📁 Getting Started with Projects

Projects help you stay organized, deliver on time, and keep every detail in one place.

Projects are the heartbeat of your workflow in TalleFlow. Every event, client job, or service engagement lives inside a project — keeping all your tasks, documents, emails, invoices, and files neatly organized in one place.


This guide walks you through what projects are, how to create them, and everything you can manage inside a project workspace.

What Are Projects in TalleFlow?

A project is a container that holds everything related to a client job:
✔️ Client details & communication
✔️ Tasks & project timeline
✔️ Documents (proposals, contracts, invoices, questionnaires, forms)
✔️ Files & attachments
✔️ Meetings & Google Calendar sync
✔️ Payments & expenses
✔️ Notes, collaborators, and activity
✔️ Custom stages & project types
Projects help you:
  • Stay organized from inquiry → delivery
  • Track progress at every stage
  • Manage deliverables and deadlines
  • Store all communication in one hub
  • Keep your team aligned​

📋 Offerings on the Activity feed (Sep 2026)

The project Activity tab now records inventory, timeline, and Canva design events alongside emails and documents.

  • Inventory – reserve, update quantity, or release stock on a project.
  • Timelines – create, edit, clear, or delete a project timeline.
  • Canva designs – link or unlink designs from the project.

Use the Activity filters to show only Inventory or Timelines when reviewing what changed on a job.
