A big disadvantage of that approach is that we lose a record of all the recurring tasks we did in the past, since we are always recycling them for next time. If only Notion would make the "Repeat" option of templates a little bit more capable and customizable...

@renegadek9 2 месяца назад

I was surprised by your comment so I checked the Completed table in the Ultimate Brain Task Manager and you are right. It does list what recurring tasks I completed today, but not past days completed recurring tasks. The email generated by Pipedream will show what was processed each day though.

I like todoist but they lock way too many basic task managment features behind a paywall. Stuff like task reminders and calendar view are basic features, they should not charge a premium for that. Also their logo looks like it was designed by a 5th grader, a stack of checkmarks that look stretched to the wrong aspect ratio.

@thebutterflyroot 2 месяца назад

@@jadonharper1493 It's true that many features are locked behind a paywall but it's definitely convenient especially with the web and mobile apps. Cross platform access is important for task management. On the other hand I've started exploring Tana for note taking and even some tasks and I'm really enjoying it. The fields in supertags are like database fields in Notion but much easier and more intuitive for me.

Thanks, Thomas! I love Ultimate Tasks and use it every day. Question about recurring task intervals.

@darrylbrooks3361 3 месяца назад

Great stuff as always. I'll dig into this again. Since I began using Notion for tasks, my take on recurring tasks is not to deal with them, even though 90% of my tasks are recurring. Instead of one click to complete and change the date of a task as in most systems, I simply click on the date, then click on the new date. 2 clicks instead of 1 and it requires no work. An extra bonus is how easy it is to change the recurrence, which happens often.

@ThomasFrankExplains 3 месяца назад

Yep! That's the *true* simplest way to do it. The first video I ever made on this channel was most about this method, with the only upgrade being the formula that helps calculate the next due date just to take that mental burden off the user.

@thatbberg 2 месяца назад

When I run this with Pipeline the "Type" property formula changes and no longer has "Recurring" in the formula. It changes from "if(empty(prop("Recur Interval")), "⏳One-Time", "🔁 Recurring")" to "if(empty(prop("Recur Interval")), "⏳One-Time", "⏳One-Time")"

@SeyiObembe 3 месяца назад

I think you can also do this automation for level 3 if you’re on Apple by leveraging shortcuts to filter in the same way you do grab the date in your next due property and then update the actual date with the date from your formula. Both are really cool though and it’s really cool to come up with innovative solutions to this whilst Notion catch up!

@ThomasFrankExplains 3 месяца назад

I believe you can, yes! It just makes the workflow reliant on your device being on and connected to the internet, which isn't guaranteed. I'm also not totally sure if you can have it run on a schedule, instead of needing you to manually run it - though maybe that is possible.

@SeyiObembe 3 месяца назад

@@ThomasFrankExplains Yeah I believe you’re right about the internet connection point - I tend to use a spare iPad that I leave at home and use shortcut automations to get it to run on a schedule. If you exclusively use iOS/iPadOS you can actually get it to run every time you close Notion, but where this isn’t as viable is if you’re on MacOS, hence switching to a run at X O’Clock every day similar to your automation

@AlvaroRC96 3 месяца назад

This is amazing, just one small thing, is there any way to use this with time included in the due date? Thanks in advance

@ThomasFrankExplains 3 месяца назад

Unfortunately no - I've answered this in some other comment replies with more detail, but it has to do with Daylight Savings Time and the limits of the Notion API. Supporting time brings in the risk of the automation setting the wrong date.

@Zielarz108 2 месяца назад

Did you have a litttle bug in this JS code ? For me everytime when script kick in it set type formula to "if(empty(prop("Recur Interval")), "⏳One-Time", "⏳One-Time")"

It's not a bug; the script needs to change the formula to that value. Tasks are "recurring" only when you're completing recurring tasks manually, not using this automation: thomasjfrank.com/notion-automated-recurring-tasks/#completing-recurring-tasks-manually

how to centect calendar view on Notion with tasks and projects and notes

@cchurchlead Месяц назад

Hey Thomas! I was wondering if you have any insight into whether Notion will allow automation workflows to reference formulas or get more granular with specifics? For example, I had an idea this morning involving a recurring task. I thought of creating a Boolean checkbox that checks if a "Birthday" date property is in the past. If true, it would check a checkbox property. Using this in conjunction with your recurring task workflow, I believe I could use that checkbox to represent a "done" status. This would update a "Next Birthday" formula, so when it updates in Pipedream, it will automatically change the birthday date to the following year. This way, the Boolean checkbox will always remain unchecked until the day after the birthday and activate an automation when the formula is edited. I was wondering how you monitor birthdays or important events with reminders in Notion auto-magically and if you would make a RU-vid video on it. I’m trying not to have to do any manual updates on my side. Right now I just have a formula that shows the date in ascending order in YYYY-MM-DD format so it always appears correctly but that’s as far as I got

@karinwesterberg9438 3 месяца назад

Thanks so much for this! I am quite new to notion, so this might be silly questions but here goes: if I use another language than English in notion, I will need to change the property names in the code to correspond to the actual names on the properties I use (for example "att göra" in strad of "to do"), right? And if do, I can not use the "magic button" to add code to the workflow if I would like to automate the process? Any suggestions on how to go about this if I need to make changes in the property names in the code? All help most appreciated!

@ThomasFrankExplains 3 месяца назад

Instead of changing the property names in the code, I'd recommend first setting up the properties and formulas exactly as I've done. Once that's done, you can change the property names, and the formulas that reference them will get updated. Note that this only works for property names - e.g. Due, Recur Unit, etc. For specific options - like "Day(s), Week(s)" etc in Recur Unit, you'll need to translate them both in the actual property and in the Localization Key formula. You can learn more about that here: thomasjfrank.com/notion-automated-recurring-tasks/#faqs-and-reference-guides I'm not sure about the magic button you're referring to!

@AustinWalker 3 месяца назад

This is super helpful! It seems like "Level 3" requires the previous videos' set up to have the "next due" formula included in the task properties to pull from, correct?

@ThomasFrankExplains 3 месяца назад

Yep! But you don't need to use the previous video - if you're not using one of my templates, you can get the new formulas here: thomasjfrank.com/notion-automated-recurring-tasks/#faqs-and-reference-guides The ones in the previous video won't work, since Notion has updated to their new Formulas 2.0 language since then.

@rafiahmed4784 2 месяца назад

There is showing just "Done" property. no kanban property is showing. How to fix it? I m using your ultimate brain template.

@robinhanna 3 месяца назад

Maybe I'm missing something, but doesn't this stop all my tasks from ever being completed? Or will pipedream only trigger if I have set a recur interval? Also quick hack: You can change the look of a status property to "Checkbox", so you can switch you setup without loosing them

@ThomasFrankExplains 3 месяца назад

Correct, Pipedream only triggers on checked-off tasks that have a Next Due date (which will only show if you set a Recur Interval). The automation doesn't touch tasks that are meant to be one-time. Technically, it does un-check your recurring tasks and set them to the next upcoming date. But I find that works quite well!

@wingtracer 2 месяца назад

Using your template exactly, but it is saying no tasks to update. I have confirmed the database is correct. UPDATE: Found looking at the pipedream filters that a due date is required on a task. Once added, it worked.

@Kanisi_LMM 3 месяца назад

🙌🏾 thanks for sharing. How does it work with specific times? Would it work if I'm collaborating with someone in a different time zone? Do they see the same moment in time or does it translate into their time zone with same nominal time? Time zones in Notion hurt my brain.

@ThomasFrankExplains 3 месяца назад

Unfortunately, it doesn't work with times. We tried really hard to make this work, but the limitations of the Notion API make it pretty much impossible. This is mostly due to Daylight Savings Time - because we have to work with the API, there are situations where the next due date would be across the line that divides standard time and daylight savings time. But there are literally thousands of DST rules all around the word, so we can't compensate for this - and it could lead to times becoming inaccurate.

@Zamten 3 месяца назад

Came across notion years ago but didn't fully go into it for whatever the reason but coming back for the need an organization in my life since I have gotten SOO much more busy, led me straight back to Notion. Must say I appreciate this video since it hit the nail on the head with what I was looking for, though still looking at other avenues. The reoccurring task was a NEED for me and seeing this video made me explode with excitement xD. Well done on the video and information given and look forward to seeing more videos (subscribed immediately). Question: Unless I missed something but is there a way to have the Kanban status update itself to Done, once the checkbox for a task is ticked? I checked a bunch of boxes last night but forgot to adjust the status so the automation didn't go through. EDIT: I watched the video again so I made sure to use the status instead of the checkbox but for some reason PipeDream gave an error about 2 times and the dates of the task got adjusted by 4 years instead of 1 year.

@ThomasFrankExplains 3 месяца назад

The automation can't set your Status to Done, as it's intended to do the opposite. Sorry about that! Personally, I'm moving towards only using Kanban Status, and totally getting rid of the Done checkbox. Notion now lets you render Status properties as checkboxes, so it's finally time to stop having two different properties for task status. I'll be covering this in one of my next two videos. As for the Pipedream error, feel free to open an issue here: github.com/TomFrankly/pipedream-notion-recurring-tasks/issues If Pipedream adjusted the task date incorrectly, it's likely an issue with your setup in Notion. All Pipedream does here is read the date displayed in Next Due, and set the Due date to that date.

@LauraArcosFacio 3 месяца назад

Thank you so much for this! I have a little question, I’m building a system that requires having a list of past “done” dates. So this brings me to make different tasks to keep track of those tasks being done in different due dates. I much rather use your system if there’s any solution on having a list inside the task that shows past “done” days or something like that. Any ideas?

@ThomasFrankExplains 3 месяца назад

Yep, you can do this! If you look in the Exports tab of the notion_recurring_tasks action, you can see that I export an array called completedRecurringTasks within the $return_value object. That array contains the full record of each completed task, before it is processed. So the due date is whatever it was when you checked off the task. You can use this data to create your log. Add a new step to the workflow, then choose Notion → Use Any Notion API in Node.js. From there, you can add code to build your log. I've thrown together an example code step that will add the due date as a bullet list item in the page body: github.com/TomFrankly/pipedream-notion-recurring-tasks/blob/main/update-log.mjs All you'd need to do is paste that code into the code step, then choose your Notion account from the Configure tab.

@cchurchlead 3 месяца назад

I was hoping to find a recurring function in your formulas that allows for scheduling tasks based on a specific day within a week. For instance, the current monthly task function has limitations. When setting a recurrence, it's tied to a specific day rather than a weekday within a week. This makes it challenging to schedule tasks like 'the third Thursday of every month.' Unfortunately, there's no option to set this in either the weekly or monthly sections. Even setting the recurrence interval to every four weeks in the weekly section can be problematic, as months with five weeks would disrupt the schedule.

@ThomasFrankExplains 3 месяца назад

Yep, the system unfortunately doesn't support recur schedules like that. We added First/Last Weekday of the Month, but we had to stop somewhere. I think I've invested about $50,000 in developer time getting this recurring tasks setup to where it is now, not counting the hours I put in myself! There's a balance in investing more time/money into this, because I expect Notion to fix it themselves at SOME point. (Though I thought it'd be done by now!) For the next few months I need to focus on product refreshes, new content, and Flylighter's launch - but when I get some downtime, one upgrade I'd like to try making to this is letting people use ChatGPT or Claude to write literally any recur schedule they want. I'm thinking I could just give people a normal text field to write something like "Third Tuesday of the Month" and then update the Pipedream script to convert that into an RRULE and apply it to the Due date.

But now that I have my own experience programming, I know first-hand how a seemingly simple feature can spawn a billion little papercuts, edge cases, etc. For instance, my team and I spent literal weeks of development time trying to support task times in this video's automation - only to discover that it's not possible, due to stupid details around Daylight Savings Time. That's the kind of discovery that takes a long time to get to, and is also hard to satisfactorily explain to users. I'd imagine Notion is dealing with that on an even larger scale...

Excellent Tutorial as a developer myself, I loved your code. But I think there is a tiny little bug here where you defined the formula for recurring tasks. if not can you explain ? [config.type.name]: { formula: { expression: `if(empty(prop("Recur Interval")), "⏳One-Time", "⏳One-Time")`, }, }, must be replaced with that right ? : [config.type.name]: { formula: { expression: `if(empty(prop("Recur Interval")), "⏳One-Time", "🔄Recurring")`, }, },

That's there on purpose. The Type formula should only ever mark a task as "Recurring" if someone is using the manual method from Level 2 - just moving the Due date. This formula just helps prevent confusion if someone checks Done on their task, but doesn't have the Pipedream automation set up. In that case, the task would never appear in their to-do list again. Once someone is using the Pipedream automation, we want the task to always be "One-Time" no matter what.

@@ThomasFrankExplains I understand would be better to return just "One-Time" then to avoid confusion.

@@mednoun8609 yeah, I don't like that we have that property at all to be honest. It's there because I included it all the way back in 2019, and I have to make sure my automations work for people who have very old versions of the templates. In future versions of my templates, I'm hoping to simply remove that property. But in old templates, it's all over the filters in every database view - and those can't be updated remotely.

@@ThomasFrankExplains So after testing the workflow, the pipedream AI automatically changes the "Type" property to always be configured as "One-Time". However, that is the only change that occurs. The checkbox for the "done" property does not reset to "unchecked" and the dates do not automatically reset. please help however you can, accidentally stayed up all night watching all your videos and going through code (im a medical student not CS major haha) trying to understand and fix the issue.
