Use Cases
Not sure how to make the most of this action? Here are a few ideas:
🪄 Use Case | 💭 Scenario | ⚙️ Action Flow |
Close dependent tasks | One task finishing means a related task should also be marked complete. | Automatically mark related or follow-up tasks as done to reflect progress. |
Sync task status | Tasks in different areas represent the same work item. | Keep status aligned across projects or blocks by marking mirrored tasks complete. |
Enforce task logic | A task should be marked done when certain criteria are met. | Automatically complete tasks to enforce rules or process conditions. |
End approval workflows | A task is reviewed and approved through another channel. | Mark the approved task as complete to close the loop and continue the workflow. |
Clean up automation chains | A project or process is wrapping up and leftover tasks need closure. | Mark any remaining tasks complete as part of final project clean-up. |
