Metatask
The Metatask modules allow you to retrieve and list the templates and processes in your Metatask account.
Getting Started with Metatask
Prerequisites
A Metatask account
In order to use Metatask with Make, it is necessary to have a Metatask account. If you do not have one, you can create a Metatask account at metatask.io/team-creation/step1.
Note
The module dialog fields that are displayed in bold (in the Make scenario, not in this documentation article) are mandatory!
Connect Metatask to Make
To connect your Metatask account to Make you need to obtain the API Key from your Metatask account and insert it in the Create a connection dialog in the Make module.
Login to your Metatask account.
Note
By default the API key is not enabled in your account, you need to write to the Metatask's support team in their chat for enabling the API key in your account.
Click Your Profile Icon > Make Settings > Integrations > Generate API Key. Copy the API key to your clipboard.
Go to Make and open the Metatask module's Create a connection dialog.
In the Connection name field, enter a name for the connection.
In the API Key field, enter the API key copied in step 2 and click Continue.
The connection has been established.
