To **automate tasks without code**, you attach automations to the task records themselves. Assignment, status changes, and follow-up stop being things someone has to remember.

## Why task management stays manual

Tasks are usually treated as a list rather than as records in a process, which means nothing happens automatically.

- Tasks created by hand after every triggering event
- Assignment decided in a meeting rather than by rule
- Overdue tasks noticed by whoever happens to look
- Completion that should trigger something else, and does not

## What task automation can cover

- **Creation** — a task generated when a record reaches a phase
- **Assignment** — routed to the right person by rule
- **Status changes** — moved automatically when a condition is met
- **Notification** — the responsible person told without anyone messaging them
- **Follow-on actions** — completing a task triggering the next step

## How to configure it in Jestor

1. Open the automations area in **Jestor** and scroll to the task automations.
2. Choose from the native task automations available.
3. Set the trigger — a phase change, a date, or a record condition.
4. Configure the action, pulling values from the record so it applies per case.
5. Check the execution log after the first run to confirm behaviour.

## Why choose Jestor for task workflows?

**Jestor** applies automation to its own native tasks rather than only to custom tables, which means the task system used across the platform is as programmable as anything you build yourself.

The set is expanding: four native task automations shipped initially, with more being added, so processes built on tasks become progressively more dynamic without any rebuild.
