Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided herein for facilitating task assignments and communications. A task defining interface is provided on a user device associated with a task team member. Tasks are defined with a task request comprising a task identifier associated with a target location, a task instruction identifier comprising a first symbol followed by a task instruction, and a plurality of task team member identifiers each comprising a second symbol followed by a user handle, wherein the task instruction specifies one or more characteristics of the first task to be performed at the target location. The system is further configured to display tasks associated with a user account based on task team member identifiers and automatically communicate, via the task view interface, each of the one or more task instruction identifiers associated with the task record to each task team member associated with the task record.
