Related: status-change reasons

When an approver changes a task's status, they are asked for a reason, which is saved as a comment on the task. See Task approval workflow.

Tips

  • @mention a teammate to send them a notification rather than messaging them separately.
  • Use bulk delete to clean up long comment threads after a task is closed.
