Task › Completed Automation Template

We have an example of this automation in our Template Gallery here that you can start with, but read on for directions on how to make it your own!

Other Ideas for Task › Completed Automations

You can use a Task › Completed automation for lots of different things! Here's a few more ideas:

  • Send another Team Member an email when a task is complete

  • Add another task after you’ve completed one
