Developers can use our Task API to connect project and task management tools with Meisterplan and customize the synchronization according to their organization's needs. Effort and tasks from the connected tool can be displayed in different views in Meisterplan, such as the Task Insights in the Information Panel.

What’s Possible with Our Task API

Meisterplan’s Task API allows you to import projects, and their tasks and effort, from external tools. In views such as the Information Panel or the Task Timeline, the data will be displayed, allowing you to compare it with the data in Meisterplan and to keep track of your projects' progress. This supports your planning with additional information and enables you to make informed decisions.

Using our Task API does not overwrite any data in your Meisterplan system, nor in the connected tool. It only provides you with metrics for comparison.

For example, you can use the Task API to ensure that your teams have not estimated far more effort than they are allocated in Meisterplan, and have an easy way to address the mismatch. You can also see tasks’ statuses, for example, if they are in implementation.

The Task API will sync as often as you configure it to.

Under Integrations > Connected Tools > Project & Task Management Tools, you can see a list of all tools connected through the Task API or the Extended Integration Hub. You can also delete tool connections there.

Required User Rights

To connect, as well as to edit the configurations and delete the connections between external tools and the Task API, you need to have the Configure right under Manage > User Groups > Integrations > Connected Tools > Project & Task Management Tools.

To edit a team or role's velocity, you must have the Edit Resource Pool and Absences right under Manage > User Groups > Project & Resource Planning > Resource, Team, and Role Details.

Background: What Is the Task API?

The Task API is an endpoint of the REST API. This means that it conforms to the Representational State Transfer standard (REST), which offers you increased flexibility and security.
