How to create scheduled tasks/cards

If you have regular, recurring tasks, it is not necessary to create new cards for them from scratch each time. 

For example, every Friday an employee has to submit a report before the end of the working day, or every morning an employee has to check incoming emails from clients.

You don't have to create new identical cards, add the same responsible members, or set the same deadlines over and over again. FlowFast has an automation that will take this chore off your hands - Scheduled tasks.

To create a scheduled task in FlowFast, click on the orange clock face icon in the panel on the right.

Click "Create task" to create a new template, or click on the task name to edit it.

Add the desired periodicity, tags, participants, checklists, external links and other information to the task template, so you don't waste time with filling in repetitive cards.

You can add a deadline to scheduled tasks in advance. The deadline can be set in two ways: specify an exact date, or select the number of days after creation.

Click Add field → Due date → Set deadline.

Card creation history

At any time you can view when and where the cards were created within the scheduled task. This option comes in handy if you need to quickly find an old card for a scheduled task or make sure the card was created at the right time.

To see the creation history of cards within a scheduled task:

1. click on the orange сдщ icon in the right-hand panel;

2. click on the task;

3. open the "History" tab.
