# Tasks and reminders

> Follow-up tasks in Ghost's Pipeline: task types, automatic reminders for quiet and stuck deals, meeting follow-ups, snoozing, and the optional 8am daily task email.

Tasks keep deals from going cold. You can add them yourself, and Ghost adds them automatically when a deal goes quiet or a meeting needs following up.

**Where to find it:** sidebar → **Leads → Tasks**, or the **Tasks** tab in Pipeline. The sidebar badge shows how many tasks are overdue.

Tasks are grouped as **Overdue**, **Today** and **Upcoming**.

## Task types

Follow up, Call, LinkedIn message, Email, Meeting, and Meeting next step. A task can be linked to a deal and has a due date. Mark it done, or **snooze** it for 3 hours, until tomorrow, 3 days or a week. Tasks Ghost created carry an **Auto** badge.

## Automatic tasks

| Ghost creates a task when… | Default | Setting |
|----------------------------|---------|---------|
| An open deal has had no contact | 5 days | "Remind me after no contact for": off, 3, 5, 7, 10 or 14 days |
| A deal has been in one stage too long | 14 days | "Flag deals stuck in a stage for": off, 7, 14, 21, 30 or 45 days |
| The expected close date has passed | — | On when either reminder above is on |
| They missed a meeting | — | Task to rebook |
| A meeting happened and you haven't followed up | 1–7 days after | — |
| A next step they promised in a meeting is overdue | — | Task to chase |
| You have next steps from a meeting's Granola notes | — | "Turn my next steps into tasks" |

Change these in **Pipeline → Settings → Automation & reminders**, and the meeting options in **Pipeline → Settings → Meetings**.

## Daily task email

Turn on **Daily task email at 8am** in **Pipeline → Settings** to get a short email each morning, in your timezone, with:

- tasks due today
- queued replies going out soon
- new email enquiries waiting for you

It's **off by default**.

> **Tip:** Set your timezone in [Persona hub → You](https://www.growwithghost.io/docs/getting-started/persona) so the email and reminders arrive at the right time.
