Ability to schedule recurring notifications for a task. Useful for daily todo items that you want to be sent via email. Users can see the daily notification on their mobile device if they are away from their computer and disconnected from the company’s intranet or internal systems.
OrbitalWP Roadmap
Under Review
Configure response/resolve targets by category, priority, assignee, or related content, then escalate overdue SLA breaches. Existing due-soon/overdue notifications are task reminders, not policy-driven SLA management.
CSV/JSON import with dry-run validation, field mapping, custom field matching, relationship linking, and rollback logs. This would help onboarding from Asana/Trello/spreadsheets without being another report.
Add blocks, blocked by, and dependency lag rules between tasks, with Timeline/Calendar warnings and critical-path visibility. Existing subtasks are hierarchy, not dependency modeling.
Trigger/action rules like “when priority becomes High, assign to X,” “when due date is missed, move to Escalated,” or “when task is approved, create follow-up subtasks.” This extends notifications and scheduled reminders without duplicating them.
Send task and project data to external tools when events happen in OrbitalWP. Choose which events trigger a webhook: task created, updated, completed, status changed, or comment added. Point each webhook at a URL and OrbitalWP sends a POST request with the event data as JSON.
Webhooks can be scoped to a specific project or board, or set to fire on any matching event across the site. Failed deliveries retry automatically with backoff, and a delivery log shows the status and response for each attempt.
Each webhook includes a signing secret so the receiving endpoint can verify the request came from OrbitalWP.
Webhook configuration follows the same permission system as everything else. Only users with admin rights on a project can create or edit webhooks for it.
Planned
Ability to add comments and tag users with mentions.
Comments and mentions will load in the offcanvas component.
In Progress
Complete
- Update user interface to span tasks across days
- New Agenda view mode inside calendar
- New filters for viewing tasks in the calendar
- New settings to display calendar by OrbitalWP out of the box custom fields (priority, completion, assignee etc.)
Set any task to repeat on a schedule. Choose daily, weekly, monthly, or a custom interval in days. Pick whether the next instance is created on a fixed date or a set number of days after the previous instance is marked complete.
When a recurring task is completed, OrbitalWP creates the next instance automatically. Custom fields, checklists, subtasks, and assignees carry over. The recurrence ends on a chosen date, after a set number of occurrences, or runs indefinitely.
Recurrence rules follow the same permission system as everything else. Only users with edit rights on the parent task can change the schedule. Assigned users can still complete each instance as it comes up.
