Assigning To Dos to Your Clients

As you move through your relationship with clients or with prospects, there will be times when you need to hold them accountable to specific actions, or keep track of action items that they are handling. Engage has the ability to assign to-dos or tasks to anyone in your workspaces.  Anytime your contacts log in they are able to see that they have specific tasks assigned. Your contacts are also able to assign tasks back to you, so that you can both track what is to come next in your relationship. 

Anytime a to-do or task is assigned, an automated email will go out to the person assigned so that they know what task they are to handle and when it is due. They will also have a list of those to-dos when they log in to the workspace as well. When to-dos are completed, the person who created each item will be alerted that it has been marked done as well. 

See below for step by step instructions for assigning to-dos or tasks to your contacts.
