# Task Management

The Brevo CRM Tasks API enables you to create and manage sales activities, follow-ups, and reminders to keep your team organized within the Tajo platform.

## Overview

Task management is essential for:

- **Sales follow-ups** with automated reminders and due dates
- **Team coordination** assigning activities to specific team members
- **Deal progression** linking tasks to deals and companies
- **Activity tracking** monitoring team productivity and completion rates
- **Customer engagement** scheduling loyalty program outreach and check-ins

## Task Types

The CRM supports several task types for different sales activities:

| Type | Description | Use Case |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `call` | Phone call | Follow-up calls, demos, check-ins |
| `email` | Email outreach | Proposals, updates, newsletters |
| `meeting` | In-person or virtual meeting | Demos, negotiations, reviews |
| `todo` | General task | Internal work, research, prep |
| `deadline` | Time-sensitive task | Contract renewals, milestones |

## Automated Task Creation

### Deal-Based Task Automation

Create tasks automatically when deals progress through stages:

```javascript
class TaskAutomation {
  constructor() {
    this.tasksApi = new TasksApi();
  }

  async createDealFollowUp(deal, stageChange) {
    const taskTemplates = {
      'Lead': {
        name: `Qualify lead: ${deal.name}`,
        taskType: 'call',
        daysFromNow: 1,
        duration: 900
      },
      'Qualified': {
        name: `Schedule demo: ${deal.name}`,
        taskType: 'meeting',
        daysFromNow: 3,
        duration: 3600
      },
      'Demo': {
        name: `Send proposal: ${deal.name}`,
        taskType: 'email',
        daysFromNow: 1,
        duration: 1800
      },
      'Proposal': {
        name: `Follow up on proposal: ${deal.name}`,
        taskType: 'call',
        daysFromNow: 5,
        duration: 900
      },
      'Negotiation': {
        name: `Finalize contract: ${deal.name}`,
        taskType: 'deadline',
        daysFromNow: 7,
        duration: 3600
      },
      'Closed Won': {
        name: `Onboard customer: ${deal.name}`,
        taskType: 'meeting',
        daysFromNow: 2,
        duration: 3600
      }
    };

    const template = taskTemplates[stageChange.newStage];
    if (!template) return null;

    const taskDate = new Date();
    taskDate.setDate(taskDate.getDate() + template.daysFromNow);

    return await this.tasksApi.createTask({
      name: template.name,
      taskType: template.taskType,
      date: taskDate.toISOString(),
      duration: template.duration,
      assignTo: deal.attributes.deal_owner,
      dealsIds: [deal.id],
      companiesIds: deal.attributes.company_id ? [deal.attributes.company_id] : [],
      contactsIds: deal.attributes.contact_id ? [deal.attributes.contact_id] : [],
      done: false,
      reminder: { value: 30, unit: 'minutes' }
    });
  }

  async createLoyaltyCheckIn(company) {
    return await this.tasksApi.createTask({
      name: `Loyalty program check-in: ${company.name}`,
      taskType: 'call',
      date: new Date(Date.now() + 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000).toISOString(),
      duration: 1800,
      assignTo: company.attributes.account_manager,
      companiesIds: [company.id],
      notes: `Review tier status: ${company.attributes.loyalty_tier}\nAnnual spend: $${company.attributes.annual_spend}`,
      done: false,
      reminder: { value: 1, unit: 'days' }
    });
  }
}
```

### Bulk Task Operations

```javascript
class BulkTaskManager {
  async createRenewalTasks(daysBeforeExpiry = 90) {
    const renewalDate = new Date();
    renewalDate.setDate(renewalDate.getDate() + daysBeforeExpiry);

    const companies = await this.companiesApi.getCompanies({
      filters: {
        'attributes.renewal_date': `<${renewalDate.toISOString()}`
      }
    });

    const tasks = [];
    for (const company of companies.items) {
      const task = await this.tasksApi.createTask({
        name: `Contract renewal: ${company.name}`,
        taskType: 'deadline',
        date: company.attributes.renewal_date,
        assignTo: company.attributes.account_manager,
        companiesIds: [company.id],
        notes: `Contract value: $${company.attributes.contract_value}\nCurrent tier: ${company.attributes.loyalty_tier}`,
        done: false,
        reminder: { value: 7, unit: 'days' }
      });
      tasks.push(task);
    }

    return tasks;
  }
}
```

## API Methods Reference

```javascript
// Create a new task
const task = await tasksApi.createTask({
  name: 'Follow up call',
  taskType: 'call',
  date: '2026-02-15T10:00:00Z',
  assignTo: 'sales@tajo.io',
  done: false
});

// Get task by ID
const task = await tasksApi.getTask('task_xyz789');

// Update task
await tasksApi.updateTask('task_xyz789', {
  done: true,
  notes: 'Customer agreed to upgrade tier'
});

// Delete task
await tasksApi.deleteTask('task_xyz789');

// List tasks with filtering
const tasks = await tasksApi.getTasks({
  filters: {
    done: false,
    taskType: 'call',
    assignTo: 'sarah@tajo.io'
  },
  sort: 'date:asc',
  limit: 50
});
```

## Best Practices

1. **Automate task creation**: Link tasks to deal stage changes for consistent follow-up
2. **Set reminders**: Always configure reminders for time-sensitive tasks
3. **Link records**: Associate tasks with deals, companies, and contacts for context
4. **Track completion**: Monitor task completion rates for team performance insights
5. **Use task types**: Categorize tasks properly for accurate activity reporting

## Error Handling

```javascript
try {
  const task = await tasksApi.createTask(taskData);
  console.log('Task created:', task.id);
} catch (error) {
  if (error.status === 400) {
    console.error('Invalid task data:', error.message);
  } else if (error.status === 404) {
    console.error('Associated deal or contact not found');
  } else {
    console.error('Unexpected error:', error);
  }
}
```
