# People Tasks

If the built-in People Tasks component *RequestApprovalEmail* is triggered, it sends an email with task details. This email contains a link to a frontend page where the user can see the task. To build that link, the component needs to know the frontend URL. 

The default value for the PEOPLE\_TASKS\_DASHBOARD\_URL variable is `http://localhost:8080/people-tasks`

docker-compose.yml example:

```
  engine:
    environment:
      - PEOPLE_TASKS_DASHBOARD_URL=${PEOPLE_TASKS_DASHBOARD_URL:-http://localhost:8080/people-tasks}
```

In your installation, this is going to point to your People Tasks Dashboard implementation. You can use the [Appmixer SDK](https://docs.appmixer.com/6.0/v4.1/appmixer-sdk/api-reference/peopletasks#appmixer-ui-peopletasks) to build that Dashboard or you can write your own. The backend API for that is described [here](https://docs.appmixer.com/6.0/v4.1/api/people-task).
