Have you ever wondered how the timing of a task invitation affects how quickly you have to respond to a client or how soon a task can actually start?
While you have the flexibility to set your tasking availability based on your personal calendar, we want to accommodate as many scheduling situations as possible. As a result, our platform has certain time parameters that both Taskers and clients must adhere to.
To give clients a positive experience, Taskers should respond to task invitations within specific time frames. The soonest time you can actually start tasking after accepting a client invitation depends on the following two things: when exactly the invitation comes in and whether it’s for a Same Day task or a Non-Same Day task. If you do not chat and accept a task by the deadline, the task will automatically be forfeited.
There are two graphics below:
- The first shows the default timeline to chat and confirm a task.
- The second shows the deadline to confirm for specific metros in the TV and General Mounting categories.
