Workflow Tasks
Workflow Tasks are among the actions associated with a workflow rule. A task is nothing but an activity that is assigned to a user. When you associate a workflow task to a workflow rule, it is automatically assigned to the chosen user when the rule is triggered for records meeting the criteria specified in the rule.

- If you select a workflow task while importing records (such as Jobs, Temps, Contacts), Notify Assignee option (though selected for the particular workflow task) will not be applicable.
