Understanding the Tasks page
Last updated: July 1, 2026
Tasks is your daily action queue. Every time a lead replies, reaches a manual sequence step, or lands in your inbox waiting for approval, Topo creates a task automatically. You work through them one by one — send, call, approve, or skip — and the next one loads.
What types of tasks exist
| Type | When it appears |
|---|---|
| Reply | A lead has replied and is waiting for your response |
| Lead approval | A new lead in Copilot mode is waiting to be approved before the sequence starts |
| Call | A lead has reached a Call step in a sequence |
Filtering tasks
Use the filter icon at the top of the Tasks view to narrow the queue. Two filters are available:
Sequence — select one or more sequences; supports multi-select
Type — show only a specific task type (e.g. email reply, lead approval)
Click Apply to update the queue.
How tasks are assigned
Task assignment is controlled by two settings.
Owner assignment (Settings → Engage → Assignment) sets the global logic:
Per sequence: assignment follows the configuration on each sequence
Per contact: tasks for a contact always go to the team member who owns them
Per company: tasks for all contacts at a company go to the team member who owns that company
Sequence-level assignment (Sequence Settings → Assignment) sets who can receive tasks from that sequence:
Any team member: round robin across the whole team
Selected team members: round robin among chosen members
Based on sending identity: assigned to the team member linked to the identity that sent the message
After you close a task
Closed means closed — a task only reopens if a reminder rule triggers, or if the lead replies again (which creates a new task).
Reopened tasks show a reminder icon so you can tell them apart from fresh ones.
Done tab
Completed and skipped tasks are stored in the Done tab at the top of the Tasks view. From there you can:
View the full conversation history
Reopen a task to bring it back into your active queue
Continue the conversation directly without reopening
