Creating a task with attachments, with a link to crm, with a parent task and a check list for self-hosted Bitrix24

This activity allows to create tasks with a link to CRM entity, with possibility of a subtask and a checklist for the Business Process Designer.

Attention This activity developed for the Business Process Designer, without module «Business-Processes» doesn’t work.

Previously, for each specific additional opportunity of creating tasks from the Business Process Designer — a link to CRM, a task with attachments, a task with a check list — different activities were used.

Now we have created a new activity, which includes all these possibilities.

This complex activity extends the standard mechanism for creating a task from the Business Process Designer, eliminating unnecessary actions for editing the created task after the completion of the business process.

After installation of this activity, a new option in the Business Process Designer will appear «Interactive Settings — Task (mcart)». Add it to the business process chain and fill in the parameters window.

For example, let’s create a business-process template for a company.

  • CRM entity ID — if the created task will be related to any CRM entity, specify here its ID. Here the fundamental difference from the standard mechanism is that the entity of CRM can be dynamically transferred through the parameter (variable) of the business process. In this case, you have to specify the entity type in the activity parameters using the prefix: D_ - deal, L_ - lead, C - contact, CO_ - company. For example, D_4 - lead with ID 4.
