Cooperation is the main reason we created Ping. Other apps do a decent job at managing your own tasks, but teamwork is where Ping shines. 🌟
Delegating tasks
Create a new task and use the Who button to set the Assignee.
After assigning a task:
The Assignee receives a notification (desktop or mobile)
The task awaits them in the New things tab
Once accepted, you'll know they’ve seen it and are on it 🤝 (It will show "Pending Acceptance" until then)
Find all your assigned tasks under the Assigned tab
Who's got the ball? Tracking task responsibility
Ever get that "You never replied to my email about this task" excuse? With Ping, Assignees can easily set a task status to Need help. 🚨
The Assignee sets a task status to Need help
You get notified in the New things tab
The task is labeled Need help at the Assignee’s end
Once you've offered guidance, it's easy to signal that this task is ready to do and clear your New things tab
This keeps everyone on the same page about who's court the ball is in. Transparency is key. 🗝
Pinging instead of commenting
Wondering what’s up with that task you assigned a week ago? Ping offers a neat feature.
Just hit the Ping button:
The Assignee receives a friendly, auto-generated nudge: 📣
Sending tasks for approval
Tasks don't just vanish in Ping. When completed by the Assignee, they move to their Completed tab, allowing them to tackle new tasks.
On your end, the task remains visible under Assigned tab and awaits your confirmation. Once approved, it moves to your Completed tab. 🎯
Reopening a task
Had to revisit a completed task? No worries. In Ping, go to the Completed tab or search for the task and uncheck it. The Assignee gets a notification, making it clear that the task needs more work. 🔄
Upcoming collaboration enhancements
Soon, Assignees will have an AI Assistant for basic task guidance. 🤖
Visual editor and task note formatting
