# Tasks

The Tasks endpoints allow you to interact with actionable items within Cakewalk—typically approval or decision steps triggered by workflows like access requests, offboarding, or reviews. These endpoints enable programmatic management of workflow tasks assigned to users or approvers.

These endpoints are useful for:

* Retrieving task details for UI or system integration
* Approving or declining access requests via automation
* Embedding Cakewalk task handling into external tools or workflows
