Overdue Automation Rule

Every Syncupp Kanban board includes built-in automated deadline monitoring to prevent missed deliverables.

Syncupp Automated Overdue Column on Kanban Board
Tasks past their due date automatically transition into the designated Overdue workflow column

How the Overdue Automation Works

  1. When a task's due date passes and the card has not been moved to Done, the system automatically moves it to the Overdue column.
  2. One-Time Move Protection: Once a card is moved to Overdue, if an admin or assignee manually drags it back to another stage (e.g., In Progress), the automation will not interfere again.
  3. Extending Deadlines: If you grant an extension by selecting a future due date, the card automatically returns to its previous active column.
  4. Renaming the Column: If you rename the Overdue column to another custom name, automated deadline transitions are safely disabled for that board. Rename it back to "Overdue" at any time to re-enable automated routing.
