  • Choose the Task Type, Priority and Owner of the task
  • Select a Date and Time for the task to be performed

  • Click on Create
  • To create some types of tasks, you may need to provide additional information.
    • For the email step, you have to compose the email to be sent. You can either write the email yourself or use an existing email template.
    • For phone call step, you have to define the purpose of the call beforehand.
    • For LinkedIn step (except view a profile), you have to compose the message or InMail to be sent. 

    Your task will be added successfully to the Tasks section for the given date and time. To view your task, use the Search tool in the management bar.

    To create a task from the Prospect section -

    • Hover on the existing prospect and click on Create Task icon. 
    • Go to a Prospects Profile and click on Create Task icon.
