Frequently Asked Questions about Todoist + Trello integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Todoist and Trello
Can I automatically create a card in Trello when I add a task in Todoist?
Yes, you can set up a trigger to automatically create a Trello card whenever a new task is added in Todoist. This involves configuring the integration to monitor for new tasks and subsequently generate cards in the specified Trello board.
How do I link specific projects in Todoist with boards in Trello?
When setting up the integration, you can specify particular projects from Todoist that correspond to certain boards within Trello. This ensures that tasks from these projects will trigger actions specifically within those Trello boards.
Is it possible to sync due dates between Todoist tasks and Trello cards?
We facilitate syncing due dates so that when a due date is set or updated on a Todoist task, it is reflected on the corresponding Trello card. You need to configure this as part of the action step in your integration setup.
What happens if I complete a task in Todoist, can it update the status on Trello?
Yes, completing a task in Todoist can be set as a trigger to update the status of an associated card on your Trello board. The action could involve moving the card to another list that represents completion or marking it with a different label.
How do we handle subtasks from Todoist on Trello boards?
Subtasks in Todoist can be configured to either create separate cards or be added as checklists within an existing card, depending on how you want them managed on your Trello board.
Can changes made directly in Trello reflect back into my Todoist tasks?
While our integration primarily focuses on pushing updates from Todoist to Trello, you can configure certain reciprocal actions such as triggering alerts or adding comments back into Todoist when specific changes occur on your Trello board.
Are there any limitations when integrating recurring tasks from Todoist with Trello?
Recurring tasks present unique challenges. While we support creating an initial corresponding action within Trello, repeating instances need additional configuration or manual intervention due to varied recurring patterns available within each platform.
Practical ways you can use Todoist and Trello
Move completed tasks to Trello.
Streamline task management by automating the organization of completed tasks. For instance, when a task is marked as completed in Todoist, Zapier will automatically create a corresponding card in Trello for easier tracking and collaboration. Business owners can ensure their team is always in sync with completed deliverables, saving time and reducing miscommunication.
Business Owner

Enhance IT tracking processes by creating a Todoist task every time a bug or issue is tracked in Trello. Zapier can automate this task transfer, letting IT teams stay focused on resolving issues quickly without manually updating tasks. The workflow improves ticket tracking accuracy and overall response times.
ITSync new Trello cards with Todoist.
Ensure no task or project is overlooked by syncing tools effectively. When a new card is added in Trello, Zapier will create a task in Todoist automatically. This integration helps project managers stay on top of their schedules, maintain clear accountability, and improve productivity by reducing duplicate efforts between tools.
