About Todoist

Todoist is a leading task management and productivity platform that helps individuals and teams organize tasks, manage projects, and track progress. Users leverage Todoist to create tasks with natural language input, organize work into projects, set priorities with color-coded levels, collaborate through task assignment and commenting, and track productivity trends with calendar views and analytics.

The Todoist REST API enables developers to:

• Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow with bearer token access

• Access and manage tasks, projects, sections, labels, and comments

• Create tasks with due dates, priorities, labels, and subtasks

• Set recurring tasks with custom patterns

• Assign tasks to team members and track completion

• Filter and search tasks by project, priority, label, or custom criteria

• Subscribe to webhooks for real-time notifications on task and project changes

• Integrate with productivity tools across the workspace ecosystem

Why Integrate Todoist with Emergent?

Connecting Todoist directly often requires setting up OAuth 2.0 flows, managing bearer tokens, handling API rate limits (1000 requests per user per 15 minutes), parsing REST API responses, implementing task filtering logic, building natural language parsing, wiring webhooks, and creating a user interface, each integration can quickly turn into a significant engineering project.

Emergent removes that complexity:

• Build by prompt, describe the task management app you want and the Todoist data you need, Emergent automatically scaffolds the UI, orchestration, data models, and integrations.

• Authentication-aware setup, Emergent understands Todoist's OAuth 2.0 authorization flow and bearer token management, and guides you through secure credential management with encrypted key vaults.

• Task-aware data mapping, Emergent introspects your Todoist workspace, understands tasks, projects, labels, priorities, filters, and collaboration settings, and helps you map data accurately.

• Secure by design, features include encrypted key vaults, environment isolation, role-based access, and audit-friendly logs, making it suitable for teams with strict data handling and compliance requirements.

• Real-time workflows, webhooks for task and project changes, scheduled syncs, retries, backoff, caching, batching, and error handling are built in for reliability.

• Orchestrate multiple tools, combine Todoist with Slack, Trello, Salesforce, Google Sheets, and Asana to build complete systems such as task notification hubs, unified board management platforms, CRM task trackers, productivity analytics dashboards, and cross-platform project management systems.

How Emergent Works with Todoist in Real Time?

STEP 1: Describe your app

Example: "Build a task automation system that posts Todoist task completions to Slack, syncs high-priority tasks with Salesforce opportunities, and tracks weekly productivity in Google Sheets."

STEP 2: Declare integrations

Say "Todoist + Slack + Salesforce + Google Sheets." Emergent sets up providers, authentication, and recommended connection methods (OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow).

STEP 3: Secure credentials

Provide your Todoist app credentials (Client ID, Client Secret) and configure OAuth redirect URLs. Keys are stored in an encrypted vault with environment isolation (development, staging, production).

STEP 4: Select projects and map tasks

Emergent automatically introspects your Todoist workspace, including projects, sections, labels, filters, and team members.

It then guides you to map data accurately (for example, completed task → Slack notification, P1 priority task → Salesforce activity, weekly task count → Google Sheets row).

STEP 5: Real-time and scheduled flows

Configure webhook triggers for Todoist events (task completed, task added, project updated, label assigned), set up scheduled syncs, or define on-demand actions such as bulk task creation triggered by button clicks in the app.

STEP 6: Test and preview

Run test queries, simulate webhook payloads, validate task creation and priority assignment logic, check logs, and automatically handle rate limits.

STEP 7: Deploy

Deploy your app with one click, complete with versioning, monitoring, error alerts, and usage analytics. You can easily roll back or iterate on prompts.

STEP 8: Expand

Add new steps like AI-powered task suggestions using Task Assist, connect additional tools, and integrate team workspaces without any rewrites.
