Task Manager
The Task Manager app lets your workflows create tasks, update them, and react to task events. Use these nodes to assign work to people, flag items for review, or escalate issues.
Task Created (Trigger)
Starts the workflow when a new task is created in Glacis — whether manually or by another workflow.
When to use it: Auto-assigning tasks based on rules, sending notifications for new action items, escalating overdue tasks.
Task Scheduler (Trigger)
Starts the workflow on a schedule — for example, every morning at 9am or every Friday.
When to use it: Periodic task reviews, sending weekly summary emails, running scheduled checks.
Create Task (Action)
Creates a new task and assigns it to a user or team.
When to use it: Flagging items for human review, creating follow-up tasks when a workflow detects an issue, assigning approvals.
Configuration:
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Title | What needs to be done — supports template variables |
Description | Context and details |
Assignee | Who should handle this |
Priority | Critical, High, Medium, or Low |
Deadline | When the task is due |
Update Task (Action)
Modifies an existing task — change the status, reassign it, update the deadline, or add details.
When to use it: Automatically closing tasks when conditions are met, reassigning based on workload, updating priorities.
Do Action (Action)
Executes a task-related action — such as completing, approving, or rejecting a task programmatically.
When to use it: Automating task state changes as part of a larger workflow — for example, auto-completing a review task after a document is uploaded.
