Production note: Use the returned identifiers as the durable link between your system and TeamGrid. Avoid retrying POST requests blindly after a timeout unless your integration can detect duplicates.

Create the project

Send the project name and optional planning fields to POST /projects. TeamGrid assigns the team from the API token, so do not send teamId.

Store the project id

Persist the returned project _id in your own system. Use that id when creating tasks and when reconciling later updates.

Create tasks for the project

Create each task with the returned project id. Keep the returned task ids so future updates target the existing tasks instead of creating duplicates.
