The problem

An overdue task list so long it means nothing

Overdue tasks pile up in Salesforce until the list is meaningless. Clearing it means opening each task, picking a date that does not overload one day and closing tasks on deals already won or lost, which nobody has time to do.

Without PopdockAI

  • Open each overdue task one at a time
  • Pick new dates without seeing the whole week
  • Carry forward tasks on deals that already closed
  • End up with the same pile next week

With PopdockAI

  • Overdue tasks are spread over weekdays in priority order
  • Each day stays within your daily limit
  • Tasks on closed deals are suggested to close
  • Only due dates or completed status change, after you confirm

The prompt

Prompt
**Objective:** Clear the overdue task backlog for `{user-name}` by giving each overdue task a realistic new due date, spread from `{start-date}` (default: tomorrow) at no more than `{per-day}` tasks per day (default 5).

**Step 1: Resolve the user and their overdue tasks**

Call `salesforce-get-user` with `name` set to `{user-name}`; require exactly one match. Then call `salesforce-get-task` with `assigned-to-id` set to the user-id, `closed` false and `due-date.to` yesterday.

**Step 2: Propose a plan**

For each task: keep the order by priority (High first) then original due date, and assign new due dates from `{start-date}` on weekdays, at most `{per-day}` per day. Mark as "suggest close" any task whose related opportunity is already closed (check with `salesforce-get-opportunity` by `opportunity-id` when related-to-id is an opportunity).

Show the plan as a table: subject, related to, old due date, new due date or "close".

**Step 3: Confirm and apply**

Show the exact values you will send and wait for the user to confirm before any write. If they change anything, show the revised values and confirm again. The user may accept all, reject all or edit individual rows. For each accepted row call `salesforce-update-task` with `id` and only `due-date`, or only `status` set to Completed for accepted "close" rows.

**Step 4: Report**

A table of what changed, and any update that failed with its error.

**Rules & Guidelines:**

* `salesforce-update-task` is the only write tool this prompt may call, once per accepted task.
* Do not change subject, priority, comments, assignee or related records.

**Validation:**

* If the user has no overdue tasks, say so and stop.
