Task Automation

Learn how tasket automatically creates tasks from your documents and helps you manage your workflow efficiently.

Automatic Task Creation

When documents are processed, tasket automatically creates tasks based on document content and type. This means you don't need to manually create tasks - the system does it for you!

How Tasks Are Created

From Invoices:

  • Task title includes invoice number and vendor name
  • Priority is set based on amount (high if over $10,000) or due date
  • Status starts as "Pending"
  • Due date is set from the invoice payment due date
  • Task links directly to the source invoice document

From Contracts:

  • Task created for contract review or renewal
  • Priority based on expiration date (high if expiring soon)
  • Status set to "Pending" or "Action Required"
  • Due date matches contract expiration date
  • Includes extracted contract details in description

Note: Tasks are only created for documents that contain actionable information. Not all documents will generate tasks - only those that require action.

Intelligent Priority Assignment

Tasks are automatically assigned priorities based on document content. You can also manually change priorities if needed:

High Priority

Assigned when invoice amount is over $10,000, due date is within 7 days, or document requires urgent attention

Medium Priority

Default priority for most documents. Also assigned when due date is within 30 days

Low Priority

Assigned for routine documents or items with due dates more than 30 days away

Priority Logic: The system considers invoice amounts, due dates, document types, and urgency indicators to automatically set appropriate priorities. You can always update priorities manually if needed.

Workflow Rules

Manage all your tasks in one place - whether they were automatically created or added manually:

See all tasks in the Tasks section. Filter by status (Pending, In Progress, Done), priority (Low, Medium, High), or search by keywords.

Update Task Status

Change status as you work: Start a task (In Progress), complete it (Done), or reopen if needed. Update priorities and assign to team members.

Link to Documents

Every auto-created task links directly to its source document. Click to view the original document and extracted data instantly.

Task Management

You can also create tasks manually for items that don't come from documents:

Creating Manual Tasks

  1. Go to the Tasks page
  2. Click "Create Task" or "New Task" button
  3. Fill in the task form:
    • Title (required)
    • Description (optional)
    • Priority level
    • Due date (optional)
    • Tags for organization (optional)
  4. Click "Create" to save

Best Practice: Update task status regularly as you progress. Mark tasks as "In Progress" when you start working, and "Done" when complete. This helps you and your team stay organized and track progress effectively.
