Hello, so I am making an app to track as well as assign tasks that need to be done by managers. (I am using a table record to assign tasks daily, weekly, monthly and yearly)
I think I have everything that the app needs to sort and assign the tasks, but the problem now is how to make some of the tasks “reoccur”. I need to make it so after a certain amount of time they will re appear on the table but I’m not sure that’s a current feature. Are there any other ways to go about this?
Hi Jade,
You’re right that tables don’t have a feature to make tasks reoccur on their own. The usual way to handle this is with automations. For example:
Set an automation on a timer (daily, weekly, monthly) that adds the task back into the table.
Or, when a task is marked complete, have the automation create the same task again with a future due date.
This way the task will reappear when you need it.
Here’s a KB article that walks through automations: Automations in Tulip

Or:
When the task is marked complete, use the exact same trigger (the one that’s used to set the complete status) to create a copy of it with a future due date.
This might be the easiest way.
