget field is set to a Worker SID. By setting IgnoreCapacity to a value of true, 1, or yes, the Task will be routed to the Worker without respecting their capacity and availability. Any other value will enforce the Worker's capacity and availability. The default value of IgnoreCapacity is true when the RoutingTarget is set to a Worker SID.

Tasks are deleted 5 minutes after either they are canceled or completed. You can still query events that occurred for a Task via the Events API.
You may use the following operators in your EvaluateTaskAttributes:
==, =!=><>=<=( )[ ]HAS, >- for determining whether the value of the Task attribute on the left-hand side of the expression contains the string on the right side of the comparison.CONTAINS - for determining whether the value of the Task attribute on the left-hand side of the expression contains the value on the right side of the comparison.IN, <- for determining whether the value of the Task attribute on the left-hand side of the expression is * contained in the list on the right-hand side.NOT IN, <- for determining whether the value of the Task attribute on the left-hand side of the expression is * not contained in the list on the right-hand side.AND if both the left and right subexpressions are true, resolves to true, otherwise falseOR - if one or both of the left or right subexpressions are true, resolves to true, otherwise falseBy default, this will return the first 50 Tasks. Supply a PageSize parameter to fetch more than 50 Tasks. See paging for more information.

application/x-www-form-urlencodedThe JSON string that describes the custom attributes of the task.
The new status of the task. Can be: canceled, to cancel a Task that is currently pending or reserved; wrapping, to move the Task to wrapup state; or completed, to move a Task to the completed state.
pendingreservedassignedcanceledcompletedwrappingThe reason that the Task was canceled or completed. This parameter is required only if the Task is canceled or completed. Setting this value queues the task for deletion and logs the reason.
The Task's new priority value. When supplied, the Task takes on the specified priority unless it matches a Workflow Target with a Priority set. Value can be 0 to 2^31^ (2,147,483,647).
When MultiTasking is enabled, specify the TaskChannel with the task to update. Can be the TaskChannel's SID or its unique_name, such as voice, sms, or default.
The task's new virtual start time value. When supplied, the Task takes on the specified virtual start time. Value can't be in the future or before the year of 1900.

When a pending Task's attributes are updated, the Task will be re-driven through the Workflow identified by the WorkflowSid associated with the task. Depending on the Workflow's filters, TaskRouter may move the Task into a different TaskQueue. The age of the Task will remain the same. If the Task is moved to a new TaskQueue, its TaskQueue position relative to other tasks will be determined by its age and priority, as usual.
