Project info

The "Project info" robot returns to a business process the card of a Bitrix24 (Alaio) workgroup or project by its ID: name, description, owner, type (group, project, scrum, collab), the Is a project and Archived flags, project start and finish dates, creation date, member count, the project chat ID and a Found Y/N flag.

The standard Bitrix24 (Alaio) business process designer has no workgroup fields: a process knows a project ID from a task or a custom field but cannot get its name, owner or dates. The robot reads the group card by ID and returns: name, description, owner (employee), type as a string (group, project, scrum, collab), an Is a project Y/N flag, an Archived Y/N flag, project start and finish dates, creation date, member count and the project chat ID in the chatNNN form, ready for the standard send-message-to-chat action. Found = N means no group with this ID exists or it is not accessible to the process starter. Typical scenarios: insert the project name into a notification or task; check whether the project deadline has passed and remind the owner; post to the project chat when a deal changes stage; skip archived projects before creating tasks. Requires the "Workgroups" (sonet) permission.
