Due date notification
If a task is late (the due date has passed), please make sure to send a notification to both the owner and anyone related to the task (coworkers, team leader,...).

With all the projects my team is working on, this feature is urgently needed to keep everyone on track.

Do we have an ETA on when this will be completed?

I'm in agreement that this is something I've been looking for a workaround on for a while. Once tasks start adding up, the only way I know if tasks are close to due or overdue is if I scroll through them all which isn't possible with dozens of tasks. Looking forward to seeing this rolled out.

E-mail are send into private group mail box. My team would prefer to have this notification into their own inbox. It would be more convenient for us

Yes please add due date notifications with options about how much notification you would like e.g. 1 day, 3 days, 1 week. This is the only way I can truly rely on this program, otherwise I have to duplicate it in my calendar anyway.

You need to have some sophistication to how alerts are created and managed. Not hard - see above links

I agree that this feature should be included in Planner.

Notifications for upcoming due dates and overdue tasks would be better than just overdue ones because you could prevent the task from becoming overdue.

The lack of task reminders, is preventing me from using Planner with my teams!

YES! I set Due Dates on some of my apps... and found that I missed dates because I got no notification about it.

Also if the due date is approaching f. e. in one week / 3 days, you would get a notification or alert.

To add to this - The ability to turn on reminder notifications x # of days prior to due date.

Absolute must have, alerting on tasks. How else are people supposed to know they have tasks?

Would be great to be able to customize the notifications such that the PM can select when the assigned resource gets notifications (eg, on due date, 1 day before due, 2 days before due). The email should have a link not only to the task in planner, but also to any document/ file that may be included in the task.

This came up in July and notifications are still not an option. Seems silly since some of your computers (Asana) is free and does it.
