Tasks

A task has several arguments. It contains a title and a description describing what the assigned users or roles should do, it contains an ID which is used to identify the task in any command, and it has one of three states. It can optionally contain a deadline.

Task Data

  • ID*
  • Title
  • Description
  • State
  • Creator*
  • Creation Date*
  • Deletion Date**
  • Deadline
  • Priority
  • Repeat interval
  • Next repeat date
  • Repeat end date
  • Assigned User(s)
  • Assigned Role(s)
  • Subtasks
  • Labels

*The ID, creator and creation date are fixed values that can't be changed.

**The deletion date is set when the task is marked as deleted by executing the task delete command.

States

Each task is located in one of the states:

  • Todo - The state with which each task starts. It means that no one has started working on the task.
  • In Progress - This state means that someone has started working on the task.
  • Done - The last state means that the task has been completed.

Deadline

The deadline is set by executing the task deadline command.

Deadline reminders

When a deadline is set and due in less than 12 hours and the task is not done, the bot will send a reminder to every assigned user (not to assigned roles) and a logging message, if logging is configured. A follow-up reminder will be sent up to 12 hours after the deadline has passed, if the task is still not done and the priority is higher than "low". If the priority is set to "high" or "urgent", another follow-up reminder will be sent 36-48 hours after the deadline has passed, if the task is still not done.

Deadlines in calendar

When using the Calendar Manager (opens in a new tab) you can see all tasks with a deadline in the calendar.

Subtasks

A task can hold multiple subtasks in it. Other than the normal tasks, they don't have three states as they just can be completed or not completed. All subtasks can be viewed by using the /task info command.

Repeating Tasks

Tasks can be set to be repeated. This means the task will be moved to the Todo state after it has been completed and the interval has passed. The interval can be set to a specific amount of dates, between 1 and 365.

Once the interval is reached, the task will be checked if it has been completed. If it has, it will be moved to the Todo state. If it hasn't, the task will not be moved, but the next check will happen after the set interval. This process will repeat until the repeat end date is reached. If no repeat end date is set, the task will repeat forever.

In all lists, a repeating task will be marked with a 🔁 symbol.

Auto priority

With the auto priority feature enabled, the bot will use AI to determine the priority of a task based on the title and description of the task. This feature is disabled by default and has to be enabled manually.
