# Tasks for a guest

> Ask a guest for something. Temperate collects the answer and reminds them.

Give a guest a task, and they answer it in a chat. Temperate tells them what's still missing, and gives the task back to you when everything is in.

## Give a guest a task

**1. Start**

On **Tasks**, select **New task**.

**2. Say what you need**

Fill in **Title**, such as "Send the September bank statements", and a **Goal**: "The statements of all three accounts are in."

**3. Choose who answers**

Under **Owner**, choose a guest. Optionally, make it repeat.

The guest gets a notice in the app and by email.

## The chat

![The chat of a task: the question, the answer of the guest with a file, and the answer of Temperate](https://mintcdn.com/temperate/fiKOImnzsBaUE79z/images/guest-task-chat.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=fiKOImnzsBaUE79z\&q=85\&s=f291a45111093c1cb4867ce59869d144)

The guest writes and adds files, and Temperate answers them. Your organization can read this chat. If you write there, Temperate doesn't reply unless you type **@Temperate**.

## Reminders

If a guest stays silent for 3 days, Temperate reminds them, up to 3 times, and then tells you. To remind them now, open the task and select **Remind now**.

## Ask more people

On the task, select **Ask a guest** to add someone. A guest can also add a colleague.

## Check and close

When the guest has answered, the task shows **For you to check**. Check it and move it to **Done**.

To let an agent act on what a guest sends, see [Triggers](https://docs.temperate.works/work/triggers.md).
