The new Create Task block in the Salesforce connector in Qlik Automate can be used to create tasks and assign them to opportunities, users, and accounts. This allows you to provide critical insights to your sales team and compel them to take action. This article explains how this block can be used to create tasks for open renewal opportunities from within a Qlik app.

Prerequisites

For this example, we'll use a Qlik Analytics app containing upcoming renewal opportunities from Salesforce, which has already been configured with a button triggering an automation. More information on configuring an app with a button is available in Configuring the button with custom parameters.

More information on the Salesforce connector in automations is available in Getting started with the Salesforce connector.

Setup

App

The example app uses variable input charts to collect the subject, description, and assignee for the task. The button is configured to send these variables together with the selected opportunity id to the automation.

Automation

Start with a blank automation and copy the Inputs block from the app button's configuration
Paste the Inputs block into the automation editor and connect it to the Start block.
Add a Create Task block from the Salesforce connector and configure it with the values from the Inputs block.
Select an opportunity in the app, provide values for the variables, and then click the button to run the automation.
This will trigger the automation and create the task in Salesforce:
