# Tasks

> Tasks are internal reminders and follow-ups, tracked alongside threads rather than on them.

Tasks are reminders or follow-ups that your team needs to action. Each task has a title, description, status, priority and can be assigned to a user or a machine user. Tasks can also be linked to a company or a tenant to give them context.

Tasks live alongside threads in the Plain app but are not threads themselves. They are a lighter-weight to-do, useful for things like "send onboarding follow-up next Friday" or "check in on this customer after their renewal".

Use the API when you want tasks to be created or updated as a side-effect of something happening in your own systems (for example, automatically creating a follow-up task when a deal closes in your CRM).
