Frequently Asked Questions about Todoist + OmniFocus integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Todoist and OmniFocus
How do I integrate Todoist with OmniFocus?
To integrate Todoist with OmniFocus, you'll need to use workflows that connect these platforms through triggers and actions. Our automation tool allows you to select specific tasks in Todoist as triggers that, when activated, add or update tasks in OmniFocus.
Can I set up a workflow to automatically move tasks from Todoist to OmniFocus?
Yes, you can set up a workflow where a completed task in Todoist triggers the creation of a task in OmniFocus. Use our interface to define the conditions under which this trigger should activate and automate the transfer of task information.
Is it possible to sync due dates between Todoist and OmniFocus?
While direct syncing of due dates is not available, you can create workflows where changes in due dates on Todoist tasks trigger updates on corresponding tasks in OmniFocus. This keeps your schedules coordinated across both apps.
What happens if a task is deleted in Todoist? Will it be removed from OmniFocus as well?
Currently, deleting a task in Todoist will not automatically delete it in OmniFocus through our integration. You can consider setting up alerts on Todoist deletions or manually removing the corresponding tasks from OmniFocus.
Can I customize what information is transferred from Todoist to OmniFocus during integration?
Absolutely! Our tool allows you to choose which fields such as task name, due date, priority, and notes are transferred when setting up your integration between Todoist and OmniFocus.
Are there any limitations on integrating subtasks between these two apps?
Yes, currently most integrations treat subtasks like main tasks. We recommend checking how subtasks are represented post-integration so adjustments can be made manually if necessary.
How frequently does data sync occur between Todoist and Omnifocus once set up?
Data synchronization frequency can vary based on how you've configured your integration. Usually, triggers activate events almost instantly once the conditions are met, but responses depend on both applications' current state.
