I wanted to know how to trigger a task every other week. Could any one please give me some step by step instructions how to do this? Btw, the task I want to repeat is a notification.

  1. Create your Tasker profile as you would normally do.
  2. Then in the Tasker App Homescreen where all profiles are listed, long press your desired profile.
  3. Select settings icon from top nav that appears.
  4. Under the new screen set "Cooldown Time". (in your case set it to 14 days)

Now the Profile will fire up its tasks every 2 weeks. This is the best way to go about it.

A more tedious method,

1. Add New "Day" Profile

Add New "Day" Profile

2. Select Week Day from drop-down

Select Week Day from drop-down

The Tasks under above profile will be repeated each week on Sunday midnight.

  • Thanks, but I wanted it to repeat every second week. – bmaliel Jan 30 '15 at 04:34
  • Well the way i can think of this is by adding a "wait" Action under Day Profile and set it to the time equal to 7 days. That should work. You might want to change the Profile then or else it will be triggered on every selected week day & 7 days after each. – Ashesh Jan 30 '15 at 04:39
  • Would it be possible for you to elaborate on how to use the wait action? – bmaliel Jan 30 '15 at 04:56
  • After creating a "profile" (Application/Day/Evnet/Location/State/Time) as per your requirements, create new "Task" which is basically a set of "actions" that u create. In Actions look for Wait Task to Stop executing the current Task for the specified amount of time (ms,s,m,h,day). To create any profile, tasks etc. tap the "+" button at the bottom nav of tasker app. – Ashesh Jan 30 '15 at 17:49

  • When I long press on the profile, I can't seem to find the settings icon, only the rename, delete, export and select all options – bmaliel Jan 31 '15 at 02:52
  • Actually don't worry about it, I was in beginner's mode. Thanks for your help – bmaliel Jan 31 '15 at 02:59

An alternative is to set up a profile that is triggered based on Time. Then uncheck 'From' and 'Until', check 'Repeat' and set it to 336 hours (2 weeks).
