Make a task option

There is an 'optional' feature that can be selected for any given task. Selecting this feature will make the task optional, thus providing the user with the flexibility to skip this task and yet remain eligible for the rewards associated with the quest. This is a particularly useful feature when dealing with tasks that are more challenging or time-consuming, as it encourages a larger number of people to initiate and attempt to complete the quest. By making these more difficult tasks optional, we make the quest more accessible and thereby increase participation rates, without compromising the overall objective of the quest. ### Educational Slides:

Educational Slides

The feature of adding educational slides can significantly enhance user understanding and engagement. These slides can be like a step-by-step guide, simplifying complex tasks. If users struggle with a particular task, these slides can break it down into manageable parts, ensuring no user is left behind. We've also seen individuals create detailed slides about their projects, followed by engaging users with questions related to the presented material. This method can effectively communicate your project's value and pique user interest. You can use this feature any way that you want to. ### Recurring Task:

Recurring Tasks

You can set certain tasks to recur. However, keep in mind that not all tasks can be repetitive. For instance, you can request a user to visit a website daily, but you can't ask them to follow the same Twitter handle every day. Some actions can only be performed once. Technically, they can be repeated, but doing so doesn't make a difference. You can set the recurrence frequency, allowing the user to execute the task daily, weekly, or monthly, depending on your selection. ### Max Limit

Max Limit

This task feature is also not available for all tasks. What it does is allow you to set a maximum number of attempts a user can make to complete a task. Each incorrect attempt reduces the amount of XPs they will receive. Therefore, ensure that the XPs allocated for a task are divisible by the maximum limit, as we only distribute whole XPs. Note that a task cannot be both recurring and have a maximum limit for obvious reasons. Trying to click them both will cause an apocalyse 🧟. Please DO NOT TRY TO DO THAT, positively. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
