Add a Due Date and Reminder to a Task

Stay on top of deadlines by adding due dates and optional reminders to any task inside a card checklist.

How to Add a Due Date & Reminder

  1. Open the card that contains (or will contain) your checklist.
  2. In the Tasks section, either:
    • Create a new Checklist and add a Task, or
    • Click an existing task.
  3. In the bottom task panel, click the Due Date icon (second icon, looks like a calendar).


  4. In the Due Date menu:
    • Select a date: Click a day on the calendar or type a date in the box below.
    • Select a time: Pick a time for the due date from the dropdown.


    • Time zone: Your country time zone displays under the time box. If it’s incorrect, you can click the pencil icon to change it.


    • Set a reminder (optional): Choose when to be reminded (from 5 minutes before up to 1 week before).


  5. The task now shows its due date in a grey box to the right.


How Reminders Work

  • A red bell icon appears next to the due date if a reminder is set (if the due date is overdue the bell appears white in the red box).


  • Reminders are sent to all card members (owner + watchers).
  • If a task passes its due date, the grey box turns red until the task is completed or removed.

Editing or Removing a Due Date

  • Click the grey due date box to:
    • Edit the date or time
    • Change or remove the reminder
    • Turn the due date off completely

Why a Reminder Might Not Work

A reminder may not trigger if:

  • The task no longer exists or is no longer part of a checklist/card template.
  • The parent card is moved to a Done column.
  • The date is invalid (e.g., set in the past or at the same minute).
