FlipperForce's Public API now includes Tasks. You can create, update, delete, and complete tasks and subtasks from an outside system without logging into the web app.
Until now, the Task Manager could only be updated by hand inside FlipperForce. If your to-do list started somewhere else, like a walkthrough, an estimate, or a text from your crew, someone had to retype it into the Task Manager. That double entry is where tasks get missed.
The Tasks API helps teams automate the tedious parts of task management. Connect an AI agent like Claude or Grok to FlipperForce and it can build task lists, assign tasks, and report on what’s done and what’s still open. Your team spends less time keeping the Task Manager up to date and more time running projects.
What's New
  • Create, update, and delete tasks in any project through the API
  • Create, update, and delete subtasks
  • Edit task names, descriptions, and notes
  • Assign tasks to users on your FlipperForce account
  • Set and change due dates
  • Connect AI agents like Claude and Grok to manage tasks by conversation
How You Could Use This
How You Could Use This
  • Build a punch list during a walkthrough
    - Walk the property and tell Claude what you see. "Patch drywall in the hall bath, replace the kitchen cabinet hinges, touch up trim in bedroom 2." Claude creates each item as a task in that project's Task Manager. Try the prompt
  • Turn your scope of work into a task list
    - Upload your estimate report or scope of work spreadsheet to Claude and ask it to create a task for each line item, with subtasks where a line item has several steps. Your scope of work is tracked in the Task Manager from day one. Try the prompt
  • Turn an inspection report into repair tasks
    - Upload the inspection PDF and Claude creates a repair task for every flagged defect, grouped by trade with safety items first. Try the prompt
  • Assign work without opening the app
    - Tell Claude to assign all the tile tasks to your project manager and set them due Friday. The assignees and due dates update in FlipperForce.
  • Let your field crew report in
    - Set up a Grok bot your crew can message from the job site. When they finish a task or hit a problem, the bot updates the task and its notes in FlipperForce.
See all task prompts in the AI Prompt Library.
Getting Started
The Tasks API is part of the FlipperForce Public API. See the full list of task endpoints in the API documentation.
Need an API key? Request one here by filling out the form on the Public API page in your FlipperForce account. Once you have your key, follow the setup steps on our AI Agents page to connect Claude or Grok.
The FlipperForce web app is now much easier to use in your phone's browser. Date pickers, menus, the Scheduler, the Task Manager and the Photo Log have all been reworked to fit a small screen and work well with your phone's keyboard.
The FlipperForce Field app covers photos, receipts and project updates on the go. For everything else, many of you open the full web app on your phone from the job site. Some of that was clumsy. The calendar could hide behind the keyboard, menus could run off the edge of the screen, and some pages slid sideways as you scrolled. We went through the app screen by screen on iPhone and fixed what got in the way.
What's New
Getting Around
  • Fullscreen project search.
    Tap the magnifying glass next to the menu to search all your projects. Recently updated projects appear first.
  • Cleaner project header.
    A smaller photo and tidier property details leave more room for the project itself.
  • Directions from the address.
    A new Directions button next to the property address opens Apple Maps on iPhone and iPad, and Google Maps everywhere else.
  • Easier tab navigation.
    The tab for the page you're on now scrolls into view automatically. The edges of the tab bar fade to show there are more tabs to swipe to.
  • Menus stay on screen.
    The top menus, including Workspace Settings, now fit within the screen.
  • No more sideways sliding.
    The Task Manager, Photo Log, Documents and Activity Log pages no longer pan left and right as you scroll.
Mobile improvements web browser
Dates and Calendars
  • Date pickers stay visible.
    When you set a task due date, calendar event, milestone, or receipt date, the field and its calendar stay on screen above the keyboard.
  • Clear empty dates.
    Empty date fields now show "(Select a Date)", so you know where to tap.
  • Clear a Comps date.
    The Sold Date in Comps has a new Clear button, which the iPhone date picker didn't offer.
  • Compact Calendar toolbar.
    The Calendar toolbar fits on one row, with a dropdown to switch between Month, Week, Day and List.
Task Manager
  • Panels made for tapping.
    Assigned To and Priority open in panels that slide up from the bottom of the screen. When you search for a teammate, the panel expands so you can see the whole list.
  • Save before assigning.
    Changes to Assigned To only apply when you tap Save, so you can back out without changing anything.
  • Add tasks above the keyboard.
    New tasks are typed into a bar that sits right above the keyboard. You can see the list as you add to it.
Tasks on mobile
Scheduler
  • Scroll the whole timeline.
    You can scroll the whole schedule sideways to see the timeline, instead of having the task list fill the screen.
  • Editors that fit.
    Task, milestone and task group editors fit the screen, and Save, Cancel and Delete stay visible.
  • Compact toolbar.
    The toolbar is smaller, and there's a visible button to exit Full Screen.
Scheduler mobile improvements
Photo Log
  • Three photos per row
    on iPhone, up from two.
  • Reach every photo detail.
    The slideshow now scrolls, so you can reach each photo's details and actions.
Photo log scroll
Smaller Fixes
  • Table headers in the Edit Receipt & Transaction window fit on one line.
  • Loan amount options in the Flip and BRRRR Analyzers fit on one row.
  • Text editor toolbars for task notes, comments and Project Updates no longer wrap onto a second line.
No setup is needed. Just log in to FlipperForce in your phone's browser.
ImprovedTask ManagerProject Updates

Replies to Notification Emails Now Reach Your Team

FlipperForce keeps your team in the loop with email notifications for various events that happen in the platform. You get an email when:
  • A teammate posts a Project Update
  • A task is assigned to you
  • Someone comments on a task
Previously, replying to one of those emails sent your message to a FlipperForce address, not to your teammates.
Now, when you hit reply, the reply-to field in your email app comes preloaded with the email addresses of the people involved in that Project Update or task. Your reply goes directly to their inboxes, just like any other email.
Good to know:
Email replies stay in email. They are not posted back into FlipperForce as a comment. If you want your response saved on the Project Update or Task, post it in FlipperForce.
You can now pre-assign team members to the tasks in your Task Templates. Set the person responsible for each task one time in the template. Every time you load that template into a project, each task is already assigned to the right person, so you don’t have to assign tasks by hand. When the same people are always responsible for the same tasks, this saves a lot of manual setup on every project.
This came directly from large team customers who run every project off the same templates.
What’s New
  • Assigned To field is now supported in the Task Template editor.
    Choose the Team Member responsible for each task right in the template.
  • Tasks load in already assigned to Team Members.
    When you load the template into a project, each task is assigned to the person you picked, and that person gets the usual assignment email.
  • Saving a template keeps the assignees.
    When you use Save as Template on a project’s task list, the people assigned in that project are saved in the template too.
How to Set It Up
  • Go to
    Workspace Settings
    and click
    Task Templates.
  • Open an existing Task template and click into the Assigned To field on any task.
  • Select the Team Member and save.
Don’t have a template yet? Build a task list in any project and click Save as Template. Anyone assigned in that list is saved with the template.
How You Could Use This
Most flips follow the same steps every time. Task Templates let you build those steps once as a reusable checklist and load the whole list into any new project in one click. Build a template for each phase of your flip, pre-assign the Team Members, and every new deal starts with the right tasks on the right desks.
  • Acquisitions
    - Title, inspection, and insurance tasks go straight to your acquisitions lead.
  • Rehab kickoff -
    Utilities, lockbox, and contractor walkthroughs go to your project manager.
  • Closeout
    - Receipt reconciliation and the final profit statement go to your bookkeeper.
Templates without assignees work exactly as before.
Building and managing task lists in the Task Manager is now much faster. Three changes cut out most of the clicking: inline task entry, a new Assigned To field, and auto-save.
Inline Task Entry
Before, each new task took several clicks. You clicked Add Task, waited for the slide-out panel, clicked into the Task Name field, typed, and clicked Save. Then you did it all again for the next task.
Now you click Add Task, type the task name, and press Enter. A new line opens right below, so you can keep typing the next task and the next. A full checklist takes seconds.
Task Manager Tasks inline adding
Edit Everything Right in the Table
Everything in the task table is now editable inline. Click a due date to change it, update the priority, or click Assigned To to assign the task, all without opening the task.
The Assigned To field also has a new user search and checkboxes. Search for a teammate and check off everyone who should own the task, so you can assign several people directly from the table. This is useful for shared work, like a final walkthrough your project manager and listing agent need to do together.
Everything autosaves and is inline editable
Everything Auto-Saves
Before, any change to a task needed a click on Save button. Now every change saves in the background as you work. That includes the task name, notes, dates, assignees, and subtasks. Open a task, make your edits, and close it. Nothing else to click.

ImprovedfixedPhoto LogProject UpdatesFlipperForce Field Mobile App

Faster, More Reliable Photo and Receipt Uploads in the Mobile App

We rebuilt how the FlipperForce mobile app uploads photos and receipts on both iOS and Android. Uploads are now significantly faster and more reliable, and a new My Recent Uploads inbox makes large uploads easier to manage.
Faster, More Reliable Uploads
Uploading photos and receipts is now significantly faster. A rebuilt upload process gets your progress photos and receipts processed and into FlipperForce much more quickly, so you spend less time waiting on your phone at the job site.
Uploads are also more reliable. If an item fails partway through a batch, the app keeps track of it so you can retry just that item instead of starting the whole batch over.
My Recent Uploads Inbox
My Recent Uploads is a new inbox for managing your photo and receipt uploads. Tap the cloud upload icon at the top of the Projects screen to see every recent batch, including the project, time, item count, and where it went.
My Recent uploads mobile app
  • Check progress while backgrounded.
    Start a large upload, switch to another app, and come back anytime to see what's finished and what's still in progress.
  • Manage multiple batches.
    Start uploads for different projects and they run at the same time. Track each one from the inbox.
  • Retry failed items.
    Expand any failed item to see what went wrong and retry it right from the inbox.
How You Could Use This
  • End-of-day photo dumps
    - Upload 100 progress photos, lock your phone, and head to the next property. Check My Recent Uploads later to confirm everything landed.
  • Multiple job sites in one day
    - Start an upload at your first property, then another at your second. Both run at the same time.
  • Spotty signal
    - If a few photos fail on a weak connection, retry just those items once you're back on Wi-Fi.
Look for FlipperForce
app version 1.1.14
or later. No setup required. If automatic app updates are turned on, you may already have it. Otherwise, update the app from the App Store or Google Play.
FlipperForce now has a full dark theme across the web app and the FlipperForce Field mobile app. Choose Light, Dark, or System, and the app will look the way you want it to, whether you're reviewing a budget late at night or scanning receipts on a jobsite at dusk.
Until now, FlipperForce only offered a light theme. That works well in a bright office, but it can be harsh on the eyes at night, in a dim truck cab, or anywhere you'd rather not have a bright white screen lighting up your face.
image
What's New
  • Three appearance options:
    Light, Dark, and System. System automatically follows your computer or phone's display setting.
  • Web app defaults to Light.
    Nothing changes on the web unless you choose a different appearance.
  • Mobile app defaults to System.
    If your phone is set to dark mode, FlipperForce Field will match it automatically. You can switch to Light or Dark anytime from your profile.
  • Set per device.
    Your appearance choice applies to the device you're using, so you can run Dark on your laptop and Light on your desktop.
  • Printed pages and PDFs are unchanged.
    Investment Packets, reports, and anything you print or export keep their standard light formatting.
How to Turn It On (Web App)
  1. Click your avatar in the upper right corner.
  2. Open your
    User Profile.
  3. Scroll to the
    Appearance
    section and select Light, Dark, or System.
image
How to Change It (Mobile App)
  1. Open FlipperForce Field and tap your profile image in the upper right corner.
  2. Tap Appearance at the top of the menu.
  3. Select Light, Dark, or System.

Your Daily Digest and Weekly Digest emails now lead with the
Work Assigned to You.
Before, every task in the workspace showed up in one combined list. If you had a few team members across a few active projects, finding your own work meant reading the entire email. There was no Assigned To column, so there was no way to tell whose task was whose.
This came directly from a customer who wanted a more focused daily update for his guys in the field. A superintendent checking his phone at 7am does not need to read through the bookkeeper's task list to find out he has a rough-in inspection at 10.
image
What's New
  • Work Assigned to Me
    sits at the top of both emails. Your overdue tasks, your tasks due today, and your schedule tasks are all in one place.
  • Upcoming Work Assigned to Me
    gives you the look ahead for your own tasks and schedule items.
  • Other Tasks
    moved to the bottom. This covers tasks assigned to other team members and any tasks that are still unassigned, so you keep visibility across the project without it burying your own work.
  • An Assigned To column
    was added to the task tables so you can see who owns what at a glance.
  • Manage My Tasks and Workspace Tasks buttons
    take you straight into the app from the email.
Daily vs. Weekly
Both digests got the same treatment, but they answer different questions.
  • Daily Digest
    arrives every morning around 7am. It focuses on what is overdue and what is due today.
  • Weekly Digest
    arrives Sunday night. It looks ahead at everything that needs to get done in the coming work week.
How You Could Use This
  • Field superintendents and PMs
    - Open the email in the truck and see exactly what you own today before you get on site.
  • Workspace owners
    - Use the top section as your own punch list, then scan Other Tasks to catch work slipping on someone else's plate.
  • Solo flippers
    - Overdue, due today, and the week ahead are now three separate lists instead of one pile.
  • Sunday planning
    - Use the Weekly Digest to line up contractors and material orders before the week starts.
The AI Receipt Analyzer now accepts Word documents. Upload a .doc or .docx straight into your project's receipts and the analyzer reads it the same way it reads a PDF or a photo.
Previously, Word files were not a supported file type. If a contractor sent an invoice as a Word doc, you had to open it, export or print it to PDF, and then upload that. A small step, but a frequent one, since plenty of subs and vendors invoice out of a Word template rather than accounting software.
What's New
  • Both .doc and .docx files can now be uploaded to your receipts and analyzed like any other supported file
  • The analyzer pulls the same information it pulls from PDFs and images, so the receipt lands in your project with no manual re-entry
  • No conversion step, no third party converter, no printing to PDF first
How You Could Use This
  • Contractor invoices
    - Your framer emails a Word invoice at the end of the week. Upload it directly to the project's receipts and let the analyzer log the cost.
  • Vendor and supplier billing
    - Smaller suppliers often send Word or template-based invoices instead of a formatted PDF. Those now go in as-is.
  • Clearing a backlog
    - Word invoices already sitting in your email or Drive from earlier in the project can be uploaded without touching each one first.
No setup required. Upload a Word file anywhere you would upload a receipt today. The AI Receipt Analyzer is included in all All-In-One plans.
