record_tasks()
Get the open tasks linked to a record, as a list you can loop over. Backs the Get Record Tasks automation step.
Syntax
record_tasks(table, recordId)
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
table |
string | yes | Table name or id of the record the tasks are attached to. |
recordId |
int | yes | The record's primary key. |
Returns
A list (array) of the record's open tasks (completed tasks are excluded). Each item is a flat dictionary — not a table-record shape — with these keys:
id, title, details, status, due_date, due_time, created_at,
updated_at, completed_at, record_id, table_id, space_id,
assignee_id, assignee_email, assignee_name,
creator_id, creator_email, creator_name,
completed_by_id, completed_by_email, completed_by_name.
These are the same fields the On Task Completed trigger exposes as {{task.*}}.
Example
$tasks = record_tasks("leads", $record["_meta"]["id"]);
sys_log($record["name"] . " has " . count($tasks) . " open task(s)");
foreach ( $tasks as $task ) {
sys_log(" - " . $task["title"] . " (due " . $task["due_date"] . ") → " . $task["assignee_email"]);
}
Example output
[
["id" => 12, "title" => "Follow up", "status" => "open", "due_date" => "2026-08-01", "assignee_email" => "jane@example.com", ...],
["id" => 15, "title" => "Send quote", "status" => "open", "due_date" => "2026-08-03", "assignee_email" => "sam@example.com", ...]
]
Notes
- Only open tasks are returned. There is no option to include completed tasks.
- Items are plain dictionaries, so read fields by their flat key (
$task["title"], or{{task.title}}in a For Each loop) — not the{{record.<fieldId>}}syntax used for table records. - Returns
[]when the record has no open tasks.
