Tips & tricks

Small habits that make TTM faster and quieter.

Reuse a list anywhere

Use Download to export a list as text, then paste it into a new /tasklist on any server. Great for recurring checklists (releases, onboarding, events).

Clone instead of rebuilding

Running the same list in several channels? Clone list copies it in one step — and lets you decide whether to carry over selections and reminders.

Apply one action to many tasks

Set Behavior on selection to keep status in Configuration. The active button (owner, tag or reminder) stays on after each task, so you can tag five tasks in five clicks instead of fifteen.

Keep the channel quiet

If task notifications feel noisy, switch Notification mode to keep last only — or disable them entirely. Your list always stays up to date regardless.

Reminders that survive the clock change

Use 1d when you mean “same time tomorrow” and 24h when you mean “exactly a day later”. Around daylight-saving switches the two differ by an hour — see Reminders.

Personalize webhooks with free variables

Drop {{owner=alex}} (or any {{key=value}}) into a task’s text and reference {{owner}} in your webhook body. It’s a lightweight way to pass task-specific data without hard-coding it.

Make lists read-only for guests

Sync permissions in Configuration so only your team can edit a list, while everyone else can still read it.
