| Linked records      | `linked_records`      | List of records | Yes        | Iterable in a Loop block. Records whose object cannot be resolved to a slug are left out.                           |

## How it behaves

- Reads the task from Attio, then saves its completion status, workspace-member assignees, deadline and plain-text content. The task change triggers compare later changes with these values, and Task deleted reports them.
- Starts at most one run per task each time the workflow is turned on.

## Errors

Triggers have no error branch. When something goes wrong inside a trigger, no run starts. See [Troubleshooting](https://neondeerdata.com/docs/platform/automations/troubleshooting/).
