Recurring tasks let you automate repeat work. Bitrix24 creates tasks on a schedule, so you don’t have to set them up manually each time.

Set up the task once. Add the title, description, assignee, and schedule. Bitrix24 will generate new tasks based on these settings. For example, an accountant can get a “Submit reports” task every month. A marketer can get a weekly reminder to review campaigns.

Recurring tasks are based on templates. You can update or pause a template at any time.

Create a recurring task

To make a task recurring, create or edit a template:

1. Go to Tasks and Projects > Templates.
2. Open an existing template or click Create.
3. Fill in the main fields such as title, description, assignee, and deadline.
4. Add optional items like files, checklists, or reminders.
5. Turn on Recurring task at the bottom of the form.

A block with recurrence settings will appear.

Set up task recurrence

Use recurrence settings to control when and how Bitrix24 creates new tasks.

Create tasks by template
Choose how often Bitrix24 should create tasks:

• Daily: Use this for tasks you handle every day, such as reviewing reports or checking inventory.
• Weekly: Pick specific days of the week. For example, create a task every Tuesday or Friday.
• Monthly: Choose a date or a weekday, such as the 15th or the second Monday. This works well for reports or invoices.
• Yearly: Set a specific date or pattern for annual tasks like audits or renewals.

Recurrence start
Defines when Bitrix24 begins creating tasks. By default, tasks start right after you save the settings. You can select a different start date if needed.

Recurrence stop
Controls when task creation ends. Choose one of these options:

• Exact date: Stop on a specific date.
• After ... runs: Stop after a set number of tasks.
• Manually: Keep creating tasks until you turn off recurrence.

Create new task at
Choose when new tasks appear. By default, Bitrix24 creates tasks at the start of the workday based on your account settings.

Create tasks on weekends and holidays
Decide what happens if a task falls on a non-working day. By default, Bitrix24 creates the task on that day. To move it to the next workday, select No. This option is available only for the Daily recurrence period.

When you finish, click Save.
