n8n-nodes-easytask

An n8n community node for Easy Task — a ClickUp-style task manager. It lets you create and manage tasks, browse spaces and lists, read statuses, and list members from your n8n workflows against the Easy Task REST API (https://task.easyhive.pro/api/v1).

If you already use the ClickUp node in n8n, this node is a near drop-in replacement for the common task operations.

Installation

Community Nodes (recommended)

1. In n8n, go to Settings > Community Nodes.
2. Select Install.
3. Enter the package name n8n-nodes-easytask and confirm.

The package must be published to npm first (npm publish from this directory). Until then, install it manually.

Manual / self-hosted

# inside your n8n custom-nodes directory (e.g. ~/.n8n/custom)
npm install n8n-nodes-easytask

Then restart n8n.

Getting an API key

1. Open Easy Task and go to Settings > API.
2. Create a new API key. It looks like et_live_….
3. Copy it — you will paste it into the n8n credential.

Credential setup

Create an Easy Task API credential in n8n:

| Field | Value | | --- | --- | | API Key | your et_live_… key | | Base URL | https://task.easyhive.pro/api/v1 (default) |

The credential authenticates with Authorization: Bearer <apiKey> and its Test button calls GET /ping, so you get instant confirmation the key works.

Operations

Task

• Create — in a chosen list, with name plus optional description, status, priority (urgent/high/normal/low), start/due dates (YYYY-MM-DD), assignees (member IDs or emails), tags, and custom fields (JSON).
• Get — by task UUID or numeric task number.
• Get Many — from a list, with filters for include_closed, status, and assignee, plus Return All / Limit.
• Update — any of the create fields via PATCH.
• Delete — soft-deletes the task.
• Add Comment — posts a comment on a task.

List

• Get Many — all lists across every space, flattened and annotated with their parent space/folder.
• Get Statuses — the statuses available in a chosen list.

Space

• Get Many — all spaces with their folders and lists.

Member

• Get Many — all workspace members.

Pickers

Where useful, dropdowns are populated from the API: List (from /spaces), Status (from /statuses?list=), and members can be selected by name — so you pick by name in the UI instead of pasting IDs.

Replacing ClickUp nodes

Easy Task mirrors ClickUp's core model (Spaces > Folders > Lists > Tasks, with statuses, priorities, assignees, tags and comments). To migrate a workflow:

1. Swap each ClickUp node for an Easy Task node with the matching resource/operation (Task Create/Get/Get Many/Update/Delete, List, etc.).
2. Point it at the Easy Task API credential.
3. Re-select the list/status via the dropdowns (IDs differ between systems).

API reference (endpoints used)

• GET /ping — credential test
• GET /spaces — spaces tree (folders + lists)
• GET /members — members
• GET /statuses?list= — statuses for a list
• GET /lists/{listId}/tasks — tasks in a list (filters: include_closed, status, assignee)
• GET /tasks/{taskId} — task detail (UUID or task number)
• POST /lists/{listId}/tasks — create task
• PATCH /tasks/{taskId} — update task
• DELETE /tasks/{taskId} — delete task
• POST /tasks/{taskId}/comments — add comment

Compatibility

Requires Node.js 18.10+ and a recent n8n. The node is usableAsTool, so it can be attached to an AI Agent as a tool.
