People Task

The People Task Appmixer module provides an API that lets you create tasks that can be approved or rejected by other people. This module is used by the appmixer.ui.PeopleTask UI SDK module in combination with the appmixer.utils.tasks.RequestApproval and appmixer.utils.tasks.RequestApprovalEmail components. Please see the People Tasks tutorial for more details.

Each task carries an email address of the requester and approver of the task together with title, description and due date. Tasks can have registered webhooks that the Appmixer engine calls when the status of the task changes (pending -> approved and pending -> rejected). Components can register these webhooks and trigger their outputs based on the result of the task resolution.
