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

- 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).

- 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).
