What is the difference between a vendor task and a client task?

Vendor task: something your team does — for example "Set up SSO configuration" or "Configure the API integration". The client does not see this task in their inbox.

Client task: something the customer must do — for example "Upload your data export" or "Invite your team members". The client receives an email with a one-click Complete button.

Sending Tasks to Clients

How the email-first task delivery works.

How do I send a task to a client?
1
Add a client task to the plan (assigned to "Client")
2
Make sure the plan has at least one contact with an email address in the Contacts tab
3
On the task card, click Send task email
4
The client receives an email immediately with a one-click "Mark Complete" button

💡 Tip: You can send tasks one at a time or send multiple tasks at once. Each task sends as a separate email.

Do clients need to create an account to complete tasks?

No. This is Lyniro's core feature. Your clients never need to log in.

They receive a single email with a button. One click marks the task complete. No login. No password. No account creation. The link contains a secure one-time token that expires after 7 days.

Still stuck? Email us at help@lyniro.com — we respond within 24 hours.

What happens when a client clicks "Mark Complete"?
  1. The task status changes to Completed immediately
  2. You (the CSM) receive an email notification
  3. If you have Slack connected, a Slack message is sent to your team channel
  4. The plan's activity log records the completion with a timestamp
  5. The plan progress percentage and health score update automatically

What happens when a client clicks "Report Blocked"?
  1. A text box appears asking the client to describe why they are blocked
  2. The client submits their reason
  3. The task status changes to Blocked
  4. You receive a notification email with their reason
  5. The task appears in the Blocked column on your Dashboard
  6. If still blocked after 48 hours, your escalation email (if set) is also notified

Still stuck? Email us at help@lyniro.com — we respond within 24 hours.

What if the task link expires?

Task links expire after 7 days. If a client tries to click an expired link, they see an "invalid or expired" message.

To fix: open the plan, find the task, and click Send task email again. A new email is sent with a fresh 7-day link.

Tracking and Managing Tasks

Monitor what is happening across all tasks.

How do I mark a vendor task as complete?
1
Open the plan → Tasks tab
2
Find the vendor task you completed
3
Click the status icon on the task card to mark it complete

After marking complete, an action bar appears at the bottom of the screen for 6 seconds: "[Task name] marked complete — Notify client? [Send notification] [Dismiss]"

Click Send notification to email the client an update. Click Dismiss to keep it internal. If you ignore it, the bar disappears after 6 seconds and no email is sent.

How do task reminders work?

If a client has not completed a task after 3 days, Lyniro automatically sends them a friendly reminder email using the same one-click link from the original task email.

Reminders stop after 3 attempts. You can:

  • Turn off automatic reminders for a specific plan in the plan settings gear icon
  • Snooze a task from the Dashboard "Gone Quiet" column (hides it for 3 days without sending an email)
  • Manually send a nudge by clicking Send nudge in the "Gone Quiet" column

Still stuck? Email us at help@lyniro.com — we respond within 24 hours.

What are task dependencies?

A task dependency means one task cannot be started until another is complete. For example: "Integrate your data" cannot begin until "Provide API credentials" is done.

1
Edit any task
2
In the Depends on field, select another task from this plan
3
Save — the task will show as "locked" until the parent task is completed

Locked tasks are greyed out and the "Send task email" button is hidden. The task automatically unlocks when the parent task is completed.

How do I log time spent on a task?
1
Find a vendor task in the Tasks tab
2
Click the clock icon on the task card
3
Enter the time spent — type minutes (e.g. "45") or hours and minutes (e.g. "1h 30m")
4
Optionally add a note about what you worked on
5
Click Log

The total time logged shows on the task card. Time tracking data is summarised in the Analytics page under Time Tracking.

How do recurring tasks work?

Recurring tasks repeat on a schedule — daily, weekly, every 2 weeks, or monthly. They are configured in Templates when you set up a task.

When a plan is created from a template with recurring tasks, Lyniro creates all future instances automatically — for example, 8 weekly check-in tasks for the next 8 weeks.

Each instance is a separate task card. When one is completed, the next one is already waiting.

The Blocked and Gone Quiet Columns

Using your Dashboard morning briefing.

What is the "Blocked" column on my Dashboard?

The Blocked column shows every task across all your plans that a client has reported as blocked. They are sorted by how long they have been blocked — longest first.

Each row shows: customer name, task title, blocked reason, and how many days it has been blocked. Click the customer name to go directly to that plan.

What is the "Gone Quiet" column?

Gone Quiet shows client tasks that were sent more than 3 days ago with no response — the client has not completed the task or reported being blocked.

For each task you have two options:

  • Send nudge — sends a reminder email to the client immediately (one click, no confirmation needed)
  • Snooze 3 days — hides the task from Gone Quiet for 3 days without sending any email

How do I manually flag a client as "gone quiet"?
1
Open the plan in PlanDetail
2
Find the client task in the Tasks tab
3
Click the dropdown menu on the task card (three dots icon)
4
Click "Mark as gone quiet"

The task appears in the Gone Quiet column on your Dashboard immediately, even if it is less than 3 days old. This is useful when a client has stopped responding to your calls and emails.
