Task overview

​

What is a task?

A task is a suggested change or bug fix that Lancey generates based on incoming issues or manual input. Each task includes:

• Context: The source of the issue (GitHub, Zendesk, Intercom, etc.)
• Proposed plan: How Lancey suggests solving the problem
• Next actions: Approve, edit, or dismiss the task

​

How tasks are created

​

1. From GitHub issues

• When a new issue is opened in your connected GitHub repository, Lancey automatically analyzes it.
• If the issue is deemed to be a bug or feature improvement, a task will be created and linked back to the original GitHub issue.

​

2. From customer support tickets

• Lancey integrates with Zendesk, Intercom, and other platforms.
• High‑impact customer tickets are converted into tasks with relevant context for Lancey to work on.

​

3. Manually created by users

• Go to the Tasks tab in your dashboard.
• Give a prompt in the chat input box
• Lancey will plan out a resolution path, including any code changes required.

​

Best Practices

• Prioritize: Focus on tasks tied to critical bugs or customer impact first.
• Collaborate: Tag team members on tasks to review solutions.
• Stay aligned: Use Slack notifications to keep your team in the loop.
