How to Set Up Recurring Tasks in Notion

Quick summary

Notion's recurring tasks feature lets you auto-duplicate database templates on a custom schedule, eliminating the need to manually recreate routine tasks. By setting a repeat interval on any database template, Notion automatically generates a fresh copy at the day, time, and timezone you choose.

Steps

1. Open the Notion database where you want to set up recurring tasks.
2. Click the dropdown arrow next to the blue New button, then select New template.
3. Name the template, such as Weekly Review.
4. Add the task details you want to reuse inside the template page, such as a checklist.
5. Set any default properties for the template, such as Priority, Status, or Due Date.
6. Click Duplicate every… in the yellow template bar at the top.
7. Choose how often you want the task to repeat, such as Week, and adjust the day, time, starting date, or timezone.
8. Return to your database and confirm the recurring template appears with a repeat icon, indicating Notion will duplicate it on your chosen schedule.
