API Changes

This page contains a list of past and upcoming changes of our API. We try our best to prevent breaking changes, but sometimes we need them in order to release a new awesome feature 🚀
Upcoming changes
In this section you find upcoming changes. Breaking changes are marked additionally 🚨
Project Templates - Auto Billability 🚨
Currently projects have one property called IsBillableByDefault which decides whether time entries created on that project are marked as billable or not. This is either set by the project template or if no project template was used for creation, by whether the project has a company or not. In the case of a company, the times are marked as billed, else the times are marked as not billable.
The problem is, that the project template always overrules this company rule. We need to have more flexibility here, so we change the IsBillableByDefault property on the project template from a boolean to a string field with the possible values: on, off, auto.
When the auto option is set, the IsBillableByDefault of the project on project creation will be set according to the company rule, so true if a company is set and false if no company is set.
Multi User Assignment - 18.09.21 🚨
This release adds the highly requested feature to assign multiple users to the same task. As a result, we reworked the endpoints that allow assigning multiple users to tasks and task templates as well as automations.
If you want to use this feature, please enable the task setting "Allow multi user assignment" in awork in the workspace settings page. Alternatively you can activate the setting by calling the tasks/settings endpoint from below with the setting name allow-multi-user-assignment.
Removed endpoints
POST /tasks/assignUsers
POST /tasks/unassignUsers
Added endpoints
post
tasks/{taskId}/setAssignees
https://api.awork.io/v1/tasks/{taskId}/setAssignees
This method is used to assign users to a task. You always need to pass all users you want to assign. If an already assigned user is not in the passed user id list, he/she gets unassigned.

The user ids are passed in the body as an array of strings.

Users need write permissions for the feature task-manage-config.

}
Changed endpoints
post
tasks/batch/assignusers 🚨
https://api.awork.io/v1/tasks/batch/{operation}
Batch endpoint to assign users to multiple tasks. Used to be assignuser.  Set removeOldAssignments to false if you want to keep existing task assignments.
Request

​
Additionally these automation models were changed 🚨
For the action assign-user-to-task there is now an additional ActionValue removeOldAssignments. In order to assign multiple users to a task, you need the set this value to false. You can also add multiple assign-user-to-task actions to an automation, in order to assign multiple users for a single trigger.
For the actions task-create-project and task-create-private the task ActionValue now has an array assigneeIds instead of a single assigneeId. However, you cannot assign multiple users to private tasks.

Project Templates - 18.07.21 🚨
This feature is part of our big Einhorn release which brought a bunch of awesome features and an updated UI framework 🦄
Project Templates used to be the Project Types, which now have a secondary role, similar to the Type of Work found on Tasks, to make it easier to understand for our users and remove some restrictions like creating a project without a Project Template.
Due to these complex changes, we reworked the existing Project Type endpoints completely and added new endpoints for Project Templates.
Added endpoints
CRUD endpoints for project templates
