Creating a Task

Creating a Task

Tasks are critical for calculating ROI. Without a task, an event is just a log entry with no associated time savings.

Steps

1. Navigate to Tasks in the left sidebar.
2. Click New task.
3. Fill in the details:
   • Name: Descriptive title (e.g., "Lead Enrichment").
   • Manual Time (min): How long this task takes a human to do manually (e.g., 5 minutes).
   • Automated Time (min): How long the automation takes (e.g., 0.1 minutes or 0).
4. Save the task.

The Task ID

Upon creation, your task will be assigned a unique UUID called the Task ID (e.g. 271a869c-316f-4568-9f1c-96fa01b297d8). Copy it with Copy task ID on the task page. The short tsk_ label is only a display tag, not the ID. You will use this ID in your automation payloads (e.g., in n8n or Zapier) to ensure Time Hive correctly attributes the time saved to this specific task. See Triggering a Task for examples.
