I am moving my task management system from my existing provider to Airtable, but I can’t find a way to set up recurring tasks?

Does anyone have a work around for this?

Below are some past responses I found using the handy search option that may be of some use. Basically, you would have to use a Zapier/Airtable integration as this is not possible using Airtable alone. Airtable is essentially a database, and was not created with typical ‘task management’ type options like recurring tasks built-in.

See post here by Julian (while this is for a recurring checklist, the methodology can be applied to Zapier/Airtable recurring tasks as well):

This process is too cumbersome. I think I’m going to have to look for an alternative to Airtable.

Setting up recurring tasks is pretty easy now. Basically, the automations got a lot better :slightly_smiling_face: . I made a YouTube tutorial that shows how to do it here: How to Automate Recurring Tasks in your To-Do List - YouTube
