Recurring Tasks in GoHighLevel

Overview

Recurring tasks enable you to set up tasks that automatically repeat at chosen intervals, eliminating the need to recreate them manually. This feature lets you define how often tasks recur, set end dates, and efficiently manage ongoing responsibilities.

Feature Details

• Frequency Settings:
  Choose how often the task should repeat:
  • Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly – select the appropriate interval based on your workflow.
• End Date Options:
  • Never: The task continues indefinitely.
  • Custom Date: Set a specific end date for the recurring task.
  • After a Set Number of Occurrences: Specify the number of times the task should recur.
• Create Even if Previous Task is Overdue:
  Enable this option to ensure that the next instance of the task is created according to schedule, even if previous occurrences are incomplete or overdue.
• Task Creation and Updates:
  • Create a New Task: Set up a new recurring task.
  • Convert Existing Task to Recurring: Update an existing task to repeat at set intervals.
• Edit Recurring Tasks:
  Adjust a recurring task by applying changes to all future occurrences or a single instance, depending on your needs.
• Delete Recurring Tasks:
  You can either delete all upcoming tasks in the series or delete just a specific occurrence.
• Restore Deleted Tasks:
  Accidentally deleted tasks can be restored, allowing you to bring back instances that were previously removed.

Note: If a deleted task is restored, any recurring instances that were scheduled during the time it was deleted will not be regenerated.
