Create a Task Macro

Updated 

1 day ago

Macros are used to execute multiple actions on an entity with a single click. You can apply task macros to tasks to take multiple actions the same way you can with other entity types. Macros allow you to create efficient task workflows, taking multiple actions on a task at once.

While creating Task Macros, you can add Outbound Message, Campaign, Sub-Campaign, and Asset macros as Related Macros. Once you apply task macro, task properties such as standard and custom fields will get updated along with that of the associated entity. Let us say, you have selected Outbound as Related Macro and have set one Outbound Macro to update a certain custom field. As soon as the task macro is applied, both task and outbound fields will get updated.
