What is a Task? ​

A Task is an action item — something that needs to be done by a specific date. Tasks help you stay on top of follow-ups, deadlines, and to-dos.

Creating Tasks ​

From anywhere:

  1. Go to Tasks → Click + New Task
  2. Fill in:
    • Subject — What needs to be done
    • Due Date — Deadline
    • Priority — High, Medium, Low
    • Assigned To — Who should do it
    • Related To — Link to a Lead, Contact, Deal, or Account
    • Description — Additional details

From a Lead/Contact/Deal:

  1. Open any record → Go to Tasks tab
  2. Click + Add Task
  3. Task auto-links to that record
