Coming up, Later, Whenever and Done this week. The act-by date is the
last date to act and still meet the due date; mxr can surface the task earlier
to give you time. For a bank-transfer bill, act-by is three working days before
the due date. Use a row’s ID from the JSON output for the CLI commands below.

o for the source email or Enter for the selected row’s primary action.
Check extracted details against that source before relying on them. Use the
row’s edit control, or , on the web, to correct what mxr read.
Bills, failed payments, sign or verification requests, promises and annual
renewal reviews can become tasks automatically. An alert in Updates offers
t to create a task when you choose; it does not automatically create one
merely because it appears in Needs a look.
