Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| card | Yes | Card ID, sequential ID (#123), or name | |
| lane | No | Lane (swimlane) ID or name to move the card into. Only applies to boards with lanes enabled; use list_lanes to see available lanes. | |
| name | No | New card name | |
| board | No | Board ID or name (needed for sequential ID or name lookup) | |
| tasks | No | List of task updates. Each dict should contain 'task_id' and optionally 'completed' (bool) or 'name' (str) to update | |
| add_task | No | Add a task (checkbox item) to an existing tasklist: {'tasklist_id': '...', 'name': '...'} | |
| archived | No | Archive or unarchive the card | |
| description | No | New detailed description. Favro supports a subset of Markdown: **bold**, *italic*, ~~strikethrough~~, `inline code`, ```code blocks```, [links](url), bullet lists, numbered lists, headings (# and ## only), and horizontal rules (---). Do not use tables, images, blockquotes, checkbox lists, or heading levels beyond ## — unsupported syntax causes the entire description to be stored as plain text. For checklists, use the add_tasklist and add_task parameters instead. | |
| add_tasklist | No | Create a new checklist on this card with this name. This is how checklists work in Favro — they are tasklists, not markdown checkboxes in the description. Returns the tasklist_id needed for add_task. | |
| custom_fields | No | List of custom field updates. Each dict should contain 'customFieldId' and the appropriate value field for the field type: - Text: {'customFieldId': '...', 'value': 'text'} - Number/Rating: {'customFieldId': '...', 'total': 5} - Link: {'customFieldId': '...', 'link': {'url': '...', 'text': '...'}} - Checkbox: {'customFieldId': '...', 'value': True} - Date: {'customFieldId': '...', 'value': '2024-01-15'} - Status: {'customFieldId': '...', 'value': ['itemId1', 'itemId2']} |
