@Garrett_Knoll, if I understand you right, we would be able to setup your rule to run on specified times.
I have mixed feelings about that.
On one hand that would mean you don’t have to rely on a previous recurring task being completed for the rule to run, so that’s good. Especially curious to see what can be done with AI powered rules that can do, and also combining it with web-search might enable exciting workflows.
On the other hand I don’t understand why not Enable Recurring Tasks to Trigger Rules ?
Doesn’t that yield the same result, with less work?
Calling the fact that recurring tasks don’t trigger rules expected behaviour never made sense to me.
Currently we have roughly 3 options to have recurring tasks to trigger rules:
- Use @Arthur_BEGOU’s workaround
- Use Flowsana rules
- Have an external tool like Zapier shoot tasks into Asana
Now we seem to be adding a fourth option, also in the background.
I’m worried people will start using the schedule option to compensate for recurring tasks not being able to trigger rules, making it less visible/obvious.
Having a new instance of a recurring tasks trigger the rules woudld bring it to the foreground.
Circling back to this thread, this feedback seems different than a schedule for rules. Would utilising custom date fields more extensively be included in this update? If so, besides the variants on due/start date is approaching for custom fields I’d also love to be able to compare date fields in a condition.
That’d also potentially solve: End Dates for Recurring Tasks, although it again would be leaning on the ability of the recurring tasks to trigger the rule…
