Task Management

Create, assign, and track tasks in WorkClaw with status updates, activity feeds, and Claw-assisted task completion.

How does task management work in WorkClaw?

Tasks in WorkClaw let you create, delegate, and track work items. You can create tasks manually or ask your Claw to create them from a conversation. Each task has a title, description, status, and an activity feed that records every update.

How do I create a task?

There are two ways:

From the Tasks view — Click "New Task," fill in the details, and save.
From Chat — Tell your Claw something like "Create a task to follow up with the design team by Friday." The agent creates the task and links it to the conversation.

Tasks created through Chat carry context from the conversation, so your Claw already understands what needs to happen when it picks the task up later.

What statuses can a task have?

Tasks move through a simple lifecycle:

Open — The task has been created but work has not started.
In Progress — Someone (or your Claw) is actively working on it.
Completed — The task is done.

You can update the status manually, or your Claw updates it automatically as it works through the task.

What is the task activity feed?

Every task has its own activity feed — a chronological log of everything that happened. This includes status changes, comments from team members, actions your Claw took, and any linked Chat messages or ClawMail threads.

The activity feed gives you full visibility into how a task progressed from creation to completion, which is especially useful when your Claw handled the work autonomously.

Can my Claw work on tasks independently?

Yes. Once a task is assigned to your Claw, it can work through the steps on its own — researching information, drafting documents, sending messages (with approval when needed), and updating the task status as it goes. You can check progress at any time through the activity feed.

How do tasks relate to Scheduled Tasks?

Tasks are one-off work items. Scheduled Tasks are recurring jobs that run on a cron schedule. If you need something done once, create a task. If you need something done every day at 9 AM, set up a scheduled task.
