Tasks help you organize your work, track progress, and manage action items in a structured way. Tasks can be created in several ways, depending on your preferences.
Let's take a look at the different ways to create tasks:
Option 1: From the Create Button in a List
You can create tasks directly from the Create button at the bottom of each list in a Board.
Click the Create button
Enter a task title
You can create:
A single task by typing the title on one line
Multiple tasks by entering multiple titles on separate lines (use Shift + Enter)
When adding multiple lines, you will be asked whether to create one task or multiple tasks.
Option 2: From the List Menu (Three Dots)
You can also add multiple tasks from the list’s options menu in a Board.
Click the three-dot menu next to a list
Select Add Multiple Tasks
Enter task titles, one per line
Option 3: From Table View
If you are using the table view in a Board:
Click Add new item at the bottom of the table
Enter the task title. The new task will appear at the top of the Open list.
Option 4: Create Tasks via Email
You can create tasks by sending emails to a dedicated board email address.
Go to Board → Settings → Create Tasks via Email
This allows you to send or forward emails to the generated address to create tasks automatically.
The email address is unique for each member.
Anyone with this email address can create tasks, even if they are not part of your workspace.
We’ve covered this in more detail here.
Option 5: Create Tasks from Conversations
You can also create tasks directly from messages in conversations.
Open a conversation
Hover over a message
Click the three-dot menu
Select Create Task
This allows you to quickly turn messages into actionable tasks.
For more details, see Creating Tasks from Messages.
Option 6: From the Calendar Board View
You can create a new task directly for a specific day from the Calendar view in a board. To do that:
Hover over a day in the calendar
Click the Add task button
Start typing the task title
Press Enter to create the task.
The newly created task will automatically have that day set as its due date.
