Go to Settings → Leads → Triggers → Event Based Trigger. Select Create to create a new trigger page.

In the Create Trigger page, add a name for the trigger. In addition to this, you can also set the event during which the action has to occur. Here, Leads Created.
To have the trigger in operation, keep the enabled toggle ON.

In the Criteria section, determine the condition during which the trigger has to occur.
Here, the condition is to generate a trigger when the Lead Status is New.

In the Create Task Side panel, add the information related to the task. You can feed the description and the assignee.
You can also add additional information like start date, end date, Estimated duration, Status, Priority, and Category of the task.
