Maximizing Efficiency with Task Completion Triggers

Overview

Task completion triggers are a recent feature addition to our CRM, designed to automate the monitoring of task statuses, specifically the completion of tasks. This feature is particularly useful for supervisors and team leaders looking to track task progress without manually checking each task.

How It Works

When a task is marked as completed in the CRM, the task completion trigger can automatically initiate a predefined workflow. This could include sending notifications to supervisors, updating records, or triggering other related tasks. This automation significantly reduces the time spent on manual checks and follow-ups.

Implementing Task Completion Triggers

Setting Up a Task

1. Create a Task: Begin by creating a task in the CRM. For example, you might create a task titled "Check CRM Record for Contact," where the objective is to verify the accuracy of contact information in the CRM.

2. Assign the Task: Assign the task to a specific team member and set a due date to ensure timely completion.

Creating a Task Completion Workflow

1. Initiate a New Workflow: Start by setting up a new workflow in the CRM, specifically for monitoring task completion.

2. Add a Task Completion Trigger: Within the workflow, add the “Task Completed” trigger. This trigger will activate the workflow once a task is marked as completed.

3. Configure Notifications: Decide on the action to be taken once the trigger is activated. For instance, you can set up an internal notification to inform a supervisor that the task has been completed.

Practical Use Cases

• Streamlining Communication: Use task completion triggers to automatically update contact records once new information is obtained, ensuring all communication channels are up-to-date.

• Supervisor Notifications: Automate notifications to supervisors or team leaders when tasks are completed, eliminating the need for manual task status checks.

Troubleshooting and FAQs

• Task Not Triggering Workflow: Ensure the task is correctly linked to the workflow and that the trigger conditions are accurately defined.

• Notifications Not Being Sent: Verify that the notification action within the workflow is correctly set up, including recipient details and message content.
