Introduction to Automating Task Reminders in Bubble.io   Automating task reminders in Bubble.io involves setting up workflows that will notify users based on specific conditions or timeframes. Bubble.io allows you to create sophisticated logic while keeping the process relatively straightforward, even for users with no programming background. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this, from setting up the data types to creating the workflows.   Step 1: Setting Up Data Types   1. **Create a New Data Type:** Go to the Data tab and create a new data type for the tasks if you don’t have one already. Name it "Task." 2. **Add Fields:** Within the "Task" data type, add necessary fields such as: - **Name:** Type: Text - **Due Date:** Type: Date - **User:** Type: User (assuming you have a User data type) - **Reminder Sent:** Type: yes/no (default to ‘no’)   Step 2: Setting up Backend Workflow   1. **Create a Backend Workflow:** Go to the "Backend Workflows" section under the "Workflow" tab. If you don't see it, enable it under Settings > API > This app exposes a Workflow API endpoint, and check "Enable workflow API and backend workflows." 2. **New API Workflow:** Click on "New API Workflow" and name it something like "SendTaskReminder."   Step 3: Creating the Workflow Actions   1. **Schedule API Workflow:** Within the "SendTaskReminder" workflow, add a new action to "Send email" (or any other notification method you prefer). - **To:** Current Task's User's email - **Subject:** Task Reminder - **Body:** Include dynamic data like "This is a reminder for task: Current Task’s Name due on Current Task's Due Date." 1. **Change 'Reminder Sent' Status:** Add another action to "Make Changes to a Thing." - **Thing to Change:** Current Task - **Field to Change:** Reminder Sent = yes   Step 4: Setting Up Conditional Checks   1. **Set Condition:** Set a condition to ensure that reminders are only sent if the reminder has not already been sent. For example, add a condition on the workflow event: "Only when Current Task’s Reminder Sent is 'no.'"   Step 5: Scheduling the Workflow   1. **Scheduler:** To automate your reminders, you'll need to set up a scheduler. 2. **Add a New Schedule Event:** Go to the Data > App Data tab. - **View All Entries:** Go to the "Task" data type and click on "Bulk operations." - **Schedule an API workflow on a list:** Set this to run based on the "Due Date" field or any other applicable timeline condition. - **Set Up Params:** Ensure that your parameters include the task details needed for sending the reminder.   Step 6: Regular Automation   1. **Regular Check:** To ensure reminders are sent regularly, create a recurring workflow that re-checks pending tasks daily or at an interval suited to your needs. 2. **Recurring Event:** You can set a recurring event in Bubble from the Backend Workflows to re-trigger the "SendTaskReminder" workflow regularly.   Conclusion   By following these steps, you would have set up a basic but effective system for automatically sending task reminders to users. Bubble.io’s powerful workflow capabilities make it easy to automate such processes without needing to write a single line of code.
