Delete Task API

API · Task management can also be automated—sometimes it is necessary to remove Tasks in an unattended manner. Automated Tasks can be removed using a simple command from the Automation Workshop API.

Features & highlights

• Remove one or multiple Tasks from Automation Workshop in automated scenarios.
• Delete an Automation Workshop Task from virtually any program, custom app, or script.
• Delete Tasks by calling the API from a batch file or custom database.
• Remove workflows that have been imported, run, and are no longer required using an automation API.

Examples…

To delete a Task using the API, use simple syntax:

• AutomationWorkshop.exe -delete "\Tasks\Dev\DB\prepare.task"
• AutomationWorkshop.exe -delete "\Tasks\Dev\DB\prepare"

Alternatively, use an absolute Task file path:

• AutomationWorkshop.exe -delete "C:\ProgramData\Febooti Software\Febooti Automation Workshop\Task Files\Dev\DB\prepare.task"

Notes

• The Task's path is shown in the Task Properties—General & Task tabs.
• To delete a Task via UI, use the Delete feature from the Edit menu.
• Instead of removing, you can simply disable the Task by using the Disable API feature · Task's state explained
• If an error occurs during the Task deletion process, the Event ID 2265 "Unable to process an external API request" will be shown.
