Delegations

Delegating hands a task to someone else while you keep tracking it. Your task moves to Waiting for; the other person gets a notification and sees it in their Delegations.

Flow

1. In the clarify flow answer "No" to Am I the right person?.
2. Pick a teammate in the app, or type a name for someone outside it.
3. They accept (a copy lands in their Inbox), decline (your task returns to Next action), or complete it. You're notified of every change.

If the task has steps, they travel with it unchecked. See Steps.

Status on your side (Waiting for)

Tasks you delegated to an app user show a colored badge with their name:

• Pending (amber): sent, no response yet.
• In progress (blue): accepted and being worked on.
• Completed (green): finished, waiting for you to close yours.

Delegated to someone outside the app (free text)? You just see the note you wrote, with no status badge.

The Delegations page

• To me: tasks others delegated to you. Accept or decline; you can read the title even before accepting.
• By me: tasks you delegated. Completed ones have a button to dismiss (hide) them once you've validated.

Following instead

The eye icon lets you follow any task that isn't yours (in a shared project). Followed tasks appear in Waiting for with a "Following" badge; tap the eye again to stop.

Delegating is not the same as assigning ownership. See Assign vs delegate. Everything is on the Delegations page.
