Create Missive Task

The Create Missive Task action creates either a standalone task or a subtask attached to a conversation.

Configuration

Field	Description
Missive Connection	Select the Missive connection to use.
Title	Enter the task title, up to 1,000 characters. Supports text expressions.
Description	Enter an optional description, up to 10,000 characters. Supports text expressions.
State	Choose To do, In progress, or Closed. Defaults to To do.
Organization	Select the organization. This is required when you select a team or add assignees. Supports text expressions.
Team	Select the team responsible for the task. Supports text expressions.
Assignees	Add one row per assignee. Select a user by name and email, or unlock the row to enter a user ID or text expression. The picker uses the selected organization.
Due Date (UTC)	Enter an explicit UTC ISO 8601 timestamp, such as 2026-11-05T17:00:00Z. Supports text expressions.
Parent Conversation ID	Enter a conversation ID to create a subtask. Leave blank for a standalone task. Supports text expressions.
Add Conversation to Inbox	For a subtask, add the parent conversation to the inbox. The action ignores this choice for standalone tasks and records that decision in history.
Error Handling	Choose what happens if validation or the Missive request fails.

A standalone task needs a team or at least one assignee. A subtask needs a Parent Conversation ID. The action does not retry a failed create request because Missive may have created the task before the connection failed.
