Create a task
Create and publish a Quick Task for one or more users, with a title, optional description and due date.
MCP tool connecteam_write → create_task
write Confirm
Creates a single Quick Task like Add Task > Single Task > Publish Task. Connecteam requires a title and an assignee. With several assignees the task is done by them together as a team; set separate_tasks to create one task for each user instead. Assignees can read everything in the task, and it appears in their Quick Tasks. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
