What is Todoist?

Todoist is a to-do app for keeping personal and shared tasks in order, tasks, projects, sections, and comments. Staying on top of it means a steady trickle of small actions: capturing tasks, marking them done, moving them between sections, spinning up projects. This connection lets Fabric's assistant handle that for you, in plain language, and respond when tasks come and go.

What Fabric's assistant can do with Todoist

Once your Todoist is connected, Fabric's AI assistant can act on your tasks from plain-language requests.

Find tasks and projects. Find a task, project, or user, find-or-create a project or item, and get a project's collaborators, so you can locate what you need without opening the app.

Manage tasks. Create tasks, mark tasks as completed, move a task to a section, add comments to tasks and projects, and update tasks, so capturing and clearing your list becomes something you ask for.

Set up projects. Create projects and invite users to them, so shared work stays organised without setting it up by hand.

You describe what you want and the assistant maps it to the right Todoist action or trigger.

You stay in control

The assistant acts only when you ask. For anything that changes existing work, updating a task in a way that overwrites, marking something complete, it confirms with you before going ahead where the change matters, unless you've told it not to for a particular task. Finding and reading never change anything.

When capturing or clearing tasks is a recurring job, you can set up a Fabric AI job that runs on a schedule, adding tasks from another source, creating a follow-up when one completes, so the routine list-keeping runs itself while you keep approval over changes to existing tasks.

Search your Todoist from Fabric

Alongside the assistant, connecting Todoist adds keyword search over your tasks from Fabric's main search, so a task or project is findable by matching text in the same place you search the rest of your library, rather than searching Todoist separately.

How people use it

Anyone running their life on a to-do list captures and clears tasks by asking, rather than opening the app for each one.

People who capture tasks everywhere have new tasks flow into Todoist and let completions trigger follow-on actions.

Small teams create shared projects, invite collaborators, and keep tasks moving without manual setup.

People with recurring task chores set up a scheduled AI job to handle capturing and follow-ups, while keeping approval over changes to existing tasks.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Todoist connection do?

It lets Fabric's AI assistant manage your Todoist, taking actions like creating and completing tasks, organising sections, commenting, and creating projects. It also adds keyword search over your tasks in Fabric.

What can the assistant do in Todoist?

It can find tasks, projects, and users, find-or-create projects and items, create tasks, mark them complete, move tasks to sections, add comments to tasks and projects, update tasks, create projects, invite users, and get project collaborators. You ask in plain language rather than choosing from a fixed list.

Does the assistant change my tasks on its own?

No. It acts only when you ask, and for consequential changes it confirms with you first, unless you've deliberately told it not to for a specific task. Finding and reading change nothing.

Can I automate capturing and follow-ups?

Yes. A Fabric AI job can run on a schedule, for example adding tasks from another source or creating a follow-up when one completes, while you keep approval over changes to existing tasks.

Can I search my Todoist from Fabric?

Yes, by keyword, from Fabric's main search, so a task or project is findable by matching text alongside the rest of your library.

How is this different from the Asana connection?

Both manage tasks and projects. Todoist is a lighter, personal-first to-do app for keeping your own and shared lists in order; the Asana connection is built for team project management, with sections, subtasks, templates, and stories. Choose the one your tasks live in.

Is my Todoist data secure?

Everything in Fabric is encrypted in transit and at rest. The connection acts on your tasks with your authorisation, and you control what it does. The details are in the privacy and security guide and Fabric's privacy commitment.

Does this work through MCP or the API?

Fabric also exposes your library and connected tools to external AI through its MCP server and API; this connection is the built-in way to have Fabric's own assistant work with your Todoist.

Does Fabric work with other tools alongside Todoist?

Yes. Todoist is one of many connections. You can also connect Notion, Google Drive, and Gmail, and automate across many apps with Zapier. Fabric also has its own tasks and reminders for work you keep in Fabric itself.
