# tasks.list

Tasks you can see, filtered by worker, job, status (open by default; done, cancelled or all) and due (overdue, today in shop time, or all). Overdue first, then by due time. A field worker sees their own tasks, tasks they made and tasks on jobs they are booked on.

## When to use it

Lead rules (requests.setLeadSettings, owner or office) decide what happens to a new request. With auto_reply on, Doing Work sends one first reply within a minute: a text only where the customer already agreed to texts or texted the shop, and the shop's own number is approved for business texting; otherwise an email; otherwise nothing.

## What to tell the owner

Tell them what you found in plain words. Don't read back raw fields.

## Input

| Field | Type | Required |
|---|---|---|
| `shop_id` | string (uuid) | yes |
| `assignee_id` | string (uuid) | no |
| `job_id` | string (uuid) | no |
| `status` | string (one of open, done, cancelled, all) | no |
| `due` | string (one of overdue, today, all) | no |
| `limit` | integer | no |
