![]() As I have written this article on December 20, 2021, these tasks were scheduled for yesterday and the day before yesterday. You can see in the image above that I have created two tasks Clean the house and Water the plants. You can add any other properties that you’d like, but the script won’t copy their values. This can be as simple as having a Name, Date and Frequency property. So let’s go.įirst we’ll create a task database in Notion, of course. If you have written a few Notion formulas I am confident that you can take my script and adapt it to your needs. You don’t even need a code editor, just a free Pipedream account. It’s meant for programmers, but any tech-savvy person should be able to set this up. In this article I’ll show you a way to create real recurring tasks in Notion. Luckily Notion provides an API-although still in beta-so we can automate everything by code. I have watched some YouTube videos, but all of them seem to be workarounds. However, Notion lacks a major feature: There’s no built-in way of creating recurring tasks. It looked like it can replace both Evernote and Remember the Milk for my personal organization. If this exists, set the Select field named by this option to status_before_today if a created task is scheduled for before today, or status_after_today if a created task is scheduled for on or after today.I only recently discovered Notion. This allows control over which tasks notion_scheduler deletes on re-run (see command-line options). If you ever manually reschedule a scheduled task in the Tasks database, remove the tag scheduled_tag from the field tags_property, and add the tag defined by this option. Allows notion_scheduler to keep track of which tasks in the Tasks database it has generated, so that it can replace them with the updated ones on every run. The tag to put in tags_property for each created task. ![]() The Select field named by this option for which to add the tag scheduled_tag for each created task.

The configuration file is located at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/notion_scheduler/config.yml. The name of the date field of the Tasks databaseĪny additional fields defined in the Scheduled database will be copied over to each created task, as defined in the properties_to_sync configuration option (see below). If "Include time", how long should each created task last (see durations for syntax)? Empty means no end time.Ī durations rule that describes when you should be reminded. Whether to include time in the created tasks (defined in the Recurrence field) The date from which notion_scheduler should start creating this task The recurrence rule for the task (see recurrent for supported rules)Ī recurrent rule that describes dates to exclude ![]() Fields required in the Scheduled database Tip: the -dry-run -log-level=verbose option set can be really useful to see what will happen before applying changes. You can also run this from source by installing all the requirements (see requirements.txt) and running. Always back up your data! Installation pip3 install notion-scheduler This tool reads these definitions and creates each occurrence of those tasks in your actual tasks database (which I will call the Tasks database).ĭISCLAIMER: I am not responsible if this tool causes any data loss in your Notion database. This is done by defining a Notion database (which I will call the Scheduled database) that contains rules for recurring tasks. This tool allows the creation of- drumroll- recurring tasks in Notion!
