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.

  1. Click the Create button

  2. 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.

  1. Click the three-dot menu next to a list

  2. Select Add Multiple Tasks

  3. Enter task titles, one per line


Option 3: From Table View

If you are using the table view in a Board:

  1. Click Add new item at the bottom of the table

  2. Enter the task title. The new task will appear at the top of the Doing 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’ll cover this in more detail in another article. Stay tuned!


Option 5: Create Tasks from Conversations

You can also create tasks directly from messages in conversations.

  1. Open a conversation

  2. Hover over a message

  3. Click the three-dot menu

  4. Select Create Task

This allows you to quickly turn messages into actionable tasks.
