Metatask is a powerful service with processes, reports, tasks, communications, and activity editor. It comes with many integration applications such as Slack and 1000+ apps using Zapier. The main flow works well and has no critical bugs. But I found some issues like glitch elements, validation errors, and non-clickable elements.
