Rules still not running

[Stephen_Li]

@golz - could you screenshot the current rule you have (from the rule builder, obfuscating any private data)? If you created it yesterday and there were tasks that should have been picked up, it might be a bug. One note: the due date approaching trigger will only fire if the specific day is met (i.e., due date is approaching in 3 days will not also pick up things due sooner, like 1-2 days out).

I think for your use case, you would ultimately want to add a second rule triggering on due date is changed, but your issue will be that there is no native condition for relative due dates (i.e., check if due dat is x days away). Consider voting for this feature:

New custom rules Due Date After/Before don't have relative dates,

I want to make a rule that if a task is added to my task and has a due date of within the week (but not today), it goes to the “Next 7 days” section. If more than 7 days, to the “Future” section and if today, then to “Today”. It was at all not possible with the old rules system that didn’t have if conditions on triggers but even with the new system the Due Date is after… condition only allow specific dates fro the calendar, which make little sense for rules and don’t allow using them in the way …

You could check out using Flowsana to address this issue. The creator, @Phil_Seeman , is an active member of this forum and his tool does a lot of awesome stuff, including triggering when a due date is x or fewer days away. Check out his post here for more info:

Ah, OK. FYI if you’re interested, you should be able to accomplish what you want with the “If task starts or is due in…” trigger in our Flowsana automation: it runs immediately when a date is changed (in addition to running at midnight), and also it treats dates as “within” as opposed to Asana’s exact dates.
