The Todoist integration allows you to complete the following actions directly within Front:

• View Todoist tasks attached to the selected Front conversation.

• Mark tasks as complete or incomplete.

• Search for Todoist tasks across all projects you have access to.

• View and edit task details.

• Create new Todoist tasks directly from Front.

• Link out to the Todoist application for more actions.
