Best Practices

For Knowledge Sync

1. Be selective: Only sync relevant spaces/lists
2. Use descriptions: Well-documented tasks = better AI answers
3. Consistent naming: Clear task names help AI understand context
4. Regular sync: Keep data fresh for accurate responses

For SmartFlow Actions

1. Test in staging: Test task creation in a test list first
2. Handle errors: Add error handling for failed API calls
3. Use templates: Create reusable task templates
4. Log actions: Track automated task creations for auditing
