Weather-Suggested Custom Lists

Why a Custom List appears under "Suggested" on To-Do, and how to set up weather, forecast, and sensor Recommendations.

What Is the Suggested Section?

When a Custom List's conditions match your site right now, it appears under a blue Suggested header at the top of To-Do — on the iPhone app, the same section is called Recommended for Today. Each chip names the list and the reason it came up — for example the weather condition that matched.

It is a recommendation, not an assignment: the suggestion itself creates nothing until someone opens the list. Ignoring it is fine — the suggestion disappears once conditions pass, or once the list has been opened for the day. (This is separate from a list's Schedule: a scheduled list is created automatically at its set time whether or not anyone opens it. A list can have both.)

What Can Trigger a Suggestion?

  • Weather — rain, snow, storm, wind, hot, or cold happening now, read from the site's live forecast (the same one on the Site Dashboard card)
  • Forecast — the next 24 hours' high or low crossing a temperature you choose (for example "suggest the freeze-prep list when the forecast low drops below 32°F")
  • Sensor temperature — a temperature reading from a paired sensor at the site
  • The list's name — a list with no Recommendations configured is still suggested when its name contains a weather word (a list called "Rain Day Prep" surfaces whenever it rains). Adding any explicit trigger turns name matching off for that list.

Setting It Up

  1. Go to To-DoEdit tasks → the Lists tab
  2. Click the Custom List you want suggested
  3. Open its Recommendations section
  4. Pick the weather conditions, forecast threshold, or sensor trigger that should surface it
  5. Save

Who Sees What

Technicians and above can open a suggested list with one click — opening creates the list's tasks for today. Managers also get suggested-but-not-started lists called out in the daily summary email, so a rainy-day list nobody opened doesn't slip by.
