Microsoft To Do
· #155 most-usedEvery to-do, acted on — not just listed
Microsoft To Do is Microsoft's cloud task manager: personal lists, due dates, and reminders that sync across every device. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can create tasks the moment work appears, complete them when it ships, and react to every status change — turning a simple checklist tool into an active part of your automation stack.
Eliminates manual work. Agents handle the repetitive task of manually transcribing action items from emails, messages, and meeting notes into the correct To Do lists.
What your Microsoft To Do agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
Microsoft To Do × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
Support ticket resolved, onboarding task closed
When a support email confirms a customer's onboarding issue is resolved, your agent reads the open tasks in the client's Microsoft To Do onboarding list, marks the blocking item complete, and posts a concise resolution summary in the account's Slack channel—then drops a 48-hour check-in on Google Calendar so the CSM follows up before the customer has a chance to forget the fix.
Time saved for your team — every week, on autopilot
