How to Create Follow-up Tasks for Contacts
Set up reminders for youself or your teammates to stay in touch with your customers.
eWay-CRM is closely integrated with the Task module in Microsoft Outlook. You may want to:
- create tasks right in eWay-CRM while you are working with a contact, or
- create tasks in Outlook first and link them to items in eWay-CRM.
In both cases, as a result, tasks will appear in the tasks list in Outlook.
Creating Tasks in eWay-CRM
- Open a Contact.
- Click Add New and choose Task.
- A task window will pop up with the predefined Subject: Contact name.
The Superior Item will be also predefined.
- Specify Start date, Due date, Status, Priority. Set up the Reminder if needed.
- You may want to assign the task to another person by clicking the corresponding button in the ribbon. Click Save & Close.
Creating Tasks in Outlook
- In Outlook, go to the Tasks module (at the bottom part of the side menu).
- Click the New Task button to create a new task. It will open the Task window.
- Fill in all the necessary fields—Subject, Start and Due Date, etc. and specify a Superior Item (contact, company, deal, project or marketing campaign). In case you leave the field empty the task will not be saved to eWay-CRM and will stay in Microsoft Outlook only.
- Click Save & Close.
