Configuring a section action to move tasks to another board in Zoho Connect

Overview of Section Actions

Automate recurring steps for the tasks within the section of your board by configuring section actions. Users can apply a set of actions, like assigning tasks to specific members, setting the due date or priority level to the tasks added to a section. Once these are configured, it will be automatically applied to all new tasks added to this section. They can also choose to apply these settings to the existing tasks in the section.
Section actions can be configured only if you are subscribed to Zoho Connect's enterprise plan.
