Adding a task to contact an assigned user can be automated. Let’s say that you add the tag “ultimate task” to a contact to cause the system to automatically add this task to the assigned user’s contact page and notify both of them. In this article, we will go over the Add Task action and how to use it.
This action exists within workflows and works similarly to the add task option within the contact area.
Under Workflow Triggers, select “Contact tag” in the “Contact” section of the Workflow Triggers Menu
Filter for a tag that you can create from the filter menu and many areas within the system including the contact area and settings
