The moment that kills a deal is usually a quiet one: a follow-up that was supposed to happen yesterday, sitting in the “someday” pile because it was assigned to nobody, or to the wrong person, or to a single contact when the decision was really made by three.
Tasks are where follow-through lives — so we rebuilt them around how sales teams actually work, not around a to-do list from 1998.
Highlights at a glance: tasks that span multiple contacts and multiple people, subtasks with flexible follow-up, dispositions that mean something to your process, a Tasks tab right on the contact, and settings that stick.
01 — One Task, Whole Cast of Players
B2B deals are rarely one-to-one. Now the task finally admits it.
- Assign a task to several people and tie it to several contacts at once.
- Reassign tasks, dates, and actions in bulk — no more editing ten identical to-dos one at a time.
- An “association options” endpoint that keeps every related record in sync.
02 — Subtasks That Keep Things Moving
Big follow-ups decompose into small ones. Now the small ones can’t get lost.
- Subtasks nested directly inside a parent task.
- Flexible follow-up options — complete and re-schedule without losing the thread.
- Keep the details on the original contact through a “Complete with Follow-Up,” so history stays attached to the right record.
03 — Dispositions That Match Your Process
“Done” is too vague. Dispositions are where your pipeline gets its honesty back.
- Per-account and per-task-type dispositions — configured your way.
- Default dispositions seeded on the standard task types, so it works before you customize.
- Same dispositions available on mobile, so a completed call is logged with the right outcome, not a shrug.
04 — Tasks Where the Work Is
A task buried in a task manager you don’t open is a task that didn’t happen.
- A Tasks tab right on the Contact detail — the full context of the contact beside the work.
- Interactive task view: edit, complete, quick actions, and navigate straight to the contact.
- Just-completed items surface immediately in the activity feed.
05 — Settings That Respect Your Team
Nothing kills adoption like the page size resetting and the sort order forgetting itself every refresh.
- Page-size defaults that persist — the thing you choose is the thing it stays.
- Sort options that remember, including a Today default on mobile.
- Task color swatches and per-account quick-color palettes, so the board reads the way you code it.
06 — Assignment That Actually Notifies
Here’s the fix for the “nobody knew it was their problem” moment:
- Assignments fire contact-assigned events and notifications.
- Task CompanyId reconciles from the linked contact’s primary company — so the company view sees it too.
