Finally, a way to create recurring tasks in monday.com!

Greetings friends! In our continuing quest to help you optimise your monday.com experience to the max, we’re now proud to bring you Recurring Tasks for monday.com. Our new app empowers you and your teams to take your monday.com use to the next level by accurately reflecting routine or regularly recurring tasks in your monday.com boards, calendar, timelines, Kanban, and reports.

Our new app allows you to:

  1. Save time by creating and scheduling recurring tasks: easily schedule repeating items in your monday.com board from the side-panel view in a single step.

  2. Accurately reflect recurring tasks in your monday.com boards: see repetitive tasks scheduled on your boards, calendar, timelines, Kanban, and reports.

  3. Visibility and control of each recurrence: each recurring item is a native monday.com item. So, you can see it in your reports, timelines and everywhere else in monday.com that items are used, and edit each task individually. Have more control over scheduling recurring tasks by selecting customisable end dates, repetitions, and working days.

  4. No more workarounds: You no longer have to create recurring tasks manually, use suboptimal automations, or set regular reminders in your calendar. With just one step, you can now have all your recurring tasks show in your monday.com boards.

Feel free to download Recurring Tasks and let us know what you think!

Although I appreciate the efforts of app developers, I find it disappointing that a seemingly straightforward function such as setting up a recurring task in a task management program like Monday.com isn’t already included as a standard feature. Personally, I believe essential functionalities like this should be integral to the base program rather than requiring additional payment.

I totally agree with Rick. This a basic functionality.
I can understand the absence of this feature in the free accounts, but if you are already paying for a subscription on Monday, it should be included. It’s just too basic to be missing. I can’t believe you need to pay extra for this.

I am busy evaluating Monday_com for use across our Task and Project management spectrum, and am dumbfounded that basic task recurrence is not natively built in.
I can understand that the automation engine is fantastic for some advanced automation, but basic ‘repeat this task every weekday or on completion’ should be a click of a button.
I cannot even find a way with automation to repeat a task with sub-tasks…you have to re-create an item, instead of just taking an existing item with subtasks and repeating it.
This is a massive gap.

Hi @jreinaldo_batfer and @Henrivdm,

Welcome to the monday community! :muscle:

Thanks for your input. I would recommend adding it to the platform Feature Request category, or adding a vote on an open feature request if it already exists (here’s one potential option).

Our development teams take community input into consideration when making updates and often pickup tasks from feature requests. Those requests are updated with timelines (long-term roadmap, on roadmap, not on roadmap, etc.) so you have a sense of what will be released and when.

The monday apps & developers community is for external developers creating for/utilizing monday’s API or apps, so it’s a bit of a different ecosystem. Just want to make sure your feedback reaches the right place so we can work on bridging those gaps!

Either way - again, welcome to the community (and hopefully welcome to monday @Henrivdm!) :smiley:

Best,
Rachel

OK, there are now several apps in the marketplace that do what looks like a pretty ok job of creating recurring tasks. Had anyone got any thoughts on how they compare with one another; anyone done any comparative evaluation? TIA.
