    • Select the task Priority from the drop-down list.
    • If you'd like to notify the recipient of the task via email, click the check box labeled Send Email Notification.
    • If you'd like to send a reminder to the recipient of the task, click the check box labeled Send Reminder.
    • Select the day and time you'd like the reminder to be sent.
    • Select the type of reminder:
      • Alert through Email - A reminder email will be sent to the task owner at the specified time.
      • Alert through Pop-up - A pop-up reminder will be initiated to the task owner at the specified time.
    • Enter the task Description.

Note

  • Workflow tasks cannot be created for modules that does not support tasks in your Vertical CRM. 
  • Workflow tasks cannot be associated to a workflow rule if the Execution Criteria selected for a rule is 'Delete'.
  • If the Assigned To field is left blank, the system will automatically assign the Task to the record's owner.
  • If you select a workflow task while importing records (such as leads, accounts, contacts), Notify Assignee option (though selected for the particular workflow task) will not be applicable.
  • If the owner of the task is inactive or unconfirmed, then the task will be automatically assigned to the owner of the record to which the task is added. In case the record's owner is also an inactive or unconfirmed user, then the task will be assigned to the Super Administrator.
