E-mail Todoist

Keep E-mail and Todoist updated automatically.

This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in E-mail lands in Todoist by itself, in the shape Todoist expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.

The problem

What this connector takes off your hands

  • Today you create the task yourself when something needs following up, or you just remember it. The second one fails eventually, usually on exactly the case that mattered.

What you get out of it

What E-mail to Todoist saves you

  • Turn every message arriving via E-mail into a Todoist task automatically.
The link

What travels across the link

Everything this connector moves between E-mail and Todoist, and how often.

  1. Tasks

    to Todoist automatically

    This lands in Todoist as a task in the list or project you choose, so follow-up does not depend on someone remembering.

  2. Rows

    to Todoist automatically

    This arrives in Todoist as a new row, so your overview stays complete without you retyping anything.

Both sides

What each side expects

E-mail and Todoist do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.

Todoist

Todoist wants a project and a task name. Without a due date or a label the task disappears among the rest, so it is worth agreeing up front where tasks land.

In four steps

Setting it up

  1. 01

    Request the connector

    Let us know you want to link E-mail to Todoist. We get in touch within 24 hours with a timeline.

  2. 02

    We agree what should travel

    Together we settle what should travel out of E-mail. Todoist wants a project and a task name. Without a due date or a label the task disappears among the rest, so it is worth agreeing up front where tasks land.

  3. 03

    We build and test

    You see the connector run on a few test records before anything becomes final.

What you need

  • Access to the workspace or channel the notifications should land in.

Common questions

Can you connect E-mail to Todoist?

Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of E-mail and Todoist, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.

Which Todoist project or list do the tasks land in?

The project or list you choose. That keeps everything in one place rather than scattered, and follow-up does not depend on someone remembering.

Can I decide what goes into the Todoist task or row?

Yes. When setting it up you pick which details from E-mail come along, so a task or row in Todoist has just enough context.

What does connecting E-mail and Todoist cost?

You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.

How often does E-mail sync with Todoist?

That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.

What if E-mail or Todoist is briefly unavailable?

Nothing gets lost. Schakel retries later and the log shows exactly what happened, so at most you notice something coming through a little later.

How do I connect E-mail to Todoist?

You give Schakel access to E-mail and Todoist once and pick what should travel. We set it up together with you, so no technical knowledge is needed, and after that it runs by itself.

Is my E-mail data safe in this connector?

Your credentials are stored encrypted and we only process what is needed to update Todoist. We sell nothing on and comply with the GDPR.

Missing something you need?

Tell us what E-mail and Todoist should do for you. If it is not in here yet, that is usually because nobody has asked. We build on request and we reply within 24 hours.
