Hi Matthew,

  1. When an email is sent when completing a task (task outcome). Is it possible to have the email template open (to allow it to be edited) rather than send immediately?
  2. Under 'Classic tasks' I'm able to search by 'Case / Thread Template' which I find very useful. How can I do this using the new 'Tasks' hub.

Hey timothy.lehnis

  1. This is a great use of the automation and to answer your question - yes you can.  when setting up the outcome and selecting to send email or sms from a template you have an option labelled 'prompt to edit', if you set this to yes, you will get the email loaded up in the Xplan email editor and can review/update before sending (managed to include a pic below).

  2. Unfortunately that filter is not there yet.  Tasks has a number of filters and we started by introducing the most used and requested one but we are getting more feedback for this filter and are looking to see when we might be able to bring this one over into the new experience.
