Hi all.

I’ve luckily found a native workaround for recurring tasks to trigger rules when completed. 😇

## What worked for me:

1. A rule that complete the task when it’s due.

1. Any rule where the trigger is the Task added to the project.  
For example:

**3) The result**

**Before: completing a task with the normal button** (rule is not triggered by the recurring task):

**After: completing the task using the rule** (rule is triggered)

**Remark:**  
You probably also need this option to be activated on the second rule.

Hope that helps 🙂
