How it works

With the Todoist plugin open, click on a Front conversation.

Todoist tasks that have been associated with a conversation appear under the Attached header in the plugin (if they exist).

Attach an existing Todoist task to a conversation

Step 1

Click on a Front conversation and open the Todoist plugin.

Step 2

Click Browse in the Todoist plugin sidebar.

Step 3

Select the Todoist Project that the task belongs to.

Step 4

Search for the Task name.

Step 5

Results appear in the Top results section. Click the three-dots menu next to a task, and then click Attach task to attach it to the conversation.
