Recurring tasks

Run and revert a task automatically every day, week or month.

A recurring task applies its change at the start of each occurrence and reverts it at the end. Typical uses: a daily happy-hour price, a weekend sale every week, a payday promotion on a set day of the month.

Choose Recurring under Start time when creating the task, then pick Daily, Weekly or Monthly.

Daily

Daily recurrence

Each condition has its own Start date and End date, a Start time and an End time. Between the two dates, the task runs every day at the start time and reverts at the end time. The summary under the condition reads, for example, Repeat: Every day at 6:00 AM / Revert: Every day at 6:00 PM.

Weekly

Weekly recurrence

Set one Start date and End date for the whole schedule, then for each condition choose the Start weekday and time and the End weekday and time. The end weekday must be the same as or after the start weekday, so a window can span several days (Friday 06:00 to Sunday 18:00) but not wrap past Sunday.

Monthly

Same as weekly, but you choose a day of the month (1 to 31, or Last day of month) for the start and the end.

Rules

• Times are chosen in 10-minute steps (00, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50) in your app timezone.

• When start and end fall on the same day, the end time must be later than the start time.

• You can add several conditions with Add another condition. They must not overlap: each condition must start after the previous one ends.

• There is no separate Revert time section. The end of each occurrence is the revert.

• Recurring tasks are not available for the delete fields.

• Recurring tasks require a paid plan.

Timing

Recurring occurrences are checked every 10 minutes, so a run or revert may start up to about 10 minutes after the time you set. One-time scheduled tasks are not affected by this.

Managing a recurring task

On the Tasks list the Recurring column shows Daily, Weekly or Monthly, and the progress column shows Next run on … and Next revert on …. On the task details page the Recurring card lists the schedule.

• Reschedule (in the Recurring card) changes future occurrences. Dates that have already passed are locked.

• Cancel recurring task stops all future runs. The task keeps the status Manual start.

• Finish recurring ends the schedule after the current cycle; the status becomes Recurring completed.

• A recurring task with no next occurrence and an unfinished cycle shows Due. Reschedule it or cancel it.

Recurring tasks cannot be duplicated.
