Connectors / Connecting Todoist

Connecting Todoist Beginner

Connect Todoist so your bot can work in it for you. This guide explains what that means, how to connect it in a few clicks, and practical things to try.

What you'll learn

  • What connecting Todoist lets your bot do
  • How to connect it step by step
  • How to stay in control and disconnect

Before you start

1. What Todoist is and why connect it

Todoist is a to-do list app. A connector is a link that lets your bot work inside an app for you, instead of you clicking around yourself. Once Todoist is connected, you can just ask in plain words and your bot does the work in Todoist. New to connectors? Read What is a connector first.

2. Connect Todoist

  1. Open Grok Bot and click Connect apps in the sidebar. (Or just type "Connect Todoist" to your bot; it can show a Connect card right in the chat.)
  2. Find Todoist in the list. If you can't find it, ask your bot; which connectors appear can depend on your account.
  3. Click to connect. Your web browser opens Todoist's own sign-in page.
  4. Sign in there and read what access it asks for, then approve. Your password goes to Todoist, never into the chat.
  5. Come back to Grok Bot and test it with a simple request, like one of the ideas below.

3. What your bot can do with it

Exactly which actions are available depends on the connector's current tools. If you're not sure, ask: "What can you do with Todoist?"

4. Staying in control

A connected app is available to every bot on your account. Bots draft messages and changes for your approval, and risky actions are checked by Auto-review (see Safety and approvals). To cut access later, remove the connection on the Todoist side (Todoist Help) or ask your bot how to disconnect it.

Ideas to try

  • Quick capture.
    Add tasks: call the bank tomorrow, buy printer ink, renew car registration Friday.
  • Today.
    What's due today in Todoist?
  • Done.
    Mark 'buy printer ink' as complete.
  • From email.
    Turn the to-dos in this email into Todoist tasks.

Tips

  • Start with read-only requests (search, list, summarize) before asking for changes.
  • If you have more than one account, tell the bot which one to use.
  • If Todoist stops responding, ask your bot to check the connection. You may just need to sign in again.
