Efficient & Scalable Project Delivery Starts with Template Management in TaskRay

About the Author
TaskRay

Have you ever felt overwhelmed trying to manage templates across projects or had that sinking feeling of updating a process in one place only to realize ten projects didn’t get the memo? 

You’re not alone. Template management is a critical piece of operational success, especially when you’re juggling onboarding, implementation, or recurring service delivery across customers. 

The good news? TaskRay has built a powerful, flexible suite of template tools to take that pressure off your plate.

From smarter updates to seamless migrations, we rounded up the best TaskRay template features to help you save time, stay aligned, and scale faster.

Template Sync: One Update, Instant Impact

Let’s kick things off with the newest star in the template management lineup: Template Sync.

We’ve all been there: your team rolls out a process improvement, but now you have to hunt down every active project to apply the update. Manual edits? No thanks. With Template Sync, that’s a thing of the past.

Template Sync automatically syncs template changes to active in-flight projects, keeping everything aligned to the latest version of your process—without requiring manual updates. Whether your projects were cloned from a master template or stitched together from multiple sources, Sync can be enabled to ensure each one stays in step.

Why It Matters:

  • Save time with automatic updates—no more repetitive edits across projects.
  • Ensure compliance by rolling out process changes across the board instantly.
  • Improve consistency and reduce room for error in live project execution.

Whether you’re managing a single onboarding process or hundreds of projects across departments, Template Sync helps you move fast while staying organized.

Smart Configurations for Real-World Use

Template Sync isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s flexible by design. You can:

  • Choose which active projects are eligible for syncing.
  • Define criteria for what gets updated (specific tasks, fields, etc.).
  • Enable sync for cloned projects or dynamically built ones (via stitching).

And because it only updates open work, your historical data stays intact. It’s hands-off change management that just works.

Template Sync is out of beta and available as a paid add-on for Standard and Premium Editions.

Template Migration: Sandbox to Production in Just a Few Clicks

Now, let’s talk about what might be the most underrated time-saver for template managers: Template Migration.

If you’ve ever had to recreate a tested template from your Salesforce sandbox into production, you know the pain: multiple tools, manual steps, and more room for error than you’d like to admit. Enter Template Migration.

This feature simplifies the whole process. Build and test templates safely in your sandbox environment, and when you’re ready, migrate them to production with just a few clicks. It’s fast, accurate, and eliminates the need for external data loaders or manual recreation.

Why It Matters:

  • No more manual migration—move templates (with their entire structure) automatically.
  • Test safely, then go live confidently, without impacting active data.
  • Empower more users with new permission sets that reduce dependency on Admins.

This is huge for teams that frequently iterate or follow strict change management protocols. Plus, Template Migration preserves template IDs, meaning automations tied to templates (like cloning or stitching) stay intact even after a migration.

You can now make continuous improvements, reduce risks, and free up resources for higher-impact work. That’s smart scaling.

Template Hub & Template Builder: Your One-Stop Template Command Center

Let’s zoom out for a moment. Before you sync or migrate anything, you need a centralized way to build and manage your templates—and that’s where Template Hub and Template Builder come in.

These tools offer a visual, user-friendly interface to:

  • Create new template projects.
  • Set up project structures, teams, and task dependencies.
  • Manage template versions and activate them for use org-wide.

The recent UI upgrades make Template Hub even easier to navigate, and you can now version templates to track changes over time (more on that below).

Whether you’re building from scratch or optimizing an existing template, the Hub is your single source of truth.

Template Versioning: Improve Confidently, Revert Instantly

No process is perfect forever, and that’s okay. With Template Versioning, you can improve templates without a hassle.

Every time you make changes to a template, TaskRay keeps a historical backup. You can:

  • Compare performance across versions.
  • Roll back to a previous version if needed.
  • Track how updates impact results over time.

This means real-time optimization without fear of breaking what’s working. It’s also a great way to benchmark best practices and onboard new team members with a clear, standardized process.

Stitcher: Custom Projects Without Starting from Scratch

Sometimes you need more flexibility than a single template can offer. That’s where Stitcher shines.

Stitcher lets you dynamically build custom projects by combining multiple templates or task groups—manually or through automation (like when an Opportunity is marked “Closed Won”). It’s perfect for onboarding scenarios, installations, or any situation where customers require a unique combination of repeatable processes.

You can:

  • Manually stitch templates together.
  • Insert task groups into live projects.
  • Automate stitching using Salesforce Flow for scalable project generation.

The result? Unique projects that are still standardized and repeatable, saving time while reducing errors.

Putting It All Together: A Smarter Template Toolkit

Let’s recap the powerful template tools now at your fingertips in TaskRay:
