Which files you can attach to a Task

You can attach images (JPG, PNG and HEIC), PDFs, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, text and CSV files, MP4 and MOV videos, MP3 audio files, and emails saved as EML or MSG files.

Each file can be up to 25 MB in Vatix Workspace and up to 10 MB in the Vatix app.

Who gets notified

Adding a comment notifies anyone you mention in it. Type @ and choose their name from the list.

Being assigned the Task doesn't notify you about new comments. If you need the assignee to see a comment, mention them in it.

Each person chooses how they receive these in Settings > Personal > Notifications > Actions, under 'Mentioned in task comment'. It's on by default for both email and the Inbox.
