The properties are the following:
Expand the Query Parameters:
Add the Id of the Task to start
you can find the Task Id here:
Add the Delay here:
An optional delay in seconds; very important!
This is particularly useful if you want to make sure that the task accesses the correct version of the app; when a load script has been completed, it may take a few seconds for Qlik Sense to commit the changes of the app to the database.

When Mail & Deploy starts the task execution too fast, it may access the old version of the app rather than the new one. By delaying the execution (e.g. say by 60 seconds, depending on the app size) you can ensure that Qlik Sense has finished saving all app changes before the task execution starts.
Expand the Header Query parameter:
See How to get an API Access Key in Mail & Deploy? to create and get the MailAndDeployAccessKey.
The next step is Connection:
Press Create API Key connection
