Select "Task Type" when "Creating a Task" in a Workflow

When "creating a task" via a workflow, the user does not have the ability to select the type of task being created. This would be a welcome feature to have in the workflow tool.

[Now Live] - Two updates to creating tasks in Workflows

 

What is it?

 

New Fields: When you create a task through Workflows, you can now set the Type, Title, and Reminder Date fields automatically. 


Task Personalization: In addition, you can also add contact personalization tokens to both the Task Title and Notes.

How it works
When you add an action to create a task in Workflows, you’ll see the new fields available. The Title and Notes fields now have a button to “Insert contact token” which will allow you to insert a personalization from a contact property.

 Hi there,

 

Is there any way I can create and add a new Type on my own choice? Thanks.
