A task is typically a logical subprocess. Consider a master data automation, where the vendor data creation comes in an email. The bot is expected to read the email, create an entry in SAP, upload the attachments, and send a response email back to the requestor. This overall process can be divided into the following subprocesses and each subprocess becomes a task in Jiffy:

1. Reading the email, validating contents, and sending response mail with request id and making the request available.
2. Updating SAP and changing the status of the request to Posted.
3. Uploading attachments and changing status of the request to Attachment Uploaded.
4. Sending a completion email with the document number generated and changing the status of the request to Closed.
