How to Manage Tasks With the Kanban Board in OutreachBox

Use the OutreachBox Board to organize task cards, owners, and due dates so marketing work moves from planning through review to completion.

By OutreachBoxUpdated 3 min read

Quick answer: Open the Board (requires the BOARD_VIEW permission) to manage work on a visual kanban board. Create task cards, drag them between columns like To Do, In Progress, and Done, assign them to teammates, set due dates, and add labels — keeping your team's work visible and organized.

A kanban board with task cards moving across columns

The Board gives your team a shared, visual way to track work — from content production to outreach follow-ups — so nothing falls through the cracks.

Before you start

Agree on what each board column means and who owns each task. Use a separate review step when work needs approval.

Practical example

For a new article, create a card with an owner, due date, source brief, and publication checklist. Move it to Done after confirming the live page rather than when a draft is generated.

Check your result

If work stalls, check ownership and the next required action. Moving a card describes task progress; it does not necessarily run a campaign or publish content.

How to use the board

  1. Navigate to Board (requires BOARD_VIEW permission).
  2. Work with columns — To Do, In Progress, Done, plus any custom columns.
  3. Create task cards with a title, description, assignee, due date, and labels.
  4. Drag and drop cards between columns as work progresses.

What's on a task card

  • Title and description
  • Assignee
  • Due date
  • Labels
  • Comments

How it fits your workflow

Pair the Board with other features for end-to-end execution:

Best practices

  • Organize columns around your actual workflow stages.
  • Use labels consistently to categorize work.
  • Assign every card so ownership is clear.
  • Update card status regularly and archive completed work.
