Why/When would need to use a Member-Specific Task List?

1. Project Management: For teams looking to track progress on various projects, allowing each member to see and manage their tasks.
2. E-Learning Platforms: Where students can keep track of their assignments and learning milestones.
3. Fitness Apps: Allowing users to track their workout routines and progress.
4. Event Planning: For coordinators to manage tasks leading up to the event.
5. Personal Productivity Tools: Where individuals can manage their daily tasks and goals.

How to Build a Member-Specific Task List Feature in Webflow

Task lists are widely used in productivity and project management. They serve a simple purpose – to help us overcome the limits of our memory when we want to remember to do something.

Adding these lists to your Webflow site can empower your users to get more done and boost interaction. Let's explore how to create task lists using Memberstack and Webflow.

What Does a Task List Do?

At a minimum, our task list should allow users to:

• Create their own tasks
• View a list of their tasks
• Toggle task completion status

That’s it! Now that we know what we’re building, we can talk about how to make it happen.

Adding a Task List Feature to your Webflow Site

You could try implementing the task list using a combination of Webflow’s CMS functionality and custom scripting. However, we’re going to use Memberstack as a much simpler solution.

We’ll use MemberScripts that interact with Memberstack’s Member JSON to store our task lists. Member JSON is user-specific data associated with a user’s account. This data is saved between user sessions, can be updated, and can be viewed using lists on your site.

We’re going to assume that you already have a Memberstack account set up and the basics down. If you don’t, you can click here to get set up.

1. Creating our Task List in Member JSON 

First, we need to be able to add Item Groups to Member JSON. This is where MemberScript #2 - Add Item Groups To Member JSON can help. The Memberscript tutorial will walk you through creating an Item Group in Member JSON. We’ll use this Item Group as our task list. If you’re having trouble getting your item group created, reach out in our community Slack!

2. Displaying Tasks 

Once tasks are added to the JSON, we need to display them to the user. We can use MemberScript #6 - Create Item Groups From Member JSON to do so. It helps in creating a dynamic list in Webflow that shows each member their specific tasks. Don’t forget to include the delay mentioned in the MemberScript tutorial – otherwise, your page might load before your site can retrieve the tasks.

3. Toggling Task Completion Status 

At this point, we just have a list. We can create and view tasks but have no way of marking them complete. To add interactions to our list, we’ll use Memberscript #12 - Add Items To JSON Groups On Click, which allows members to set an item property on a click event. You can name the property whatever you want, but we’d recommend something descriptive like “complete”.

Conclusie 

By integrating these Memberstack scripts with Webflow, you’ve created a powerful, member-specific task list feature. This functionality can be a game-changer for various applications, from project management to personal productivity. The beauty of this integration is its simplicity and the ability to customize it to fit the unique needs of your Webflow project.

Remember, the key to a successful implementation is understanding your audience's needs and tailoring the task list to provide a seamless and intuitive user experience. With these tools at your disposal, the possibilities are endless. Happy building!
