Kuika's Get User Tasks action allows you to list the tasks assigned to a user. In applications with workflow, tasks are created according to a specific workflow and assigned to the relevant users. For example, in a software development team, the project manager assigns specific tasks to each team member. These tasks are assigned to users and tracked according to the steps created within the workflow processes. With the Get User Tasks action, each team member can see the list of tasks assigned to them. In this tutorial, you will learn how to list the tasks you have assigned to your applications using the Get User Tasks action.

In order to use the Get User Tasks action, your application must have a workflow created with the Process Automation module.
