Personas with Tasks

Personas are available as both a trigger or filter when creating tasks. When a lead is assigned to a persona, that itself can trigger a task to fire. Also, persona membership can be included as a filter in an task so that only leads that are assigned to that persona will fire that task.

  1. In SharpSpring's top toolbar, click Automation > Tasks.
  2. Create a new task, or edit an existing one.
  3. In the list, scroll to the Triggers and Filters section.
