# REST – Task Connector

REST Task connectors allow you to send data to third-party applications that support REST API on a Task’s event if the assigned user changes, the status updates, or the Task becomes overdue.

* * *

You define the REST connectors on [Task Templates](https://help.formsfly.com/en/article/task-templates).

## Adding REST Task Connectors

Go to the Tasks main menu item, then jump to the “templates” page via the navigation bar. You should see a list of your existing Task Templates displayed.

**Task Template Details page:**

If you don’t have any Templates, add a new template by clicking on the **ADD NEW** button. This starts the task template wizard. You can read more on the steps to create a Task Template [here](https://help.formsfly.com/en/article/task-templates).

When creating a new template, the wizard will include a Connectors step. If you edit an existing Template, you should see an additional navigation link named “connectors” on the Template details page.

Once on the Connectors page, click the **ADD CONNECTOR** button. Select REST connector options.

| **Using Connection** | This allows you to select a REST connection. If the third-party endpoints are using oAuth 2.0, this is required as the Authentication and Access Token are retrieved in the REST Connections. |
| --- | --- |
| **Run Connector on** | Set up the connector to run when a particular status has been changed, the owner has changed, or it is overdue. If the status has changed, it allows you to configure it at a specific status or all status. If Overdue was selected, you need to specify the number of days that connector will run after the overdue date. |
| **Destination  URL** | You need to specify the destination URL to which our platform will POST data.<br>You can enter an address directly into the given field or “Use Global Forms REST URL” if set up on your organization setup page. |
| **HTTP Action** | Select the request action (POST, PUT, GET) and Data As (JSON, URL Encoded, XML). |
| **Data As** | Specify the format of the Rest API.        <br>-   JSON – JavaScript Object Notation format<br>-   XML – eXtensible Markup Language format |
| **Use Global Task Rest URL** | Will direct all task connector requests to the REST endpoint defined in Organization Setup -> Global Task REST URL |
| **Disable default query string parameters (checkbox)** | By default, specific query string parameters are appended to the URL, which can be used to determine the context of the origin of a request. Un-tick this checkbox if you do not require this information to be sent.<br>Please note that if you are connecting with Platform Sync, this checkbox should remain un-ticked. |
| **Anonymize Personal Data** | When enabled, all fields marked as Personal Data will be converted into a nonhuman-readable format to aid with privacy. |

  
**You can add multiple(email, REST, BigQuery, SQL Server or Twillio) task connectors into your task.**
