# Task Management

## Overview

The Task Board allows you to organize and manage tasks your Agent creates. There are two types of tasks you can set up:

1. **Scheduled Tasks**: Time-based tasks that can be one-time or recurring
2. **Long-term Tasks**: Goal-oriented planning with multiple sub-tasks

## Scheduled Tasks

Scheduled tasks are time-based reminders that can be either one-time or recurring.

### Types of Scheduled Tasks

* **One-time Task**: Single execution task (e.g., "Send a tweet about the latest crypto news")
* **Recurring Task**: Repeated on a defined schedule (e.g., "Send an email at 3 PM every day")

### Creating Scheduled Tasks

**Example instructions:**

* "Remind me to drink water in one hour"
* "Please remind me to send an email at 3 PM every day"

**Workflow:**

1. Input the instruction
2. Click **Schedule Task**
3. Agent will process and create the task

4. View and edit task details:
   * Task Name
   * Task Instruction
   * Task Time
   * Task Type (automatically assigned, not editable)
   * Click **End Task** to cancel the task

## Long-term Tasks

Long-term tasks are goal-oriented planning tasks that can generate multiple sub-tasks to achieve a specific objective.

### Creating Long-term Tasks

**Example instructions:**

* "Help me operate my Twitter account. I am focused on #AI and #Web3"
* "Please help me plan a Twitter operation. Aim to increase 1,000 followers"

**Workflow:**

1. Input the instruction
2. Click **Long-term Task**

4. View and edit task details:
   * Task Name
   * Task Instruction
   * Task Time
   * Task Type (auto-assigned)
   * Click **End Task** to stop the process

### Task Hierarchy

Long-term tasks follow a hierarchical structure:

* **Parent Task**: Main goal or long-term objective
* **Sub-task**: Specific actions generated from the parent task

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note**: Ending the parent task will automatically terminate all associated sub-tasks.
{% endhint %}

## Notifications

### Execution Notification

After the agent executes a task, the user will receive a notification:

* After completing a task, the agent will proactively provide feedback in the session where the task was originally assigned.

* After each task is executed, a task session will automatically appear, displaying a notification along with the task logs.

* Displays task execution updates from the Agent
* Click a notification to view task details in the TaskBoard
