Tasks
Overview
The Tasks App allows internal users to create and assign tasks to other internal users, clients, or companies. It can be used for internal organization or to provide clients with clear instructions.
The app is particularly useful for managing client onboarding processes and ensuring all parties complete their required actions during collaborative projects. By centralizing task management, it helps teams track progress, meet deadlines, and maintain clear communication across both internal and external workflows.

Select Tasks in the Client-facing section.
After clicking on the app, click on Install in the top-right.
