/config app

Tailor notifications, history, reminders, time zone and permissions with /config app.

Run the command:

/config app

TTM opens a private panel with a summary of your current settings, six dropdowns and two buttons. Nothing here is permanent — change it whenever your team’s needs change.

By default, only members with the Manage Server permission can use /config app, like the rest of /config. See Who can open /config.

Notification mode

Controls how much notification noise the bot leaves in the channel when tasks are selected:

When a tick completes the whole list, its notification says List completed under who ticked it, and so does the history thread.

History tracking

When enabled, every action on your lists is recorded in a dedicated thread, giving you an audit trail of who did what and when. On by default. Lists in voice channels have no history thread, because Discord doesn’t allow threads there: see Voice channels.

Push notification

When enabled, TTM adds plain text alongside embeds, so your mobile push notifications are readable at a glance. Embeds alone often show up empty on a lock screen. On by default. Turning it off never stops a reminder: it arrives with just its card — or, for a role, just the mention.

List appearance

One dropdown with three options: Tips, Completed tasks dimmed and Space around groups. Tick the ones you want on: you can tick all three, some, or none. A list picks up the change the next time it’s updated.

Tips

Help for whoever is new to TTM, in two places:

• when someone runs /create-list, a short explanation of how to write a list, with the Create your list and Tutorial buttons: the new list takes the place of the explanation;
• under every list, a small line that points to the guide in Discord: Not sure what the buttons do? More → Guide, with a link to The task list panel.

On by default: handy while the team is learning the buttons, easy to switch off once everyone knows them. With tips hidden, /create-list opens the creation form straight away, one step fewer, and lists end without the line. Turning Tips off also removes the Tutorial button, which lives in the same explanation: see Getting started. A list picks up the change the next time it’s updated. A locked list still ends with a line that says who is editing it: see When the list is locked. The progress bar stays either way.

Completed tasks dimmed

Shows every completed task in Discord’s smaller, grey text, so what is still to do stands out. On by default; switch it off to show completed tasks like all the others. A list picks up the change the next time it’s updated.

Space around groups

Puts a blank line above and below every task that has subtasks, so each group stands apart from the rest of the list. On by default; switch it off for a more compact list. It changes only the list itself: notifications stay as they are. Discord has no thinner blank line for a list, so the choice is between a full line and none.

Behavior on selection

After you use owner, tag or reminder, this decides whether the button resets to its neutral state or keeps the active mode.

It has two choices: Reset status after selection (the default) and Keep status after selection. The second is useful when you apply the same action to several tasks in a row.

It also changes what Tag and Owner can do. With Reset status after selection, your choice always overwrites. With Keep status after selection, you also get live editing of a task’s existing tags or owner. See Two ways to tag for the full breakdown.

Recurring reminders

Off by default. When it’s off, every reminder is a single event: creating or editing one is a one-step flow — you pick the date and time, nothing else. Simpler and quicker for teams that just need a one-off ping.

Turn it on to unlock repetitions and intervals: reminder creation then uses the two-step flow (a summary screen plus a repetition dialog). See Reminders for the repetition fields.

Recurring reminders are a Premium feature (see What Premium unlocks). On the Free plan this dropdown is shown but switched off. Its note says: “Recurring reminders are a Premium feature: on the Free plan every reminder is a single event. The recurring ones created before keep working.” Your choice isn’t lost: on Premium the dropdown comes back set the way you left it.

A reminder that is already recurring keeps firing even while the toggle is off, or on the Free plan. What you can still change: see Repeating reminders.

Time zone

Sets the time zone your team works in (members can still use their own for reminders). Click the button, then paste an official zone name — look it up on the time zone map (opens in a new tab).

Sync permissions

By default, Discord’s integration permissions only hide commands — the generated buttons and lists stay usable by everyone. Click Load permissions to extend your permission rules to those components too. After syncing, users who aren’t allowed see the list as read-only.

Define the rules in Server Settings → Integrations → Team Tasks Manager, then sync. Channel restrictions are honoured as well: if a channel is off-limits for a user, the lists living there are read-only for them.
