What it is
Chat & Tasks combines the staff's team chat (channels and direct messages, with file attachments) and a task board where tasks can be assigned to a person or to a whole role, with due dates, priorities and reminders.
When you use it
For day-to-day coordination: message the staff, share a file, and track who needs to do what — from match-day jobs to medical follow-ups — on a simple board.
How it works
Chat. A team channel and direct messages, with file attachments and inline link previews; documents can be pinned to a channel. Messages carry a type (plain text or file, among others).
Tasks. A board with columns — Backlog, In Progress, Blocked/Review, Done — and filters (All, Mine, Overdue, Due today, Match-day, Medical, Routine). Create a task with a title, description, due date, priority (low/medium/high/urgent) and category (general, match-day, medical, routine, event), assign it, add reminders, and move it across the board. Completing a task notifies the creator and assignees.
Key concepts
By person vs by role. A task can be assigned two ways:
- By person — to one specific member; only they are notified.
- By role — to a role (e.g. all physios); everyone with that role on the team is the assignee, and all of them are notified.
Role-based assignment is what lets you delegate a job to "the medical staff" or "the coaches" without naming individuals — the app resolves the role to the current members.
Reminders / alarms. A task can carry one or more reminders — presets like a day or an hour before, on the due date, or a custom time. Each reminder is stored with its fire time and a sent marker; delivery is handled by a scheduled process.
Status and notifications. Tasks move Backlog → In Progress → Blocked/Review → Done. The transition to Done raises a notification to the creator and the assignees. Notifications from other modules (like a physio adaptation) also flow through this system.
FAQ
Can I assign a task to a whole role? Yes — assign by role and everyone with that role on the team gets it (and a notification); or assign by person for a single member.
How do reminders fire? You set reminder times on the task; a scheduled process sends them (the exact channel — push/email/in-app — wasn't confirmed from this page).
Can I attach files in chat? Yes — attachments and inline link previews are supported, and documents can be pinned to a channel.
