# Task Manager

The Task Manager app defines tasks that send a POST request to an endpoint you choose. Users with the right permission run a task manually. Common uses are triggering a build on a deployment platform and calling a serverless function that syncs content between spaces through the [Management API](/docs/api/management).

## Features

-   Run a task manually, restricted by permission.
-   Send the request to any endpoint.
-   Describe what a task does.
-   Collect input before running a task through a custom dialog.

## Setup

1.  Install the app and open **Tasks**.
2.  Select **\+ Create Task**.
3.  Enter a task name and the webhook endpoint. Both are required. A description is optional.

## Custom dialogs

To collect input before the task runs, provide a JSON object describing the dialog fields. Fields are of type `text` or `option`. What the user enters arrives in the POST payload under the `dialog_values` property.
