Keeping your tasks organized across different platforms shouldn’t feel like extra work. If you use Google Tasks to quickly jot things down and Todoist to manage your day, the Google Tasks Todoist Sync automation, powered by Workload, helps you bring it all together.
With this workflow, every time you add a new task in Google Tasks, a matching task will automatically appear in your Todoist project—with the title, notes, and due date carried over for a seamless experience. No manual entry, no back-and-forth. Just one connected to-do list that updates itself.
