TASKS - Contact Tasks: Viewing Document Types

When working with Contact tasks, you can now see which document types will be sent and which are required — directly on the task detail page. This helps you verify your configuration and ensure all required documents are in place.

Description

Contact Task

A task that sends a communication (email, EDI, etc.) to a configured contact

Document Type

A category of document in Qargo (e.g. CMR, Invoice, POD, Trip Sheet)

Attached documents

Documents configured to be sent alongside the email in the task settings

Required (*)

The document type is flagged as required in the task configuration

Before You Start

To see document types on a Contact task, the task must have Attached documents configured in its workflow settings. If no documents are configured, nothing will appear in the task row.

To check or configure this, go to Configuration → Tasks, select the relevant workflow, and open the Contact task. Under Documents → Attached documents, add the document types that should be sent with the email. Under Conditions → Required documents, mark any that must be present before the task can be executed.

See TASKS - Add Workflow Tasks for more on setting up Contact tasks.

What You'll See

On any detail page where a pending Contact task is shown (such as an order, invoice, or customer page), the task row displays an Attachments label followed by the configured document types:

  • Document types without a marker — will be included in the email if the document is available.

  • Document types marked with (*) — are flagged as required in the task configuration. These should be present before the task is executed.

How to View Document Types on a Contact Task

  1. Open an entity where the Contact task applies — for example, an active order or an invoice in the correct workflow stage.

  2. In the Order documents and tasks section (or equivalent on the entity), locate the pending Contact task.

  3. Read the Attachments label directly on the task row — the document types are shown inline, with (*) marking any that are required.

Example: The Send invoice task configured with POD/CMR as an attached and required document will show Attachments: POD/CMR (*) directly in the task row — confirming that POD/CMR will be sent alongside the invoice and is required before sending.

Why This Matters

Contact tasks often trigger automated document sends — such as sending an invoice with a POD or CMR attached. Previously, you had to open each invoice individually to check whether the POD was included in the send. This update makes it easy to see the full document configuration at a glance, directly from the task row, before executing the task.
