1

Create your playbook and set the Todoist trigger as "Task created"

After creating your playbook, you can proceed to add your trigger. The trigger detects changes in your connected apps and responds to your playbook.

To setup this playbook, click "Add trigger" and then select "Task created" under Todoist. Then, select the project and task details. If this is your first time using a Todoist integration in Relay.app, you'll be prompted to connect your Todoist account.

Now, every time a task is created in Todoist, your playbook will run automatically.

Add the "Send task to Inbox" in Things automation

Integrate the Things automation into your playbook to ensure the specific task is promptly sent to Things Inbox for each new task added in Todoist.

Click the "Add step" button, then locate the "Send task to Inbox" automation for Things and input the mandatory and relevant details.

If your Things account isn't already connected to Relay.app, you will be prompted to complete that connection. Make sure to allow the necessary permissions for Relay.app to sync with your Things account.

Activate your Relay.app playbook

Activating your playbook is the final step to automate the sending of specific task to Things Inbox. Once turned on, it will respond to each new task created in Todoist by sending the task in Things Inbox without manual intervention.

To enable your playbook, click the toggle button located in the header. It is advisable to perform a test run of your playbook beforehand to ensure all steps work seamlessly together and reminders are being sent correctly.
