Frequently Asked Questions about Gmail + Todoist integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Gmail and Todoist
How do I set up the Gmail and Todoist integration?
To set up the Gmail and Todoist integration, you need to connect both accounts through our platform. Once connected, you'll be able to create workflows where, for example, every starred email in Gmail can trigger a new task creation in Todoist.
Can I create tasks in Todoist from specific emails in Gmail?
Yes, you can create tasks in Todoist from specific emails by setting up a filter in Gmail. When an email matches this filter, it can trigger an action to add a task in Todoist with details from the email.
Is it possible to attach email content to tasks created in Todoist?
Absolutely! When creating a task via the integration, you can choose to include email content as notes or attachments within your new Todoist task.
How do I ensure that only certain emails create tasks in Todoist?
You can specify triggers such as labels or stars within your Gmail settings. Only emails that meet these criteria will initiate the creation of tasks in your Todoist account.
What happens if an email is deleted after a task is created in Todoist?
The integration does not automatically update or delete corresponding tasks if an email is deleted. After creation, your tasks remain unchanged unless manually modified or removed within Todoist.
Can I customize what information is included when a task is added from Gmail?
Yes, when setting up the integration, you can choose which parts of the email such as subject line or body text are included as part of your new task's details in Todoist.
Will changes made to a task in Todoist reflect back on my emails in Gmail?
Changes made to tasks within Todoist will not affect your original emails. The integration is one-way—from Gmail into creating tasks—and does not sync back changes from Todoist into Gmail.
