Overview

The Task Board product integration shows the user their assigned tasks. The following vendors are currently supported: RESTful API and Configuration. Users can also create their own tasks, if user created tasks are enabled. Tasks from the Task Board that have a date and/or time are automatically synced to the campusM Calendar.

User Experience

The following section describes information relating to the user experience for the Task Board product integration.

User Activities

The user can view their assigned tasks, mark them as completed, create their own tasks (with reminders), mark tasks as favorite, and filter their task list.

Technical Overview

The following section describes technical information for the Task Board product integration.

Configuration Vendor

The Task Board may be configured directly on the configuration page (by selecting Configuration as the vendor). This vendor allows for tasks to be distributed by App Roles, and allows for full analytics collection on Task Board engagement.

RESTful API

RESTful APIs often have API authentication set. You can set this within the configuration page.

There are several options:

No Auth
Basic
Bearer Token
API Key
OAuth

You also need to configure the user identifier that is used in each of the RESTful API calls. The user identifier specifies which specific user the API call is being made for. This can be set as either a query parameter or a path parameter and pulls from our CMAuth token. For more information on our CMAuth tokens, see Managing Token Based Authentication.

RESTful API uses two requests:

This request gets a single user's tasks. All tasks must be returned with this endpoint.

GET https://{Base URL}/taskBoardGetTasks

Expected Response:

Note the breakdown of mandatory fields.

Mandatory
- taskId
- title
- isComplete
- isFavorite
Optional Basic Fields
- parentTaskId (Note: This is necessary if the task is a subtask of another task)
- courseName
- courseId
- startDate
- dueDate
Additional Optional Fields Examples (these can be whatever fields you want)
- description
- category

If an attribute has no value, don’t include it in the response.

Analytics

campusM will start collecting anonymized analytics data on Task Board usage in May 2026. The data will be displayed in the Analytics section of App Manager starting late summer 2026.

Engagement analytics are collected for each university-created task. However, engagement analytics for user-created tasks are entirely aggregated.
