Automation

Exclude group managers from lead distribution automation

  • The ‘If/Else’ card now lets you set up conditions on triggered tasks (for task-based automations) and tasks added via the ‘Create Task’ card. For more information, see Lead Automation Conditions – If/Else.

  • Daylight savings are accounted for when you choose a specific date and time to wait until. This functionality is configured for all time zones that observe daylight savings. To edit your time zone and other profile settings navigate to My Profile.

 

Tasks

Task Type Config UI

  • You can now assign colours to task types. These colours show up on the calendar view on the Manage Tasks page as well. For more information, see Managing Task Types.

  • You can set a default task duration while creating a task type. You can also enter a duration every time you create a new task. In case you don’t enter a start and end time while creating the task, the default duration configured for the task type will automatically be applied. For more information, see Managing Task Types.

  • Owner filters you apply for ‘List, Day, Week, Month’ options on the task calendar will automatically get saved. So if you’ve filtered task by day for User A, and tasks by week for User B, these filters will remain even when you switch between tabs.

 

Permission Templates

You can set restrictions on export activity permissions for your users. For more information, see How to Create a Permission Template.
