Add Task Action: Flexible Due Dates & Rich Text Descriptions

You can configure task due dates using days, weeks, months, or years, add a specific due time, see a live preview of the evaluated due date, and create task descriptions with rich text formatting.

• Set due dates using days, weeks, months, or years — no more being limited to a short window
• Add a specific due time for the task
• See a live preview of what the final due date and time will be if the workflow runs right now
• Write task descriptions using rich text formatting, which is preserved when the task is saved and displayed in Tasks

How It Works

In the Add Task action, the due date is configured through a Due In input with a numeric value and time unit. You can optionally set a specific time, and the action shows a live preview of the final due date and time. Task descriptions now support rich text and retain their formatting when saved.

How to Use It

1. In the Add Task action, enter a value in Due In and choose days, weeks, months, or years
2. Optionally select a due time and enable Exclude Weekends if needed
3. Add a rich text description for the task
4. Review the live due date preview before saving

Example Use Case

A real estate team can create a task due in 2 weeks at 10:30 AM for a follow-up call after a property tour.

Additional Notes

• Existing workflows that use the current day-based due date setup continue to work the same way
• If Exclude Weekends is enabled, weekends are skipped when calculating the due date, and the live preview uses the same logic as final task creation
• Rich text formatting is preserved when the task is saved and displayed across task surfaces
