Activities and tasks
Log calls, emails, meetings; schedule follow-ups; never drop a thread.

Activities record what happened; tasks remind you of what needs to happen next.
Activity types
- Call — logged with duration, outcome, notes.
- Email — auto-logged if Gmail / Outlook integration connected; otherwise manually.
- Meeting — calendar integration auto-logs.
- Note — free-text observation.
- Demo — specialised meeting type with demo script + feedback capture.
Each activity links to an account, contact, and optionally an opportunity.
Auto-logging
With email / calendar integration connected:
- Outbound and inbound emails with known contacts auto-log.
- Meeting invites to known contacts auto-log.
- Attachments attach to the activity.
Manual logging is still supported for offline interactions (physical meetings, phone calls).
Tasks
A task is a scheduled to-do with:
- Subject.
- Due date / time.
- Owner.
- Linked record (account, contact, opportunity, lead).
- Priority.
- Status (open, done, cancelled).
Owner sees tasks on their home dashboard; overdue tasks highlighted.
Task automations
Triggers that create tasks automatically:
- Stage advance — move opportunity to "Proposal sent" → create "Follow up in 3 days" task.
- Contract renewal — 60 days before end, create "Renewal conversation" task.
- Promise-to-pay missed — finance task to re-engage.
- New account assigned — onboarding task sequence.
Configurable in /app/admin/automation.
Email templates
Sales email templates with merge fields (account, contact, opportunity, rates). Send-from-template speeds common sequences (intro, follow-up, proposal).
Cadences
Sequence of activities + tasks to run over days / weeks (e.g. 7-touch cold outreach: email day 1, LinkedIn day 3, call day 5, email day 7…). Sales ops configures cadences; reps enrol prospects.
Reporting
- Activities per rep per week.
- Response rates by channel.
- Time to first-touch on leads.
- Meeting-to-proposal conversion.
