We have released major improvements to tasks in the Contentful platform, adding new features and moving them into their own app.

These new features help users to manage their content workflows at scale and ensure major projects can be delivered on time.

Before:

• Tasks could only assign a task to individual users
• Tasks were not available in Compose and Launch
• Due dates could only be added in the task description
• Tasks were a built-in feature of the web app and it was enabled by default on your sidebar

After:

• You can assign a task to an individual user or a team
• You can add a due date, which will trigger reminders two days before the due date
• You can see view urgent and pending tasks in a single location
• You can work with tasks in the Compose + Launch, as well as the web app by installing tasks from our Marketplace

Availability

Tasks are available to Enterprise customers using P1X spaces or larger - this is unchanged.

For customers who have used apps within the last 12 months, Contentful has transitioned all existing tasks to the new app in the background. For existing customers who do not use tasks and new customers, the app can be installed from our Marketplace.
