Drafts Directory: Todoist Quick Add

Action

Posted by davenicholls, Last update almost 6 years ago

Action to create one of more tasks in Todoist.

The action uses the Todoist Quick Add API call so it can take advantage of the features used within the native Todoist apps to add tasks to specific projects and set due dates/times. For example:

Make Cake Thursday 5pm #Food
Call Joe tomorrow #personal

Each line in the draft is processed as a separate task. Blank lines are retained. When complete the actions adds ‘OK’ or ‘Fail’ to the end of each line depending on the result fo the API call. This is primarily for testing.

You will need to add your Todoist API Token to the script in the position indicated

Install

Steps

script

// check to see if draft is blank
var content = draft.content;
var check = content.length;

var todoistToken = "Insert your Todoist API Token Here";

if (content.length == 0) {
	alert("Draft is blank");
	context.cancel("Draft was blank");
}

// Call API for each line in a draft

var newDraft = "";

// split draft and loop over lines
var lines = draft.content.split("\n");

var http = HTTP.create(); // create HTTP object

for (var line of lines) {

	if (line.length == 0) {

		newDraft+="\n"
	}
	else {
	
		var response = http.request({

	  		"method": "POST",
		  	"data": {
		  		"token":todoistToken,
