Every task captured, prioritised, and acted on — automatically

ProductivityProjectsSchedulingDocumentsAutomation

TickTick is your team's personal task command centre, syncing to-do lists, due dates, and priorities across every device in real time. Connect it to Actionist and your agents take over the maintenance work: creating tasks the instant a trigger fires, marking items complete when upstream actions finish, reorganising projects as context shifts, and surfacing what's overdue before anyone has to ask. Tasks stop falling through the cracks because a human forgot to log them — the agent logs them first.

Eliminates manual work. Agents eliminate the per-task manual overhead of creating, updating, prioritising, and filing tasks across projects — typically 3–5 minutes of friction per item, multiplied across dozens of weekly triggers.

Escalate urgent support tickets to TickTick

When a priority email lands in your support inbox, the agent checks TickTick for any open escalation tasks tied to that customer, creates a new task with the full email thread attached, and notifies the support lead in Slack with a direct link — all before a human has had a chance to spot it. Every urgent request becomes a tracked, assigned task within seconds, and a follow-up calendar block ensures nothing slips past the 24-hour SLA window.

Without Actionist
With TickTick agent
  • Sales
    Manually create follow-up tasks after each call
    A rep finishes a discovery call and spends 4–5 minutes opening TickTick, writing the task, setting the due date, and adding deal notes — repeated for every call in the pipeline.
    18 min/week
    Sales Agent
    Agent creates and assigns follow-up tasks instantly
    When a call ends in the CRM, the agent creates a TickTick task with the deal name, next-step notes, and due date pre-filled — the rep's list is updated before the call recording even finishes processing.
  • Marketing
    Hand-enter campaign milestone tasks from the brief
    A campaign manager reads the approved brief and manually creates a TickTick task for each milestone — copy deadline, design review, launch day, post-launch report — one by one, with no consistent format.
    13 min/week
    Marketing Agent
    Agent builds the full milestone task list from the brief
    When a campaign brief is approved, the agent reads it, creates a TickTick task for every milestone with correct due dates and owners, and posts the task links to the campaign Slack channel.
  • Customer Support
    Log every escalation as a manual TickTick task
    A support lead reads a priority email, decides it warrants tracking, switches to TickTick, recreates the context from memory, sets priority and due date, then returns to the helpdesk — 3–4 minutes per escalation.
    18 min/week
    Customer Support Agent
    Agent turns urgent emails into tracked tasks in seconds
    The moment a high-priority support email lands, the agent creates a TickTick escalation task with the full thread context, sets the SLA due date, and pings the lead in Slack — zero manual steps.
  • Human Resources
    Copy onboarding action items into TickTick by hand
    When a new hire is confirmed, an HR coordinator manually creates a TickTick checklist — equipment order, system access, first-week schedule — from a template they keep in a separate document.
    7 min/week
    Human Resources Agent
    Agent generates the onboarding checklist automatically
    When a new hire record is created, the agent reads the onboarding template and creates every checklist task in TickTick with correct owners and due dates, ready for the first day.
  • Finance
    Manually track finance deadlines in TickTick
    A finance analyst reads the planning calendar, identifies report and compliance deadlines, and creates TickTick tasks by hand — prone to omission when the calendar is busy or someone is on leave.
    13 min/week
    Finance Agent
    Agent converts every finance deliverable into a tracked task
    When a new deliverable is added to the finance planning page, the agent creates a TickTick task with the hard due date, a one-week-early reminder, and a priority flag — no deadline slips past unlogged.
  • Operations
    Transfer spreadsheet action items to TickTick manually
    After a vendor review or audit, an ops coordinator copies each action item from the notes spreadsheet into TickTick one row at a time, manually setting priority, due date, and assignee for each entry.
    25 min/week
    Operations Agent
    Agent syncs action items from the spreadsheet automatically
    When a new row is added to the ops tracker, the agent reads the action item, checks for duplicates, and creates a TickTick task with correct priority and due date — the tracker and the task list stay in sync without anyone bridging them.
  • Legal
    Manually log contract review tasks in TickTick
    A paralegal receives a new contract, opens TickTick, creates a review task with the contract name and deadline, and attaches the file separately — a four-step process repeated for every incoming agreement.
    6 min/week
    Legal Agent
    Agent creates the review task with the file already attached
    When a contract lands in the legal inbox, the agent creates a TickTick task titled with the contract name, sets the review deadline, and attaches the PDF — the reviewer opens one task with everything in place.

How to plug TickTick into Actionist

Pick the connection method that suits your environment.

The fastest path. Install a TickTick MCP server in one click; the agent reaches your tasks and projects through a permissioned OAuth 2.0 handshake backed by TickTick's official API. No tokens to manage, no credentials to rotate.

1
Open the Apps tab

Find TickTick in the Apps library and click Connect. MCP is selected by default.

2
Authorise in TickTick

You'll be redirected to TickTick's OAuth consent screen. Sign in, choose the account to connect, and grant the requested permissions — read and write access to your tasks and projects.

FAQs

Questions about TickTick + Actionist

Which TickTick actions can the agent perform?
The agent can create tasks (with or without file attachments), read individual tasks or filtered task lists, update any field on an existing task, mark tasks complete, delete tasks, move tasks between projects, search by keyword or filter, and set task priority or due date independently. It can also create, read, update, and delete projects. That covers the full write-read cycle for both tasks and projects.
What triggers are available from TickTick?
Four triggers fire from TickTick: New Task Created (any new task appears), New Updated Task (any field changes on an existing task), New Completed Task (a task is marked done), and New Deleted Task (a task is removed). All four fire in real time, so downstream actions start within seconds of the event.
How does the agent connect to TickTick?
The recommended path is MCP — a TickTick OAuth 2.0 handshake that the agent uses to read and write your tasks and projects without storing credentials locally. If you prefer a direct API connection, you can supply a Personal Access Token from TickTick's developer portal instead. Both methods give the agent full read-write access.
Can the agent attach files to TickTick tasks?
Yes. The Add a Task With File action creates a new task and attaches a file to it in a single step. The Upload File action uploads a file to your TickTick account so it's available to attach separately. Both are useful when you need reference material — a contract PDF, a design spec, a screenshot — to travel with the work item.
Will the agent overwrite tasks I've already edited by hand?
Only when you explicitly instruct it to. The Update Task action targets a specific task ID and only modifies the fields you specify — it won't touch anything you haven't told it to change. Read-only actions like Get Task and Search Tasks never modify data at all.
Can the agent work across multiple TickTick projects?
Yes. Every task action accepts a project ID, and Get Projects returns the full list of your projects so the agent can route tasks dynamically — no hard-coded project IDs required. The Move Task action lets the agent transfer tasks between projects as context changes, for example when a task escalates from a working list to a leadership review list.
Does the agent support TickTick's personal (free) plan as well as Premium?
The agent connects via TickTick's OAuth API, which is available on all account tiers. Premium features like calendar view, habit tracking, and Pomodoro are surfaced inside TickTick itself; the agent's task and project operations work on any plan. If a specific Premium-only field is not returned by the API on a free plan, the agent will receive an empty value rather than an error.
What happens if a task the agent tries to update no longer exists?
The agent receives a not-found error from the TickTick API, logs it, and — depending on how your workflow is configured — either stops and reports the issue or skips to the next step. Workflows that read a task before writing to it (using Get Task first) can check existence before acting, which is the pattern recommended for high-reliability automations.
