Card Icons power-up example

Automatic icons for smarter task management

Icons appear automatically on cards that match your preset criteria using search and filtering syntax. For example:

  • A flag icon for tasks that haven’t been updated in 10 days

  • A bell icon for tasks with a filled-out “phone number” custom field

This allows you to quickly recognize important details without digging through each task.

Manual icon selection for more control

Prefer to assign icons manually? You can!
Just use a custom dropdown field with up to 10 options labeled with your preferred icon names.
