Rough notes, but hopefully this should help:
The call to get the taskstatus looks like this:
<Global method="GetTaskStatus" key="%timelimitedkey% >
<TaskNameOrId>Notepad, EDX triggered</TaskNameOrId> </Global>
answer could look like this:

One important thing though:
If you only want to fire of EDX then membership in Qlikview EDX is enough but if you also want to get status of a task you need to be member of Qlikview Administrator.
