Flags and Follow up on Tasks Assigned

Use Case

You're in the middle of a major project, and messages are flying in from every direction. Your manager sends a critical task, but it’s quickly buried under a dozen other notifications. You make a mental note to get back to it, but the day gets away from you, and the task is forgotten until it's too late. This communication chaos leads to missed deadlines, frustrated teams, and the constant anxiety that you've dropped the ball.

With Tanka's Flags and Follow-Ups, you can transform that chaos into clarity. When that critical task arrives, you can instantly flag it with high priority and set a reminder for later in the day. Your AI Assistant will then proactively notify you, ensuring the task is top-of-mind when you're ready to tackle it. This turns your message feed from a source of stress into a structured, actionable workflow, guaranteeing that nothing important is ever missed again.

How to Use

1. Hover over any message you want to track and click one of the four Flag icons (Critical, High, Medium, Low). 

2. Go to the "Follow-ups" section and check the flagged message saved by you. You can also view those Follow-ups by critical level.  

3. Click the Clock icon to set a reminder (Click on the “...” icon if you are using a computer, or swipe left if you are on your phone). Choose a preset time (e.g., in 1 hour, tomorrow morning) or a custom date and time.

4. Your AI Assistant will automatically send you a notification at the scheduled time, reminding you to follow up on the message.

Tips

• This feature is perfect for anyone who manages multiple conversations and needs to track action items assigned directly within messages.

• Use the priority flags to create a dynamic to-do list for your day. Start with "Critical" priority items in the morning and move to lower-priority ones in the afternoon.

• To receive push notifications for your follow-ups, ensure your AI Assistant is enabled and notifications are turned on.
