# Tasks

> Create and assign tasks, set start and due dates, get reminders, and complete tasks with a note.

Tasks are to-dos for a customer. You see them under **Projects › Tasks** (all customers), on a customer's page (one customer), and inside [playbooks](/projects/playbooks/).

There are two task types, which you can filter on:

- **Customer Tasks**: tasks you create yourself.
- **Playbook Tasks**: tasks a playbook creates for you.

## The task list

**Projects › Tasks** opens on **My Tasks**: tasks assigned to you. Switch between **Ongoing** and **Completed**, search with **Search tasks**, or open **Filter** to filter by **Assigned CSM**, **Due date from** / **until**, **Start date from** / **until** (*"Tasks starting in this range"*), **Priority** and **Type**. Tasks past their due date are marked **Overdue**.

## Create a task

1. Click **Create Task**. (In a playbook, use **Add task** in the stage instead.)
2. Fill in:
   - **Customer**: already filled in on a customer's page.
   - **Task Name** and **Description**.
   - **Start date**: a date, or turn on **Starts upon creation** to start it now.
   - **Due date**. The start date can't be after the due date.
   - **Priority**: **High**, **Medium** or **Low**.
   - **Assignee**: a colleague. In a shared playbook you can also pick a customer contact on the playbook's team.
3. Click **Create**.

## Edit, complete or delete

Open the menu on a task:

- **Manage** opens the task. Change what you need and click **Save changes**.
- **Mark as Completed** completes it. You're asked to **Add a short completion note** (*"This helps your team to track progress and impact"*): click **Add comment** to save it, or **No comment** to skip.
- **Delete** removes the task after you confirm.

You can also click **Mark as complete** inside the open task.

## Reminders and notifications

- **Task Assigned**: the assignee is notified when a task is assigned to them.
- **Task Approaches Due Date**: the assignee is reminded **one day before the due date**. If you change the due date, the reminder moves with it. Completing the task cancels it.

Each person chooses whether these arrive by email, in the bell, or not at all, in [Notification settings](/settings/notifications/).

## Tasks from your CRM

If your CRM is connected, its tasks are synced into CustomerCatalyst. The sync only reads from your CRM: changes made here are not sent back, and the next sync can overwrite them. Change synced tasks in your CRM. See [HubSpot](/integrations/hubspot/).
