Zapier for Tasks app

Connect Bitrix24 Tasks to thousands of other web services and apps supported by Zapier. Installation is as simple as only possible, just follow these steps to install the app from Bitrix24.Market. 

Zapier for Tasks app requires an additional setup procedure, though. We've summarized all you need to know about the configuration and initial tests in this article.

Setup

The app has the Private status in Zapier and can only be accessed via a personal invitation at the moment. Once more features are rolled out, you'll be able to access it as any other public connector.
Accept the invitation:

Triggers

Triggers allow Zapier to launch actions in third-party services if something changes regarding tasks in your Bitrix24 account (and vice versa).

There are three types of event types for a Bitrix24 task trigger to respond to:

The frequency of Zapier checks for changes (update time) depends on your Zapier plan. It can be anywhere from 15 and down to 1 minute.

Example: Creating a trigger

Select the latest available version of Bitrix24 Tasks app as your Zap's trigger:

Creating tasks

Allows you to create a new task in your Bitrix24 account.

You can set field values as you need to, but there are two required fields for a task to be created via Zapier:

  1. Task Title - a task cannot exist in Bitrix24 without this essential piece of information
  2. Responsible User ID - system ID of a responsible user for a new task
You can find the IDs of your Bitrix24 users in the Employees section:

Or quickly look it up in the URL of the user's profile page:
