Creating Tasks
From the UI
Click New Task from the Tasks view. Fill in:- Title — what needs to happen
- Due date — when it’s due
- Assignee — who’s responsible (you, a team member, or your agent)
- Contact — the person this task relates to
- Deal — optionally link it to a deal
- Priority — high, medium, or low
- Description — additional context
From Chat
Ask your agent to create tasks naturally:“Remind me to follow up with the Acme Corp team on Thursday”
“Create a task to send a proposal to Jordan by end of day Friday — high priority”
“After we onboard the new client, schedule a 30-day check-in task”Your agent creates the task, sets the due date, links the contact, and confirms.
Automatically
Tasks can be created automatically by:- Your agent during lead processing (“New lead → create follow-up task for tomorrow”)
- Scheduled tasks that generate action items
- Automations triggered by events like new contacts or stage changes
Task States
Tasks have a simple lifecycle:
Mark a task complete by clicking the checkbox in the task list, or tell your agent:
“Mark the Acme follow-up task as done”
Task Views
Tasks appear in several places:- Tasks view — a dedicated list of all tasks, filterable by status, assignee, due date, and priority
- Contact profile — tasks associated with a specific contact
- Deal detail — tasks linked to a deal
- Dashboard — task list widget showing upcoming and overdue items
Working with Your Agent
Your agent is particularly useful for task management because it can think about what needs to happen next:- Smart Follow-ups
- Task Reviews
- Bulk Operations
When your agent processes a new lead or finishes a call, it can automatically decide what the next step should be and create a task:
“When you finish processing a new lead, always create a follow-up task for the next business day with a note about what to discuss.”Add this to your agent’s instructions, and it happens every time.
Scheduled Task Generation
One powerful pattern is using scheduled tasks to generate follow-up tasks:1
Create a Schedule
Set up a daily schedule: “Every morning at 8am, review all contacts in the pipeline and create tasks for any that need follow-up.”
2
Agent Reviews Contacts
Your agent scans your contacts, checks last activity dates, and identifies who needs attention.
3
Tasks Are Created
The agent creates specific, actionable tasks: “Call Jordan at Acme Corp — last contact was 6 days ago, was interested in premium tier.”
4
You Execute
Open your task list each morning and you’ve got a clear, prioritized action plan — no manual pipeline review needed.
Task Notifications
When tasks are due or overdue, they appear in your dashboard and your agent can proactively remind you during chat:“Hey — you’ve got 3 tasks due today and 1 overdue from yesterday. Want me to walk through them?”
