Create Task Conversation Type

Starting with V10.0, Cora SeQuence has been renamed to Cora Orchestration.

V9.7 and later

Overview

Task conversation type is a Conversations View component that enables the end-users to create ad-hoc tasks and monitor new tasks from within the case conversations.

Configuring a Task conversation type is similar to configuring other conversation types.

IMPORTANT
Ad-hoc conversation tasks are Conversation View records. To make them actionable, you need to set up an infrastructure to create and send the actual task to the relevant recipients. You can use the State Triggered Workflows or the Client API for this purpose.

Enable Task conversation item

In the Administration site, select the Solution for which you want to enable the Task conversation.
In the Solution Components section, click Conversations View.
In the Conversation View window:
1. Under General Setting > Conversation Types, select the Task conversation type.
2. under General Setting > State Triggered Workflows, add status change handlers for event handling.
  For details, see the Configure state triggered workflows section below.
3. Under Task Settings, add task templates and types.
