In preparation for their release, enjoy this sneak peek of the new face of actions!
With the new version of actions, you'll be able to track all sorts of additional details about tasks and interactions.

- Whether the action's of high or low priority
- The direction of an interaction — Inbound from the constituent, or Outbound to them
- Who to contact at an organization constituent

Say more about "outbound/inbound" purpose, please. I think this will confuse our gift officers at first blush. Thanks.0

Sure! By popular demand, the "direction" is a new feature that will enable you to indicate whether an interaction was driven by your organization or the constituent, to help track that context and appropriately drive the direction of follow-up conversations and relationship-building. For example:
- If a constituent reaches out to your organization or a fundraiser to initiate a discussion about a donation, volunteer opportunity, etc., you can save it as an "inbound" interaction.
- If your organization drives the interaction and kickstarts the conversation, you can track the action as "outbound."
In the database view, the direction of the action will appear as an attribute on the action's record (which is how several organizations already track that detail for their actions). Thanks!0
