There are times when repeating a task based on a schedule will just not work. This is where action-based tasks come into play. These tasks generate automatically when a user makes a change in Shepherd’s Staff.
Examples of these actions include adding a visitor, marking someone as baptized, and changing an individual’s marital status.
