We use Slack here at The Sweet Setup, and it’s really fantastic. It allows use to communicate in a central place without having to use group iMessages. I also love Todoist as a task management system, and with its robust web API, I wanted to figure out a way to turn a starred message in Slack into a task in Todoist. This is incredibly simple to do with Zapier.

Before I get started, I know there are probably countless ways to configure this integration (with automatic due dates, etc). What follows is how I configured it to work for my needs. My overall goal was to star a message and have it appear in my inbox in Todoist to process later.

1. Once you sign up for Zapier or log in, you’ll need to add Todoist and Slack as integrations in the system.
2. Once they are both added, click Make a Zap.
   
3. Choose Slack as the first app.
   
4. Choose New Starred Message.
   
5. Choose the Slack group you want to add, and if you have multiple teams, make a new zap per Slack group.
   
6. Zapier will run a test to make sure the connection is working, so star a recent Slack message in the group you connected.
   
7. Next, you need to integrate the Todoist section. Log in to your Todoist account, and choose Create Task.
   
8. Follow the onscreen directions to connect your Todoist account.
   On this step, in the title, you can add items for Zapier to pull from Slack into the Todoist task. I choose the message text and the Slack permalink. You can get really technical and pre-schedule due dates and other items, but this was more than I needed. I simply wanted something that would trigger me to remember and process the item.
   
9. You can now name the Zap and turn it on. On the free Zapier plan, it will process every 15 minutes. If you need it to process more often, check out the paid plans.

Twist Doist

It turns out that using an asterisk in Todoist can lead to some interesting results!

By mistake, I found out when automatically importing a task from Slack to Todoist via Zapier (that’s another post for another time!) that having an asterisk, “*”, at the start of your task did something interesting.

By having that asterisk there, it essentially made a task that could not be completed!

Why is this important?

It turns out that you can use it to make a header that you cannot easily remove – handy if you are putting a lot of sub tasks under it and don’t want to easily delete them by mistake. This may sound odd, check out the video so you can see exactly how and why this works – much easier to show in a video than to put down in words.

Not only did I find the asterisk to be helpful for making headers when using sub-tasks, but it can also make italics and bold.

Todoist Slack 通知

All you have to do is surround you text with an asterisk on each side, like this:

*this will look like italics*

which will look like this once you save your task:

this will look like italics

You can also do bold by using exclamation marks:

!! This is bold !!

will look like this once you save the task:

this is bold

Todoist Slack App

You can put a space between the asterisk or exclamation mark or not, I found that it didn’t make a difference.

Just remember, if you use an asterisk at the beginning of your task to make it italic, you’ll also make that task uncompletable. Yup, I’m going to go ahead and say that “uncompletable” is a word.

Hope this helps you with your Todoist use!
