I would like to get an e-mail every morning with a list of things/tasks to do on a given day.

Marcin Gabrowski April 17, 2018

I have 7 lists on my board (Monday ... Sunday), in which I have planned tasks for each day. I would like to get an e-mail every morning with a list of things/tasks to do on a given day. How is it easy to do? IFTTT can not list tasks and send them to the e-mail.

Ok so, here's my take: 

 

I can't find an integration to do a "digest" of tasks, but I think you can kind of hack the way Trello works to get this how you like.

Cards with due dates will send a notification 24hrs before the card is due. SO, if you set your Monday cards to be due on 4/16 for instance, you will get emails on 4/15 about your tasks due for tomorrow. In this way though, you will get ONE card for every ONE task due. 

With an email forwarding rule, you could set up a mailbox folder for your task items. You would have to make sure your due dates are correct each day/week. 

There might be other ways, but this is the low-tech, low-config way. 

 

With all this being said, I have to ask what the benefit is of seeing your daily tasks in an email is vs. just opening your Trello board? Trello was kind of built on the premise of having an immediate view of your tasks, and the idea of layering in another service to communicate what's already there seems a bit redundant to me.

Agree with this - it's not built in to the tool because this isn't how the tool was designed to be used. 

Zapier has a Digest function that can collect new cards on a Trello list and release them. This template is for releasing to Slack, but you could swap it out with email: https://zapier.com/app/editor/template/13972

But maybe just adjusting your morning routine to look at your Trello board instead of looking for a digest email might yield you with better results.

I was JUST looking at zapier options, didn't know they had a digest! Sweet! Was fiddling with RSS a moment ago.
