Added:
  • Zapier Integration Beta: We have a private beta the Zapier integration. If you want to get access, please email support@sunsama.com (or use the support chat bubble) and we'll enable the Zapier integration for you to try it out and help us improve it.
Improved:
  • Outlook emails without a subject get a nicer task title when imported by URL.
  • Improved how tasks load in to ClickUp's Home view so that your most important tasks (overdue and today) load first and also adding pagination to each section in the home view.
Fixed:
  • Adding a subtask with
    >
    directive now works when used before entering a task title.
  • Fixed an issue that caused users to create two workspaces when onboarding (which would lead to confusion later on).
Updates on recent outages
Two weeks ago, Friday March 29, Sunsama experienced a major outage. You may have seen your tasks not load in or only partially load in during this outage.
We noticed the issue a few minutes after it began and starting upgrading our infrastructure immediately to counteract this issue. The issue was resolved a few hours later.
The following Monday, we experienced a similar issue for a small subset of power users, which we fixed again in with a few hours.
We've identified and patched the root cause of the performance issues from both incidents now.
We're extremely sorry about the brief outage and appreciate everyone's patience and compassion as we worked to get it resolved 🙏🏽
Added:
  • Use
    >
    in the add task modal to add a subtask/merge a task during task creation. For more info, check out this post.
Improved:
  • It's now possible to merge a task into a task that has been timeboxed to the calendar.
  • Task keyboard shortcuts have been organized into more sections.
  • Tasks linked to objectives are highlighted in green in the objective card when the task is complete.
Fixed:
  • Todoist tasks with URLs copied from their mobile app are now detected correctly for importing them.
  • When creating a task with a channel or context selected, set the channel of the task to the currently selected channel instead of the AI recommended value.
  • Fixed an issue that made shortcut G not open Outlook emails in the email client.
  • Fixed an issue that showed the wrong list of channels when creating a task via Slack.
  • Fixed an issue that allowed users to auto-schedule a task that was from a meeting already on the calendar.
  • Fixed an issue that caused recurring tasks to expire and not show in the kanban in cases where they had been timeboxed to the calendar on a day where there was another instance of that task already.
  • Fixed channel filtering for the archive panel.
  • Make focus mode keyboard shortcut honor preference about default vs pomodoro view.
  • Fixed an issue with timeboxed event showing at the wrong time if your Outlook timezone is set to "Mountain Standard Time (Mexico)" e.g. Mazatlan.
You can now create a new subtask via the add task modal using keyboard shortcut
>
during task creation.
While creating your new task in the modal, simply type
>
to bring up a list of parent tasks to merge into. When you create the task, this new task will have been added as a subtask of that parent task you selected.
Here's a video demo:
Over the past couple of weeks, we've heard from a lot of you about issues with the mobile app's synchronization and refresh. We've worked diligently over the past couple weeks to try and resolve every single report we've gotten. We are fairly confident that these sync issues have now been resolved. Just make sure to install the latest version of our mobile app!
👋 If you are still running into any issues with synchronization, please drop us a note at support@sunsama.com so we can look into your specific issue and get that fixed for you.
We're very sorry that the sync was on the fritz for a couple weeks and appreciate all of you that reached out alerting us of the issues.
Improved:
  • Dramatically improved initial load time.
  • Improved UX and Channel prediction for users that don’t have many tasks.
Fixed:
  • Fixed an issue that caused channels to not show in auto-generated daily planning text.
  • Fixed an issue that caused the archive to show a badge indicating that there were new archived tasks since the last check when there were not.
  • Fixed an issue that resulted in the timezone warning to not show as often as it should.
  • Cleaned up auto-imported "ghost events" that had been deleted or cancelled from appearing in task lists.
The "Daily wrap" helps you create an impressive visual summary of your workday that you can share with your colleagues, even if they don't use Sunsama.
Sunsama does all the hard work of helping you include links to your work and helping you summarize your day.

How it works:
  • When you shutdown your day, you'll be asked to author your daily wrap.
  • Sunsama pulls together a relevant list of your work for the day and can even summarize the work you did in other tools, even if you didn't plan and execute your day in Sunsama.
  • The wrap includes a write-up of your work for the day, highlights and links to work you did in other tools, and overview of your workload for the day.
  • You can share the wrap with colleagues via URL, send them an email asking them to look it over, or post it into Slack/Teams.
  • Colleagues and managers can react and comment giving you feedback on your work that day.
Here's how you can author and share your Daily Wrap:
If you use Sunsama as a team, you can do everything above and your wrap will also get published into the "daily feed" where you can catch up on all your colleagues daily updates with reactions and comments. Using the Daily Feed should can fully replace your daily standup meeting.
The "Daily wrap" is currently in closed beta and we're slowly letting new customers in as we iterate and improve on it.
👉 If you need to share your daily progress with managers or colleagues, drop us a note at support@sunsama.com or in the chat bubble asking for access.
Added:
Merge tasks
feature is now live. Please check out our recent post for more information.
Planned time recommendations for subtasks:
  • You can now toggle AI: planned time recommendations for main tasks and/or subtasks. This way you can have AI assign planned times for your regular tasks but not your subtasks, or vice versa.

Improved:
  • In the Todoist panel, do not show filters that include the
    ,
    operator since these are not supported by Todoist's API and cannot be loaded.
Fixed:
  • Todoist's latest task urls are now supported for adding by url.
  • Channels assigned to Asana tasks are no longer being overridden.
  • Do not show the warning that a task needs a planned time for a brief moment when creating your daily shutdown task during daily planning.
  • Fixed an issue that caused channels to not show in auto-generated daily planning text.
  • Fixed an issue that causes the OS X Desktop to crash when you quit from the app switcher (
    CMD Tab
    ,
    CMD Quit
    ).
  • Fixed an issue that caused Todoist filters to return empty results when the filter is written in a non-English language.
  • Fixed regression that caused Google Calendar webhooks to break resulting in events created in Google not showing up immediately in Sunsama.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented using “Add by URL” in Microsoft Edge.
We're pleased to announce that Sunsama is now available as an iPad app and Android tablet app.
The tablet app provides a fully-featured experience of Sunsama that matches what you get on Sunsama's web and desktop apps. You can see multiple days at once, drag and drop tasks and events, see and import from your integrations, enable different views, use rituals such as Daily Planning, and more.
You should already notice this if you have the app installed on your tablet device. If not, just download the app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store respectively.
Please reach out to us using the in-app support chat bubble if you experience any issues.
The ability to merge tasks is now available to everyone.
To merge one task into another as a subtask, simply hold down
alt
or
option
on your keyboard, pick up a task with your mouse, and drop it onto another task. The task will be merged in as a subtask and maintains its notes, planned time, and integrated information.
Tasks from integrations:
Tasks from integrations (e.g. Gmail, Todoist, etc) can be merged as well. When merged as subtasks, they will still be fully integrated, synced tasks from their originating tool.
You can merge tasks directly from the integration panel rather than needing to first import the task to your task list.
Subtask actions:
When hovering over a subtask, you can use some keyboard shortcuts previously reserved for main tasks, such as
Spacebar
to start the timer,
G
to open it in its originating tool, and
H
to show its integration preview.
You can also revert the merging of a task by hovering over the subtask and clicking "convert to task".
