5 Simple Ways to Automate Your Todoist

Using a task manager app like Todoist is honestly a game changer. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by a never-ending list of things to do, having an app to help you organize and prioritize can make a huge difference.

With Todoist, you get a clear view of what needs to be done, so you don’t have to rely on your memory (which is usually a little too optimistic).

But the reality is, you can’t always rely on a single app. For example, when a meeting is scheduled in your Google Calendar, you still have to manually update it in your to-do list. Or when a Trello card is created, you need to add it to your to-do list as well.

Luckily, you don’t have to juggle everything manually. You can integrate Todoist with viaSocket to automatically add tasks from other tools and productivity apps to your to-do list—no effort required. Whether it’s syncing your calendar or manging tasks, viaSocket makes task management a breeze by automatically transferring data between Todoist and the other apps you use. It’s like setting up your own productivity autopilot.

1. Turn Slack Messages into Todoist Tasks

When you’re working with a team on Slack, important tasks and action items can get buried in the flood of messages. It’s easy to lose track of something critical discussed in a chat, especially when conversations move quickly and there’s always a new message coming in.

Manually picking out tasks from Slack and adding them to your to-do list can feel like a time-consuming extra step.

Set up an integration between Slack and Todoist using viaSocket to automatically create Todoist tasks whenever you get a new Slack message that requires action.

This way, every time something important comes up in a Slack conversation—whether it’s a task from a team member or a quick reminder—it will automatically be added to your Todoist list.

2. Automatically Add Google Sheets Tasks to Todoist

If you're managing tasks or projects in Google Sheets, it can become tedious to manually transfer each task into Todoist for better tracking and organization. This extra step can lead to mistakes or missed tasks, especially when the list grows long.

By integrating Google Sheets with Todoist with the help of viaSocket, you can automatically create new Todoist tasks whenever you add a row to your spreadsheet.

Whether you’re tracking tasks, project milestones, or deadlines in Google Sheets, this integration ensures that every task is instantly added to your Todoist list without any manual effort.

This way, you can manage your to-dos in one place and easily keep track of progress without switching between platforms.

3. Turn Important Emails into Actions

Emails often contain important tasks or action items that can easily get lost in the inbox. Manually turning these emails into tasks takes time, and sometimes, they slip through the cracks, especially when your inbox gets overwhelming.

Set up a Workflows between Gmail and Todoist to automatically create a Todoist task every time you receive an email with a specific label, subject line, or keyword.

This integration ensures that important emails are immediately converted into actionable tasks, so you don’t have to worry about forgetting to follow up on them.

Whether it’s an email from a client, a project update, or a meeting reminder, this Workflows helps you stay organized by turning every relevant email into a task on your to-do list, keeping you on track and reducing the clutter in your inbox.

4. Transform Evernote Notes into Tasks

It’s easy to jot down ideas, reminders, or meeting notes in Evernote, but turning those notes into actionable tasks often requires extra effort.

Manually copying and pasting information from Evernote into Todoist can be time-consuming, especially when you have multiple notes to process.

With viaSocket, you can automatically create Todoist tasks from new Evernote notes, streamlining the process and saving you time. Whenever you add a new note in Evernote, whether it’s a quick idea, a detailed reminder, or meeting notes, viaSocket can instantly create a corresponding task in Todoist.

This ensures that your notes don’t just sit there, but are transformed into actionable tasks that show up directly in your Todoist list, keeping you organized and focused on what needs to be done.

5. Sync Asana Tasks with Todoist

When you're managing tasks in multiple platforms, such as Asana and Todoist, it’s easy to lose track of important tasks or updates. You might forget to transfer tasks between the platforms, or even worse, miss crucial tasks altogether.

With viaSocket, you can automatically add your Asana tasks to Todoist, keeping everything in sync without the extra manual work. Every time you create or update a task in Asana, viaSocker will instantly add it to your Todoist list, ensuring that no task gets overlooked when switching between platforms.

This integration streamlines your workflow, allowing you to manage your tasks in one place, stay organized, and never miss an important action item again.
