Getting Started with Tasks

Tasks help you keep track of what you need to get done in Highrise. A task can be due at a specific date or time, have a general time frame like next week, or repeat when completed or originally due.

You can create tasks related to any contact, note, email, case, or deal.

Task time frames

There are six different time frames you can assign to a task.

1. A Specific date or time

Choose a day from the date picker and a time in any 15 minute increment. Currently, a task assigned to a specific day must also have a time.

2. Today

Task will be due on the same day you create it.

3. Tomorrow

Task will be due on the day after you create it.

4. This week

Task will be due during the same week you create it. A week runs from Sunday - Saturday.

5. Next week

Task will be due the week after you create it. A week runs from Sunday - Saturday.

6. Later

No time frame associated with the task.

Time frames automatically adjust

Time frames will automatically adjust relative to the current day.

Tasks marked Later always stay marked as later. But as time passes next week becomes this week. This week becomes overdue. Tomorrow becomes today. Today becomes overdue.

Adding multiple tasks

Currently, tasks can only be added one at a time.

If you want to add multiple tasks at a time, a 3rd party integration might help you do what you want to do. Check out how Zapier connects Google Sheets and Highrise tasks.

Highrise is not involved in the development of any outside integrations. Each one is handled from start to finish by the 3rd party using our API.

Examples of Tasks

You can view your tasks from your tasks page. Any tasks that are attached to a case, deal, note, email, or contact will include a link next to the task.
