# Task Group Creation

A task group is the container your tasks live in. Each group is tied to exactly one site, and it holds the monitor settings, the group-level toggles, and the tasks themselves. To run multiple sites, or multiple products on a site like Walmart, you create multiple groups.

## Create a task group

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Open the Tasks tab

Go to the Tasks tab in the left sidebar. If you have no groups yet, click **+ Create Group**. Otherwise click the **+** button next to the group search.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Name it and pick the site

Give the group a clear name, like "Walmart Pokemon" or "Target Wednesday," and select the site from the **Group Site** dropdown. One site per group.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Create it

Click **Create Task Group**. You are taken straight into the new group.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Finding your way around

* After creating a group, you are already inside it.
* Click **View all groups** in the top left of the settings panel to go back to the group list.
* To get back into a group, double-click it. That opens the group with its settings panel on the left. If you ever "lose" the monitor settings, this is why: you are looking at the group list, not inside a group.

## The settings panel

The left panel holds everything about the group, and it is taller than one screen. Scroll the panel to see all of it: the monitor settings up top, then the site-specific toggles, statistics, schedule, and highlight color at the bottom.

The top part is the same on every site:

* **Group Info:** the group's name and site.
* **Monitor:** the monitor input, monitor proxy list, and monitor delay (default `4500`), plus **Offer ID** on sites that support it. What goes in the monitor input depends on the site; see the monitor guide below for every site's format.

[Monitor Setup & Multi Input](/general-setup/task-creation/monitor-setup-and-multi-input.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Below the monitor, the settings vary site to site.** Walmart shows queue-related toggles like Skip Monitoring (OfferID Required). Amazon US adds Allow Used Products, Notify when Offer ID Found, and Max Checkout Errors. Other sites show less. The same is true of task creation fields. Always check your site's module guide for what its specific settings do.
{% endhint %}

[Walmart](/modules/walmart.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

## Statistics

The **Statistics** section counts your tasks by state: Running, Carted, In Queue, Passed, Success, and Failed. Clicking them also filters the task list.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Tasks look like they disappeared?** A statistics filter is probably on. Tasks are almost never randomly deleted; the view is just filtered.
{% endhint %}

## Schedule

You can schedule the group's tasks to start themselves. Click **Configure** next to Schedule:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Decide on auto start

Tick **Auto start on app launch** if you want this group's tasks to start as soon as you open the bot.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Choose your days

Select days of the week to repeat weekly on those days. With no days selected, the schedule runs once at the next occurrence.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Add time slots

Click **+ Add Slot** and set the start and stop times. All times are your device's local time. Click **Save**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Group Highlight Color

Pick a **Group Highlight Color** at the bottom of the panel to color-code the group in your group list. Purely cosmetic, useful when you run many groups.

## 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/task-group-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.
