What's new in the Tasks app

December 1, 2023

Our new Tasks & Subtickets app has been completely remade so it's now easier than ever to set up and manage tasks, projects, and workflows in Zendesk. With new improvements and features, the app is even more capable of meeting the most advanced workflows your business requires.

Ticket updates on anything

Whether it's a task being checked off, a task list being completed, or a global event like any task being added or completed — you can configure anything to happen on a ticket without writing a single line of code. This allows far more flexible processes to be built with ease.

More flexibility around ticket field values

Whenever any task event takes place, you can dynamically update information in ticket fields. For example, you could set a field to store a list of all completed tasks and another to store the remaining tasks.

Enhanced template customisation

Create and modify ticket templates with greater flexibility, including cloning and field overrides. You can now also set the requester of a sub-ticket based on a Zendesk lookup field, rather than being limited to the requester or assignee of the parent ticket.

Cloning

Ticket templates and task lists can now be cloned — a big time-saver for complex environments.

Multi-language support

Define translations of any task or task list details into any language you have enabled in your Zendesk localisation settings.

Easy access to triggers

For automated task lists, the trigger that applies them is now linked directly within the app's UI — no more digging through your Zendesk triggers to find the right one.

Improved admin features

A new audit log shows who changed what within the app, and access management has been significantly improved.
