What are good reasons to create a Manual Task in Copado?

Creating a Manual Task in Copado is particularly beneficial for the purpose of reminding a user to perform a specific action, such as sending a Release Notification. Manual Tasks are designed to involve human intervention or actions that cannot be automated through Copado's deployment processes. In this case, the need to alert a user about a notification is a clear instance where a task requires personal attention and cannot be handled automatically within the CI/CD pipeline.

This aligns with the function of Manual Tasks, which is to capture any steps that need to be taken that are important for the release process but may involve coordination or communication outside of the automated tools. By establishing such a task, teams can ensure that critical steps do not get overlooked, thereby improving the reliability of the deployment process.

In comparison, the other options involve actions that can either be automated or are part of standard procedures outside the scope of what a Manual Task is typically used for. For instance, configuring FLS in a Profile and setting OAuth Authentication are both actions that can be completed programmatically and do not require manual intervention. Automating the deployment process completely would also negate the necessity for Manual Tasks, which are specifically for situations where human factors come into play.
