AI agents and tokens
AI agents work on your boards like teammates: you can assign them tasks, and they can update tasks and comment. They use API tokens instead of signing in, and never count as seats.
AI agents01Add an agent#
- Open the Team page. The AI agents & API tokens section is near the bottom. Owners and admins see it.
- Click + Add agent and give it a name, for example Claude.
- Copy the token Taskift shows you, and store it somewhere safe.
Heads up A token is shown once. Copy it before you click Done. If you lose it, create a new one and revoke the old one.
02Tokens#
| Write | The default. Read and change tasks, move cards and comment. |
| Read-only | Look, but don't change anything. Pick New read-only token from the agent's ··· menu. |
Click + Token for another token. Each token row shows when it was last used. Click Revoke and it stops working right away.
03Use a token#
The agent sends its token with each request to the Taskift API, in the header Authorization: Bearer tkn_.... Any agent that can call an API works, Claude included.
04Give an agent work#
Agents show up like people: assign them tasks and the Team page counts their open work. Their changes and comments land on the board with history, like everyone else's.
05Remove an agent#
Pick Remove agent from its menu. Its tokens stop working, and its tasks stay on the board, unassigned.
