Posting a task

At Post, a category, a description, the address, a date and time, and the pay are entered.

A task has a single location, or is a pickup and drop-off, with something collected at one address and brought to another.

Several addresses or dates may be posted at once, and each posts as its own task, with everything but the category free to differ.

More than one member may be booked, in which case the pay is per member and each member is booked and paid separately.

Once a task is posted to the network, every member can see it on the Feed and apply. Members within 50 miles of the task, and members who have added an area covering it, are emailed when it posts; the email can be turned off under Notifications.

A task can also be posted to selected members instead of the network. Only the members selected can see it and apply, and it never appears on the Feed. Members whose areas cover the task are offered at posting, along with nearby members who joined to complete tasks, and the poster's team where one exists.

The full address is private until a member is booked. Until then the task shows its area, and the street address, the access details and any notes are held back.

A task at a property asks the posting member to confirm they are authorized to grant access to it, and records how access is given: a lockbox, an access code, a key handoff, or meeting in person. The method is recorded; the code itself is not.

Access is provided by a method the posting member is authorized to share. A credential issued to a person, such as an electronic keybox key, is not shared or borrowed.

Private instructions are entered beside the description and are visible only once a member is booked. A code, a gate, a parking spot, or a name to ask for belongs there rather than in the description, which every member can read until the task is booked.

The details can be edited until the first member applies or an invitation is sent; after that the task locks.
