Tasks

Version badge

Tasks let you monitor when specific events occur within your Flow.

To track these specific events within a Flow, use a Complete Task Node.

Once the Node is triggered, the task is recorded in the Analytics database and can be monitored in the Contact Profile, viewed in Insights reports and explorers, and accessed through the OData Endpoint for further analysis.

For more information, read the Complete Task Node article.

profile.goals: your Compatibility Alias to profile.tasks

In the Profile object, profile.goals has been renamed to profile.tasks. To ensure your existing code still works in Flows, profile.goals now functions as a compatibility alias that points to profile.tasks. This means you can still use profile.goals, it's value will be stored in the profile.tasks object. Accessing profile.goals will provide the value from profile.tasks in places like:

  • CognigyScript expressions {{profile.goals}} or {{cp.goals}}.
  • Code Nodes, Extensions, Functions.

The profile.goals alias is available for existing implementations to maintain continuity. However, for new Flows, use the new profile.tasks naming convension in your CognigyScript expressions and code. This approach ensures that your Flows comply with the latest platform standards and best practices.

Restrictions of the Alias

This compatibility alias for profile.goals isn't a standard property of the Profile object. This alias limits how you can use or inspect it:

  • Property Listing – profile.goals won't appear when you list the object's properties, for example, using Object.keys(profile).
  • JSON Serialization – profile.goals won't be included when you turn the Profile object into JSON, for example, JSON.stringify(profile).
