# Salesforce: Understanding Archived Tasks

#### **What is an archived task?**

An archived task in Salesforce is a task that is moved out of the primary view to improve system performance. Archived tasks are not deleted, they’re simply stored in the background.

#### When are tasks archived?

Salesforce automatically archives tasks when:

* The task is closed and older than one year (365 days) or
* The task has no due date and was created more than one year ago.

These rules help Salesforce manage large volumes of activity data while keeping current records easier to work with.

#### How do archived tasks affect HockeyStack?

* Archived tasks are not available in HockeyStack reporting or journeys. This is due to how Salesforce handles them.
* However, they still exist in Salesforce and can be manually imported by admins by a data re-pull.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.hockeystack.com/marketing-intelligence/report-examples-and-insights/integration-and-data-ingestion/salesforce-understanding-archived-tasks.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
