Checklist Due Dates?

Laurie Pepper
May 22, 2026

I have a lot of ongoing projects, and it helps me to set a series of action steps, but I need some way to be reminded to do them, so it helps to set a due date. I've got Trello premium set up so that things do appear on my calendar, but I don't see any way to be reminded of checklist items? Might there be a workaround or some way to do that?

Hi Laurie!

Good news — if you're assigned to a checklist item, Trello automatically sends you both email and bell notifications when it becomes due. So reminders do work for checklist items, but only if you are assigned to each one.

If you have many items and want to avoid assigning yourself manually each time, you can set up an automation rule:

Automation - Rules - Create rule:

  • Trigger: when a checklist item is added to a card
  • Action: assign me to that checklist item

This way every new checklist item you create will automatically have you assigned — and you'll receive reminders without any extra steps.
