API key usage

Hey, I just purchased the PRO plan to be able to use the API key for zapier.

If I want to use the API with other tools (like integromat.com or develop a custom one) how can I make use of that API key?


The api doc here https://api.weekplan.net/apidocs.htm shows a two step login which is more difficult to implement in other tools. Is there an updated api doc, that can show how can we use the api key?


The zapier weekplan zap is missing some things, that's why I'm asking ;)

Okay,


First off, the Zapier - Weekplan connection doesn't allow me to place tasks in other boards than the parking lot:



I would like to be able to place posts in other boards:



Or directly as high impact tasks for different roles.




Then, on the other side of the zap, the triggers aren't always polished for all the apps. For instance i'm using a checkvist zap, and it doesn't allow me to sync whenever I'm added as a member on a specifc task. Besides that, more advanced scenarios (like adding another step for filtering, requires me to buy a zapier license which can be quite expensive)


So if I could have access to weekplan's api, I could use a different tool like integromat, or maybe implement my own custom syncing stuff, like using https://flic.io/ to check things off in the planner.


Cheers!

Hi,


The docs are actually fairly up to date but I don't think they will help you in this case.


We can improve the Zapier integration for you if you want:


- Allow to set WeekDate field (which determines whether a task is a HIT)

- Allow to pick a list from any board.

- Add a new trigger for when a user is assigned to a task.

The zapier tool doesn't allow me to sync tasks to high impact tasks, or to other boards than parking lot.

It also doesn't support some features on the tool I'm trying to sync from (the other end of the zap)


So I would like to develop a link over your api. I just need the api documentation.

Something like this: https://api.weekplan.net/apidocs.htm but updated.


PS. the links you sent me only point me to zapier or some calendar integrations, but I want to build a new integration

Thanks
