Trigger a new run

POST

/api/tasks/{taskName}/run

curl --request POST \
  --url 'http://localhost:9477/api/tasks/example/run?waitTimeout=120&via=ui' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{ "params": { "additionalProperty": "example" } }'

Triggers the task and returns the pending run immediately. Pass wait=true to instead hold the request open until the run finishes and return it with its exit code and end reason — a one-call alternative to triggering then polling.

Task name

Query Parameters

wait

Hold the request until the action finishes. run, and start/restart on a task: until the run ends, then return it with exitCode and endReason. stop: until every run or instance has ended. Not supported for start/restart on a service. Best for short tasks; long waits may exceed reverse-proxy timeouts.

boolean

Hold the request until the action finishes. run, and start/restart on a task: until the run ends, then return it with exitCode and endReason. stop: until every run or instance has ended. Not supported for start/restart on a service. Best for short tasks; long waits may exceed reverse-proxy timeouts.

waitTimeout

With wait=true, the maximum seconds to hold the request open. Capped below the server’s 5-minute write timeout. On timeout, run/start/restart return the run in its current (non-terminal) state and stop returns 409; the action itself keeps going.

integer format: int64

default: 120 >= 1 <= 240
