Add Task tasks.task.add

If you are developing integrations for Bitrix24 using AI tools (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor), connect to the MCP server so that the assistant can utilize the official REST documentation.

Scope: task

Who can execute the method: any user

The method tasks.task.add adds a new task.

Method Parameters

object

Values of task fields. Required fields for creating a task:

Check which required custom fields are set for tasks in your Bitrix24. All required fields must be passed to the method.

You can pass the parameter SE_PARAMETER to the method — a list of objects with additional task parameters. Possible values for CODE:

1 — deadlines are determined by the deadlines of subtasks
2 — automatically complete the task when subtasks are completed (and vice versa)
3 — do not complete the task without a result

SE_PARAMETER: [
            {
                VALUE: 'Y',
                CODE: 3
            },
            {
                VALUE: 'Y',
                CODE: 2
            }
        ]
