Todoist
· #74 most-usedEvery to-do, automated — from inbox to done.
Todoist is the task and project management app that 40 million people use to capture, prioritise, and complete work across every device. Connect it to Actionist and your agent can create tasks the moment triggers fire, close and reopen items based on external events, move tasks through sections as work progresses, and post comments that keep every conversation co-located with the task. From support-ticket triaging to sprint carry-overs, Todoist becomes the live action queue your entire stack writes to automatically.
Eliminates manual work. Eliminates the manual step of opening Todoist to create, update, or close tasks after events happen in other tools — each handoff that used to require a context switch is handled by the agent in seconds.
What your Todoist agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
Todoist × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
Churn signal to action in 90 seconds
When a customer emails flagging frustration or asking about cancellation, your agent reads the full thread in Gmail, finds the open Todoist tasks for that account, creates a priority follow-up task with the email context attached, notifies the CSM in Slack with a one-line summary and the action item, and drops a 30-minute call slot on the CSM's Google Calendar for the same day — before the customer has refreshed their inbox. Every at-risk account gets a human response plan without a single manual triage step.
