Set your task as Recurring (1) if it needs to be performed more than once, and set an assignee to notify that team member (2).
Open the Associate To menu and select the kind of object(s) to include. You can pick multiple types of objects to include at once.
Click + Add, then select the object you want to connect. You may include up to 10 of each object type.
