Automate key activities.

Sage ACT! Smart Tasks handle the things you need to get done every day. Think of it like a personal assistant that sends e-mails for you and puts activities on your calendar so your customers get the service they expect, with little work required by you. Smart Tasks just get it done.

Watch Smart Task Demo

Get started with one of 10+ pre-loaded Smart Tasks and accompanying email marketing templates for the most common activities. These Smart Tasks will set in motion the most basic or advanced processes that allow Sage ACT! to take care of things like reach out to customers that haven't heard from you in a while or notify you of any sales opportunities that have been stalled. Smart Tasks will even contact customers that are missing key info from their contact records with a survey that automatically plugs that info back into Sage ACT!. And, best of all, you have total control over the timing, contact lists, and opportunities for each Smart Task.

Apply Smart Tasks right out-of-the-box or make changes to fit your needs. Because Smart Tasks are built on a powerful workflow engine, you can fully customize them with different actions using one of the easier visual designers on the market. Set up Smart Task guidelines for your entire team so your company's best practices are followed.

Sage ACT! will help you cut back on meeting conflicts with rules that handle them automatically. And, you can choose which activity types in Sage ACT! sync back to Outlook so that your Outlook calendar remains free of your Sage ACT! to-dos.
