Create one-off tasks in bulk
Creates one one-off task per contact, for up to 500 contacts, all with the same action, due date, priority, assignee, subject and note.
A contact that cannot be used does not fail the batch: it is returned in skipped with a reason (Not found on this team for an id outside the team) and the rest are created. A contact listed twice gets two tasks. Otherwise it behaves like POST /v2/sequencer/tasks: origin: one_off, call tasks are queued for the assignee’s dial list once for the whole batch, and assignee_id must be a member of the team.
Returns created, the created tasks with contact and sequence expanded, and skipped. Send an Idempotency-Key: a retry without one creates every task again. Counts against the Sequencer writes rate limit.
Handling the response
tasks holds the created tasks (left empty here for brevity). Check skipped on every call: a contact that cannot be used is reported there, and the rest are still created.
Good to know
- A contact listed twice gets two tasks. Remove duplicates from
contactsfirst. - Call tasks are queued for the assignee’s dial list once for the whole batch.
- Send an
Idempotency-Key. A retry without one creates every task again. - For more than 500 contacts, send batches of 500, each with its own key.
Authorizations
Team-scoped API key generated in the Salesfinity dashboard under Settings → Connections → API & Webhooks. A missing or invalid key returns HTTP 403.
Headers
Makes this write safe to retry. Send a unique value, such as a UUID, and send the same value again when you retry the same request. A retry with the same key and the same request (method, path including the query string, and JSON body) returns the original successful response without acting twice. The same key with a different body or path returns 409, and so does a retry while the first request is still running; that one is safe to repeat after a moment. A request that fails frees its key, so a retry runs the write again: after a 5xx on a create, confirm with a GET before retrying. Keys are kept for 24 hours and are scoped to your team.
Body
The team member this call acts as. Must be an active member of the team the API key belongs to. Recorded as the task's creator.
