Tasks and Task Record Logs

Tracking Scheduled and On-Demand Tasks in Tadabase

Tadabase logs both scheduled and on-demand tasks, providing detailed insights into when tasks were executed and what records were processed. This guide explains how to access and interpret task logs, along with the ability to view these logs within your app.

Accessing Task Logs

To view logs for scheduled and on-demand tasks, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Settings.
2. Select Logs.
3. Click on Tasks.

The task logs will display details about every task run in your app, offering an overview of the tasks executed and their outcomes.

Task Log Information

Each task log entry includes the following details:

Basic Information:

• Task: The name or identifier of the task that was executed.
• Run Type: Whether the task was scheduled or run on demand.
• Start At: The date and time the task started.
• End At: The date and time the task completed.
• Total Records Processed: The number of records that were processed by the task.
• Status: The completion status of the task (e.g., success, failed).

Task Record Log Information

You can also access a Task Record Log, which provides detailed information about the records processed by each task. The following details are logged for each record:

• Task: The name of the task.
• Table: The table associated with the task.
• Record ID: The unique ID of the record processed.
• Start At: The time processing of the record began.
• End At: The time processing of the record ended.

Viewing Task History

You can also view detailed history for specific tasks by visiting Automation > Scheduled Tasks and selecting the task you want to review. By clicking on History, you can access and export a list of records processed by that task. This feature is particularly useful for reviewing the performance and outcome of individual tasks.

Managing Multiple Tasks Across Apps

If you are running many tasks across multiple apps, you can get a global view of all tasks from the App List page. This can help you quickly locate and manage tasks, especially when trying to troubleshoot or identify tasks that have recently run.

Tracking Emails Triggered by Tasks

For tasks that send out emails, additional headers are included in the email to help you track the source of the email. In Gmail, you can view these headers by opening the email, clicking the dropdown, and selecting Show Original. Look for the header labeled x-tb-task, which will indicate which task sent the email. The email itself is also logged in the email logs.

Displaying Logs on the App Side

As with other logs, you can display task logs directly within your app. This allows you to filter and view task activity based on specific criteria such as the task name or record ID. For more details, refer to the "Add Logs to App" article.
