Task Is Overdue

Trigger a rule when a task becomes overdue

Example Rules

  • When a task becomes overdue, reschedule it to the current date

Rules with this trigger may take up to 5 minutes to run after the task becomes overdue.

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.
