Todoist integration

If you manage your projects through Todoist and use LiveChat on your page this integration is fit for you – you can join those two apps via Zapier. Every time your chat visitors give you inspirational ideas, have queries about their purchases (on which you need to check later) or report errors via LiveChat you can add a tag to such chats and pass them as tasks to Todoist.

Here’s a tutorial with instructions on how to create a Zap that will create a task in your Todoist after a ’note’ tag is added to a chat.

Creating the Todoist – LiveChat Zap

Creating a Zap consists of four main parts:

1. Setting up the trigger
2. Adding a filter
3. Configuring the action
4. Launching the Zap

Setting up LiveChat trigger

The first step to set up this integration is to determine a condition that will trigger an action in your Todoist account.

In this integration Chat changed trigger will be used.

1. Log in to Zapier and click on Make a Zap in the upper menu.

2. Choose LiveChat as the Trigger App.
3. Select Chat changed as the Trigger.

4. Click on Save + Continue to proceed.
5. Select Connect a New Account and then provide your LiveChat login email and the API key. Next, click on Yes, continue to accept.

Adding a filter

The second step is adding a filter that will only pass the chats with a ’note’ tag further.

8. Go to the filter section in Zapier and choose the tag of the chats that you want to pass to Todoist.
