😎️Tips and Best Practises for Canceling Tasks
Canceling tasks can affect a lot of things from the Taskers trying to get accepted or apply to task last minute to your fill rate dropping. Remember these Taskers are looking forward to earning that income and losing out on a task may cause frustration on their end. Leaving tasks open or letting them expire without selecting a Tasker may affect how many Taskers want to apply in the future.
- If you find yourself canceling a lot of tasks last minute or if you need help learning how to gauge how often and how many tasks to post, reach out to your Field Operations liaison or contact Customer Support 📩️ to get you connected with someone.
- If you have to cancel a Tasker because of something internally, view your options to select the applicable reason the task was canceled. You can cancel the Tasker where they will or won’t receive a breach to their account.
- If you have to cancel the Tasker because the shipment didn't arrive or the carts aren't ready, and you want that Tasker to come back on a different day, cancel the task and then send them a private task for the correct day. This ensures a Tasker won’t work on a non-scheduled task.
