Overview
Please note, this feature is only available for Professional and Custom plans.
You can create tasks in Apollo sequences for manual tasks like phone calls, follow-up emails, and action items. Each task reminds you of the manual steps you need to take once the parameters—a timeframe or engagement criterion—are met.
