Tasklytic

Forms and rules

Collect work through intake forms that create tasks, and automate the routine steps with trigger-condition-action rules.

Two features handle work that arrives on its own schedule: forms turn requests from clients or colleagues into tasks, and rules do the routine follow-up so nobody has to remember it.

Intake forms

Open Forms from the section bar. Each form belongs to a project — a submission creates a task in that project.

Building a form

Select a form to open the editor, which has a Builder tab and a Submissions tab.

Add questions from the field palette:

Field typeNotes
Short text / Long textWith optional placeholder
NumberNumeric answers
DateDate picker
Single select / Multi selectColor-coded options
AttachmentFile upload from the submitter

Every field can be marked required, and any field can be shown conditionally based on an earlier answer — for example, only ask for a filing deadline when the request type is "Tax return".

Configuring what happens on submit

The configuration panel beside the builder controls:

  • Name and description shown to submitters.
  • Target project, default section, and default assignee for created tasks.
  • Task title field — which answer becomes the task name.
  • Copy answers to task description — write the full submission into the task body.
  • Confirmation message shown after a successful submit.
  • Cover image and logo for branding the public page.

Publishing and sharing

Toggle Published to make the form live, then choose who can submit:

AccessWho can submit
Anyone with the linkPublic — no account required
Workspace members onlyRequires signing in to your workspace

The share URL is /project-management/forms/<form-id>; copy it from the form's entry in the list. Public form pages are excluded from search-engine indexing.

Note: An admin can switch off Allow public form sharing under Settings → Workspace → Security. When it's off, every published form requires workspace sign-in regardless of its own setting.

Submissions

The Submissions tab lists every response with its answers and a link to the task it created. Each submission also raises a Form submission notification, and can trigger rules.

Rules

Rules run automatically inside a project. Open Rules from the command palette or /w/<workspace>/rules, and filter the list by project.

A rule is a trigger, optional conditions, and one or more actions.

Triggers

TriggerFires when
Task added to projectAny new task lands in the project
Task moved to sectionA task enters a chosen section
Task completedA task is marked complete
Task due in N daysChecked on a daily schedule
Custom field changedA field changes, optionally to a specific value
Form submittedA chosen intake form receives a response

Actions

Add to projectAlso file the task elsewhere
Set custom fieldWrite a field value
Add collaboratorAdd a follower
Send notificationMessage someone in their inbox
Create subtaskAdd a named subtask
Send emailEmail the assignee or a chosen person

Conditions narrow when the actions run — for example, only for tasks where a priority field equals High.

Building and checking rules

  • Rule library offers ready-made starting points: triage incoming requests, daily due reminders, move completed tasks to Done, an approval hand-off, round-robin assignment, and an at-risk status alert.
  • Test runs a rule against a task you choose so you can see what it would do before enabling it.
  • History shows past runs, and each rule tracks its run count and last run time.
  • Rules can be enabled, disabled, duplicated, and deleted at any time.

Actions taken by a rule are recorded in the affected task's activity feed and can notify people through Automations in the inbox.

Rules can also arrive packaged with a bundle or project template, which keeps a standard workflow consistent across every project that uses it.
