Build an Internal Tool

Overview

Taskade Genesis builds an ops console for your team from a single prompt. A Project holds the records your team edits all day. Taskade EVE drafts the layout, buttons, and helper text in your team voice. Automations run behind every button, so a click can refund a customer, sync a CRM row, or page on-call. The App UI is a clean ops console your operators, support team, and engineers use every day.

TL;DR: Turn a prompt into a working internal tool in Taskade Genesis. Get an ops console with automations behind every button and a Project as the live database. Ask Taskade EVE to show full records to operators and a safe summary to everyone else, then test it with two accounts. Free to start, with more capacity on paid plans. Build the tool.

What You Will Build

1. An Ops console in Taskade Genesis with a sidebar, list view, and detail view.
2. A Records Project as the live database (orders, users, refunds, tickets).
3. Two views so operators see every field and everyone else sees a safe summary.
4. Action buttons wired to automations: approve, refund, reset, escalate.
5. A runs log so anyone can see who clicked what and when.

Step 1. Generate the Ops Console

Open Taskade Genesis and paste this prompt.

Build an internal admin tool.
Records: customer name, email, plan, status, amount, last_action.
Sidebar with sections: All records, Pending refunds, Escalated, Activity log.
Buttons on each record: Approve, Refund, Escalate, Reset password.
Operators see every field and every button.
Everyone else sees name, plan, and status only, with no buttons.
Each button runs an automation. Log every click to an activity Project.

Taskade Genesis builds a Records Project, an Activity Log Project, a published ops console, and four automations wired to the four buttons.

Step 2. Define the Two Views

Ask Taskade EVE to build the two layouts and to decide who sees each one. Name your operators in the prompt.

Show the full record view with every field and button only to signed-in users whose email is in this list: ops1@yourbrand.com, ops2@yourbrand.com. Show everyone else the name, plan, and status, with no buttons. Do not change the automations.

Why this works: The email list gives the app an exact rule for who gets the full view.

Sign-in confirms who each person is. The app applies your rule to that login.

1. Send the prompt to Taskade EVE.
2. Sign in to the published app with an operator account. Make sure that you see every field and button.
3. Sign in with a second account that is not on the list. Make sure that you see only the summary.

Workspace roles, from Owner down to Viewer, control who can edit the app inside Taskade. They do not apply to the people who sign in to the published app.

Step 3. Wire the Action Buttons

Ask Taskade EVE to connect each button to an automation.

Make the Refund button run an automation that refunds the payment in Stripe, posts a note in our Slack channel, and marks the record as refunded. Do not change the other buttons.

1. Send one prompt for each button.
2. Open Automations in the app to review the steps that Taskade EVE created.
3. Connect the integration each automation needs: Stripe for refunds, Slack for escalations, Gmail for password resets.

You are done when a test click on each button runs its automation.

Step 4. Log Every Click

Open the Activity Log Project. Every button click writes a new row here.

1. Open the automation behind any button.
2. Add a final step: Add row to Activity Log.
3. Map the fields: operator email, record id, action, timestamp.

Now every refund, every reset, every escalation has a paper trail. Auditors get a clean log without a SQL query. The team gets a feed of what shipped today.

Common Internal Tool Patterns

Who This Works For

Publish to Your Team

When the tool feels right, click Publish.

1. Pick a custom domain like admin.yourbrand.com.
2. Add sign-in with Taskade Genesis Auth, so each operator signs in with their own account.
3. Share the app link with your team. Each person creates an app account and signs in. Manage those accounts in App Users, where you can search, disable, or remove an account.

Every click feeds the workspace. Records, runs, and activity all live in one place. The tool gets sharper the more your team uses it.
