We’ve been writing about Magic Columns consistently this year. And with good reason! Magic Columns are the key to getting more information from Streak without any extra effort on your part. The server team here at Streak has been hard at work gathering new information about your Tasks so that you can easier find the box that needs your attention next.

Our expanded list of Magic Columns for tasks now includes both ‘Overdue Task Assignees’ and ‘Incomplete Task Assignees’:

These new Magic Columns will immediately help answer the question: What lead, applicant, support ticket, or dealflow box should I work on next? (We’ll keep working to make Tasks easier to use — stay tuned!)

3 Ideas for Making Use of New Magic Columns for Tasks

  1. A Saved View can be used to show you all boxes that contain a task due within a selected time range that is not yet marked as complete
  2. Add ‘Show in Inbox’ to your Saved View and we’ll pin the boxes that need immediate work (incomplete tasks due today, for example) to the top of your inbox!
  3. Use our new Zapier integration to trigger a zap to run when a task goes overdue! Send a slack message, change the boxes stage, send a text message — and more! (Alternate Zapier reference: video)
