Todoist + Memtro

What is due, what is overdue and what got done, from Todoist.

Connect Todoist with your API token and Memtro reads the projects you can see: their sections and labels, open tasks due today, overdue or in the next week with priority, labels and assignee, and what was completed in any period up to three months. There is no hourly sync. When asked, and once an administrator has granted each action by name, it adds, updates, moves, completes and reopens tasks, comments, and creates, updates or archives projects, sections and labels, all as you. Deleting a task, comment or project is permanent and, in a shared project, gone for everyone.

In Memtro

What you can do with Todoist in Memtro

Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right Todoist tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.

What it does

  1. 01Projects with parent, shared or favourite, their sections, and the account's labels
  2. 02Open tasks by project, section, label or assignee, with priority, due date, deadline and link, or Todoist filters as typed (today, overdue, p1, @urgent)
  3. 03One task in full: description, due date, labels, assignee, parent task and its comments
  4. 04Tasks completed in a period of up to three months, newest first, by project or filter
  5. 05When asked and granted, adds tasks (Quick Add text included), updates, moves, completes or reopens them, and comments, notifying only the collaborators named. An assignee is notified
  6. 06When asked and granted, creates, updates or archives projects, creates sections and labels, and permanently deletes a task with its sub-tasks, a comment, or a project with everything in it

Acts when asked

When you ask it to

These tools change something in Todoist. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it; a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

  1. 01Create a task in a project, with a due date, priority and labels
  2. 02Complete a task
  3. 03Add a task from one line of Quick Add text
  4. 04Update a task's text, description, due date, deadline, priority, labels, assignee or duration
  5. 05Reopen a completed task
  6. 06Delete a task and its sub-tasks permanently
  7. 07Move a task to another project, section or parent task
  8. 08Comment on a task or project, notifying only the collaborators named
  9. 09Edit a comment
  10. 10Delete a comment permanently
  11. 11Create a project
  12. 12Update a project's name, description, colour, view or favourite
  13. 13Archive a project
  14. 14Delete a project with all its sections and tasks permanently

  16. 16Create a label

Events

When it happens

Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, then add the address it shows as a webhook in Todoist, choosing the same kinds; the tab shows Todoist's own steps. Each event can start a job, with the event as its input. Todoist signs every delivery, and one whose signature does not check out is refused before it is read.

In practice

Ask it like you would a colleague

Once Todoist is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.

Todoist + Memtro
  • What is overdue in the Website relaunch project, and who is it assigned to?

  • What are my p1 tasks due this week?

  • What did the team complete in October in the Client work project?

  • Add 'Send the Northwind proposal' to Sales, due Friday, priority 1, label @client

  • Move the three relaunch tasks due today to next Monday

01

Monday planning

A team lead asks what is overdue and what is due this week in the Launch project. Memtro lists each task with its assignee and priority, notes that three p1 items belong to one person, and links to each.

02

Captured from a call

On a call with Globex, Mark Bell says 'remind me to send the revised quote on Thursday and give the contract review to Jess'. Memtro adds the quote task to the Sales project, due Thursday, labelled @client, reassigns the review task to Jess, who is notified, and reads both links back.

Teams

Where it fits

The teams that lean on Todoist most, a question each of them asks, and what they connect beside it.

Better together

Works with

A record in Todoist is rarely the whole story. Connect the systems that hold the rest and Memtro checks them together, then remembers what it learned so the next question starts further along.

Setup

How to connect

Connect withAPI token
  1. 1

    In Todoist go to Settings → Integrations → Developer and copy the API token shown there

  2. 2

    The token is your own account's, so Memtro reads the projects you can see and anything it adds, completes or changes is done as you

  3. 3

    In Memtro open Connections → Todoist, paste the API token and connect

  4. 4

    Ask what is overdue

Also works from

Chat in the dashboard, the OpenAI-compatible API, scheduled jobs, and any MCP client: Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Claude Desktop. The Todoist tools are the same everywhere.

FAQ

Questions

Can Memtro change anything in Todoist?+

Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: create a task in a project, with a due date, priority and labels; complete a task; add a task from one line of Quick Add text; update a task's text, description, due date, deadline, priority, labels, assignee or duration; reopen a completed task; delete a task and its sub-tasks permanently; move a task to another project, section or parent task; comment on a task or project, notifying only the collaborators named; edit a comment; delete a comment permanently; create a project; update a project's name, description, colour, view or favourite; archive a project; delete a project with all its sections and tasks permanently; create a section in a project; create a label. Every other tool reads, searches or lists. The Connections page labels the tools that act, an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

Who can use a Todoist connection?+

A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.

Does Memtro store my Todoist data?+

Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded.

How do I connect Todoist?+

API token. In Todoist go to Settings → Integrations → Developer and copy the API token shown there.

Can Todoist start a job?+

Yes. Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, then add the address it shows as a webhook in Todoist, choosing the same kinds; the tab shows Todoist's own steps. A job set to start "When an event arrives" then runs once for each matching event, with the event as its input. The run treats the event as outside data, never as instructions, and anything the run remembers is kept as unverified.
