Why did I create this template?

Timelines on Notion are great, but if you've got a lot of work to do that needs to be done in a particular order and where some things can't be started before something else finishes, you'll find yourself manually updating all the entries on your timeline. Nobody wants that!

With this Automated Notion Timelines template, all you have to do is set the number of days something will take to complete and link it to the task that comes before. Done! Each linked task will automatically update when the one changes.

I created this template for anyone who uses the timeline and wants to have the dates of sub-tasks automatically update based on the parent task.

What's inside the template?

A simple tasks table view and a timeline view to visualise your projects over time.

How to use the template?

• Start by defining a task that needs doing.
• Set a start date for that task and set a number of days you want to assign to that task You will see the Timeline Start Date and Timeline End Date be automatically populated from what you entered above.
• You will see the Timeline Start Date and Timeline End Date be automatically populated from what you entered above.
• Now add another task. This one will be linked to the first task via the Notion Relation property called Parent Item.
• Set the Parent Item to point to the first task you created.
• Set the number of days you want to assign to that task. You will see the Timeline Start Date being automatically populated with the Timeline End Date of the Parent Item task
• You will see the Timeline Start Date being automatically populated with the Timeline End Date of the Parent Item task

What are the benefits of the template?

You don't have to manually update the dates whenever a deadline isn't met that throws out the rest of the project.
