# Task/event change of status

Tasks that are generated for activities that have not yet occurred such as **Meeting invites** now have a **status** of **Not Started**. This is to align with industry standards and Salesforce default behavior. Existing tasks will not be updated with the new status.

As a result, you need to do the following:

- Adjust your Salesforce reports or queries to include the new status
- Run the following script to update your existing tasks
  1. In the ETL tool you use for Salesforce (for example, Data Loader, [dataloader.io](http://dataloader.io/), workbench) run the following to retrieve a list of tasks generated for invites:

`SELECT Id, Status FROM Task WHERE Subject LIKE '[Gong%' AND Status='Open'`
  2. Download the results as a .csv file.
  3. In the .csv file, change the value in the **Status** column to **Not Started**.
  4. In your ETL tool, update your Salesforce tasks with the new value in the .csv file.
