Common default states include:
Pre-Trip – tasks due before launch
Day-Of – tasks for the morning or day of the trip
Post-Trip – wrap-up items like reports or reviews
You can add as many custom states as needed. For example:
“One Week Out”
“Evening Before”
“Shuttle Return”
Each state allows you to assign timing (e.g. "2 days before trip") and stack tasks beneath it. Tasks only appear when their state becomes active.
Checklist System Roadmap
Learn how to build, customize, and manage checklists in Brindlechute to streamline every trip from start to finish.
1. What Are Trip States?
Trip states organize checklist timing—like pre-trip, day-of, or post-trip—and determine when tasks appear.
2. What Are Smart Tasks?
Smart tasks auto-complete when system actions occur, such as assigning a guide or collecting client documents.
3. How to Create a New Checklist
Build checklists while setting up an experience—define states, add tasks, and automate your workflow.
4. Using Checklists to Track Trip Progress
Track which tasks are done, what’s coming up, and what’s overdue across every trip in real time.
5. Checklist Best Practices: Experience-Level vs. Trip-Level
Add tasks at the experience level for reuse—trip-level edits won’t carry over. Contact support if changes need to apply retroactively.
