Task Is Created

Trigger a rule when a task is created

Example Rules

  • When a task is created, assign the specified label to it
  • When a task is created with no due date, move it to your “Scheduled” project
  • When a task is created with a deadline but no due date, add a label so you know it still needs scheduling

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, due date, 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.
