Search Task
planned

I would like to search existing tasks with name and add if the task not found.
As of now there is no way to search existing tasks with name.

This is a very practical API need — being able to search for a task by name before creating it is fundamental for any "create if not exists" integration pattern. Without it, you end up with duplicates every time your automation runs.
Our Public API has been expanding. In v6.3 we added OpenAPI path parameter support for Search and Aggregate APIs, and we have been growing the overall API surface. We also added search support for task assignees in v4.65, which shows the direction we are heading. That said, a direct task search endpoint by name is not yet available in the API.
This is a gap we know matters for integration builders and automation workflows. If you are building with the Taskade API, you can explore current endpoints at https://developer.taskade.com — and Taskade Genesis at https://taskade.com/create lets you build no-code AI agents and workflows that can do conditional task creation without raw API calls. We will update this post when task search is available via API. Thanks for the specific use case!

Hey there! How do you see this working? What sort of endpoint would it be?
chrishk
Narek Zograbian My use case for this : user authentication with AI Agent. Let me explain : for authenticated dialog, AI Agent would require the user email. The user would provide his email, and the agent would add a task in a "users data" project if it does not already exist or it will create a new task for this user. The AI Agent would then store a authentication code (OTP code) in this task (custom field) and would send an email to the user with this OTP code. The user would then provide this code again to the AI Agent, the AI Agent would check if this code is linked to the user email in the "users data" project and if the otp code matchs the user, the AI Agent would be able to generate some content for this user (and could also store this content) in the "users data" project for this user (in a custom field of this user's task). That could be very powerful, kind of magic link to use AI Agent, but that requires that we can search for a task in a project (in my use case, the search would be against the email of the user)

chrishk This is interesting. It's almost like a source of truth for Taskade. How many rows of data would this encompass though?
chrishk
Narek Zograbian one row per user, number of users : unknown, let's say 100
chrishk
could be used only for otp code sending. so the number of rows could be very low in case a row is deleted once the user is "authenticated"

chrishk Thanks for clarifying!
