To create a task from a message:
- Hover over the area to the right of the message until you see the icons, and then hover over the Action icon and click Remind.

- Enter an Action name. For example, in the action above, the Action name could be Draft contracts for Martinez account.
- Make any changes to the Action description and change the members assigned to the action where necessary.
- Add a value for Due Date to have reminders sent to the assigned members xxxx when xxxxx
- Click Create action.
The action appears in the right panel under actions:
