The Tasks tab lives in your assistant’s workspace rail, and it exists to answer two questions at any moment: what standing work does this teammate have, and how has it been going? In the tab’s own words, it holds “scheduled, recurring, triggered, and continuous workflows — definition and run history together.” That “together” is the design: there’s no separate activity page to cross-reference. Each task carries its own history, so the setup and the track record are always one click apart. (The ⓘ button in the tab header opens a quick “How to use this tab” guide if you ever want the refresher in-product.)

The task list

Tasks appear as expandable cards. Collapsed, each shows the essentials on one line: the task’s name, its cadence in plain words (“Every week on Mon at 08:00”, “Every 30 minutes”), when it next runs, its priority, and a status badge. The footer keeps the running tally — how many tasks exist and how many runs have been logged. Use the All / Active / Paused filter and the search box to narrow things down, and the refresh button to pull the latest. When any task is mid-run, a pulsing Working indicator appears in the toolbar. Expand a card and it splits in two:
  • The definition (left) — the plain-language description your assistant works from, plus the structured facts: Type (Scheduled, Triggered, On demand, Offline), Trigger (which event arms it, for triggered tasks), Cadence, Start, Next run, and Priority.
  • Run history (right) — every past run in a compact table: its state, why it started (“On schedule”, “Triggered by Email”, “Started on demand”), when it started and finished, and how long it took.
Click any run to open the Run Detail view — “what happened, why it started, and when it ran”: the task it belongs to, its status, the contact and channel that triggered it where relevant, and the precise timing from scheduled-for through completed-at.

What the statuses mean

BadgeMeaning
ScheduledWill start automatically at its next scheduled time
ReadyArmed and waiting for a matching event
RunningActively executing right now
CompletedFinished successfully
FailedStopped because something went wrong during execution
CancelledWas stopped before it finished
PendingCreated and waiting to start

What to use the tab for

In practice, the Tasks tab earns its place in a few recurring moments:
  • Right after creating a task — confirm it landed the way you meant: the description reads right, the cadence parsed correctly, the next run is when you expected.
  • The “did it run?” check — a glance at run history answers whether last night’s job fired, how long it took, and whether it succeeded.
  • Triaging a failure — a Failed badge plus the run’s detail view tells you when and how a run died, so you can ask your assistant a precise question about it.
  • Auditing the standing workload — a periodic scroll through the list keeps the set of recurring jobs intentional rather than accreted; anything stale is one chat message away from being cancelled.

Watching a run live

Run history tells you what happened; the Actions tab shows what’s happening. When a task fires, its work streams there in real time — handy the first time a new task runs, or when you’ve hit Test it on a trigger and want to watch the dominoes fall.

Making changes

The Tasks tab is a window, not a control panel — creating, editing, pausing, and deleting all happen by asking your assistant. If something in the list looks off, the fastest fix is to say so: “the Friday recap ran twice last week — what happened?”
