Tasks represent specific actions that need to be completed by a rep or team member, such as making a follow-up call, sending a proposal, or researching a prospect.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Task Properties<\/h2>\n<p>Each Task in Zoho CRM has: a Subject (description of the action), Due Date, Priority (High, Medium, Low), Status (Open, Completed, Deferred), and Assigned Owner. Tasks are linked to a Contact, Lead, Deal, or Account and appear on the record&#8217;s timeline as well as in the assigned user&#8217;s My Tasks view.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Automated Task Creation<\/h2>\n<p>Tasks are frequently created automatically via <a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/create-task-workflow-action\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">Workflow Actions<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/blueprint-after-action\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">Blueprint After Actions<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/blueprint-sla\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">Blueprint SLAs<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/cadence-step\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">Cadence Steps<\/a>.

Blueprint After Actions automatically create a task for the agent to call the client within 24 hours after every showing is logged.
