Overview

Object types are the standardized categories that unify and relate objects from different products and domains consistently. For example, Jira, Asana, and GitHub all have different objects that represent work. Asana has Tasks, and GitHub has Issues. In Teamwork Graph, these are grouped under the object type Work item.

An instance of an object type is called an object. For example, an individual Asana work item is an object. Objects are the pieces of data that make up the Graph.

Teamwork Graph supports the following object types:
