Creating a Task

Tasks are created and managed per application. Before creating a task, ensure you have created an application.

Step 1 — Open the Tasks section

In the console, navigate to your application and open the Tasks tab. You will see a list of all existing tasks and a button to create a new one.

Step 2 — Fill in the task details

Click Create task and provide the following:

• Name — a short label for the task, visible to your team. Choose something descriptive that reflects the action.

• Description — explains what the user needs to do to complete the task. This may be shown to users depending on your integration.

• Plugin — the mechanism that governs how the task is processed. The available plugins determine what type of action is tracked.

• Categories — optional classification tags. Useful for filtering and analytics.

Step 3 — Configure rewards

Attach a reward to the task. The reward is what the user receives upon successful completion. The reward type and value depend on your configuration.

Rewards can be edited later without recreating the task.

Step 4 — Configure automations (optional)

Automations let you add rules that control task behaviour automatically — for example, applying rate limits, setting active periods, or adjusting traffic targets. These can be added or changed at any time.

Step 5 — Save and review

Save the task. Its initial status will be Not started or Inactive. The task must be in Active status before it can be processed by users. You can activate it manually from the task detail page.
