# Create a new task — Zoho Projects

Botize method — `zohoprojects.create_task` (action).

- `description` *(string)* — Description. Description of the task.
- `priority` *(string, one of: "None" = None; "Low" = Low; "Medium" = Medium; "High" = High)* — Priority. Priority of the task.

*(Fields derived from the configuration form.)*
