Trello helps you keep track of all your tasks and complete them on time.
However, there are many routine tasks, professional and personal, that you find yourself regularly doing. For example, mundane tasks such as paying taxes or quarterly report submissions. It would be convenient if these tasks appear on the Trello board on their own when the time comes, recurringly.
Repeated tasks include everything from the original card – description, checklists, members, and more.
While Trello doesn’t natively have a feature that allows you to set up recurring tasks automatically, you can use the Card Repeater Power-Up to do this.
Note: Planyway is another Power-Up that allows users to set up recurring Trello cards. However, this feature is only available in the paid version.
Follow these steps to set up recurring tasks in Trello:
- Select the Trello board where you want to set up recurring tasks.
Select the Trello board. - Click on Show menu on the right.
Click on Show menu. - Select Power-Ups.
Click on Power-Ups. - Search for Card Repeater on the Power-Ups store. Click Add.
Search for, then add the Card Repeater Power-Up. - Once installed, go back to your board. You will see a Repeats button on your Trello board.
The Card Repeater Power Up is added. - Open the Trello card you want to set to recurring. Then, click the Repeat button under the Power-Ups section.
Click on the Repeat button. - The Repeat Power-Up allows you to schedule the recurring Trello card. Select the recurring frequency for the Trello card – Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly and the day and time you want the card to show up. Next, select the list under which the Trello card should appear and the position of the recurring Trello card – Top or Bottom. Then, click Save.
Set a recurring schedule for the Trello card. There will be a Next Repeat date and time displayed on your card.
Next Repeat (date and time) displayed on the Trello card. You now have a recurring Trello card. Carry out the same process for all the cards you want on repeat.
Note: you can access all recurring Trello cards under the Repeats Power-Up option on your Trello board.
All recurring Trello cards can be found under the Repeats Power-Up.
