Source: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/aroflo/create_task

Docs sections: [Get started](https://cotlet.dev/docs.md) · [REST API](https://cotlet.dev/docs/api.md) · [MCP](https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp.md) · [SDKs & CLI](https://cotlet.dev/docs/sdks.md) · [Integrations](https://cotlet.dev/docs/integrations.md)

Create a task for a client in AroFlo.

AroFlo MCP tools: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/aroflo.md

MCP tool: `aroflo_write → create_task`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Creates the task as Not Started and returns its task_id and job number. Assign To makes a person responsible for the task but does not book them; use schedule_task for the person who does the work. A task type or priority your site does not have fails with an error that lists the valid ones. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `client_id` | string | yes | Client ID from list_clients. |
| `task_name` | string | yes | Name of the task. |
| `task_type` | string | yes | A Task Type that exists on your site. |
| `description` | string | no | What needs doing. |
| `priority` | string | no | A Priority that exists on your site. |
| `due_date` | string | no | Due date, YYYY-MM-DD. |
| `location` | string | no | A location of the client from list_clients. |
| `assign_to` | string | no | Name of the user the task is assigned to. |
| `reported_by` | string | no | Contact who reported the job. |
