# Task Creation

Getting tasks running is three steps, in this order:

1. **Create a task group** for your site. The group holds the monitor and all group-level settings.
2. **Set up the monitor** with the product input for that site.
3. **Create tasks** inside the group with your profiles, accounts, and proxy lists.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Task creation fields vary site to site.** The basics carry over everywhere (profiles, proxy lists, accounts, delays, task quantity), but each site adds its own settings, like Use Saved Session on Walmart or Hype Product on Target. Set up the basics here, then always check your site's module guide before a drop.
{% endhint %}

## How Item Quantity works

**Item Quantity is a ceiling, not an exact number.** The task goes for as many units as it can get, up to the number you set. If you set 5 and the site only allows 2, the task checks out 2 rather than failing.

That means you can safely set it high. The task auto-adjusts down to the maximum it can actually get, so there is no need to guess the site's limit per product.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Walmart is the exception.** On Walmart this behaviour is not automatic: you need **Allow Lower Item Quantity** turned ON for the task to accept a smaller quantity. With it OFF, a task that cannot get your full quantity fails instead of taking what is available. See the [Walmart setup guide](/modules/walmart/walmart-setup-guide.md#task-creation).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.refractbot.com/general-setup/task-creation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
