Change a Date

Trigger a rule when the date on a task changes from one date to another

Example Rules

  • Move a task to a “Rescheduled” section when its due date is changed.
  • Add a “rescheduled” label whenever a task’s due date is updated.

Note: Recurring tasks emit a date change every time they advance to their next occurrence, so this trigger will fire on each recurrence cycle.

Filtering this trigger

You can narrow when this trigger fires by adding a filter, so a rule only runs on the tasks you care about. This trigger can filter by label or deadline.

On the Pro plan you can combine more than one filter at once, and every filter has to match for the rule to run.

If you filter by a label and later delete that label in Todoist, we remove any rule that relied on it. This keeps your rules from silently pointing at a label that no longer exists.
