Tasks

Access from: Processes → Tasks

Task management system that centralizes recommended actions on your products, campaigns, and other Amazon resources. Tasks can be created manually, generated from AI Chat, produced automatically by Workflows, or by the system itself.

Key concepts

Task

A container that groups one or more suggestions (items) about entities in your account. Each task has:

FieldDescription
TitleDescriptive name for the task
StatusPending, Resolved, or Discarded
PriorityHigh, Medium, or Low
Assigned toUser responsible for reviewing it
OriginWho created it: user, AI Chat, workflow, or system
Expiration dateOptional — deadline for review

Task Items (suggestions)

Each task contains one or more items: specific suggestions about a particular entity. An item includes:

  • Affected entity: product, campaign, ad group, target, search term, or product ad
  • Detected problem (problemLabel): brief problem description (e.g., "Title too short", "Low budget")
  • Severity: error, warning, or info
  • Current value and suggested value: side-by-side comparison of what exists and what is recommended
  • Individual status: Pending, Approved, or Rejected

Edit before approving

When approving an item, you can modify the suggested value before applying it. You're not required to accept the suggestion as-is.

Lifecycle

1. Creation

The task is created with Pending status and can include items from the start or accumulate them progressively (for example, when a workflow adds items on each execution).

2. Review

From the detail side panel you can:

  • Approve or reject items one by one
  • Bulk resolve: approve or reject all pending items at once
  • Edit the suggested value before approving
  • Add items manually by searching products by connection and country
  • Comment on the task to coordinate with your team

3. Application

Approved items that have an associated technical field (fieldPath) can be applied to the original entity. Clicking "Apply" queues a bulk change that updates the product or campaign in the background.

Items without a technical field

Some items are free-form suggestions (without fieldPath). These are marked as "manual application needed" — you'll need to make the change yourself in Amazon or in the corresponding Epinium section.

4. Auto-resolution

When all items in a task are resolved (approved or rejected), the task resolves automatically.

Human-in-the-Loop (HITL)

Tasks created by workflows can be marked as blocking (HITL). This means items in the task must be reviewed by a human before being applied to your products or campaigns — the workflow runs to completion, but no changes reach your data until you approve the items. Useful for flows that require human oversight before applying automatic changes.

The tasks view allows filtering by:

  • Status: pending, resolved, discarded
  • Priority: high, medium, low
  • Origin: user, AI Chat, workflow, system
  • Created by: specific user or workflow
  • Search by title

Within a task, items can be filtered by entity type (products, campaigns…) and by status (pending, approved, rejected).

Catalog integration

From a task to the catalog

From a task's detail panel, you can navigate directly to the affected products in the catalog. Clicking on a product within the items opens its detail page in the catalog where you can see the full product context.

Filter products by task

In the Catalog → Products view, there is a Task filter that shows only products associated with a specific task. When this filter is active:

  • A selector appears where you can search and choose the task
  • The product table filters to show only products that have items in that task
  • An informational message indicates you're viewing products filtered by task, with a button to remove the filter

This is especially useful for reviewing at a glance all products affected by a workflow or AI task, and being able to edit or publish their changes from the catalog.

Product detail

In any product's detail view, you'll see a Tasks section showing:

  • Linked tasks with pending items for that product
  • AI-specific recommendations for the product
  • Ability to approve or reject items directly from the product detail

Workflow: reviewing tasks from a workflow

  1. Go to Processes → Tasks
  2. Filter by origin Workflow
  3. Open a pending task
  4. Review each item: compare the current value with the suggested one
  5. Approve (editing if needed) or reject each item
  6. Click Apply so the approved changes are executed
  7. The task resolves automatically when no pending items remain

Tasks and Workflows

Workflows can automatically create tasks using the "Create Task" node. This allows, for example, a workflow to analyze all your products every week and generate a task with suggested optimizations for you to review before applying them.
