You should call a POST instead of a PUT, as you're not updating the task but rather requesting an "action" to be executed. All actions in rest (eg. task complete, signal executions, ..) are done using a POST and an action-palyload in the body.

The docs are wrong, I've corrected them on master just now. Sorry for the confusion…

Interestingly, had tried POST but then got another error message:


{
     "errorMessage": "Unsupported Media Type",
     "status code" 415
}

But just found out that Chrome's Postman has a bug for POST where you have to manually set the content type in the header, even if you have correctly selected type raw and json.


Content-Type = application/json

Anyway thanks for the help, it worked now with POST 🙂
