Add the official Todoist plugin in ChatGPT to manage your tasks without leaving the conversation. Once it’s connected, ChatGPT can read, create, and update the tasks and projects in your Todoist account, so you can plan your week, capture ideas, or tidy your Inbox right where you’re already chatting.
Before you start
- You’ll need a ChatGPT account.
- You’ll need a Todoist account to sign in to.
Connect Todoist to ChatGPT
- Open ChatGPT.
- Click Plugins in the sidebar.
- Search for Todoist.
- Select the Todoist plugin.
- Click Connect.
- Sign in to your Todoist account.
- Approve the requested permissions.
Once the plugin is set up, type /todoist in any ChatGPT conversation to bring it up, then describe what you want in plain language.
What you can do with the plugin
Once connected, ChatGPT can work with your account in multiple ways, including:
- Read your tasks and projects.
- Create new tasks and projects.
- Update what’s already there, such as renaming a task, shifting its date, or moving it to another project.
Example prompts to try
Once you’re connected, plain language is enough to get things done.
| Category | Example prompts |
|---|---|
| Plan your day | What’s overdue across my projects? Suggest three tasks that I should tackle first. Pull everything due today and help me put it in a realistic order. |
| Capture quickly | Add “Email the venue about parking” to my Events project, due Thursday. Create a recurring task to review my goals on the first of every month. |
| Shape a project | Start a project called “Q3 launch” with sections for Research, Build, and Review. Move my unscheduled Marketing tasks into a “This month” section. |
| Tidy up | Find tasks with no date in my Work project and suggest deadlines. Rename my vague Inbox tasks into clear next actions. |
Privacy and data handling
Connecting the plugin means your Todoist data moves between Todoist and ChatGPT. On Todoist’s side, that data is covered by Todoist’s privacy policy; once it reaches ChatGPT, it also falls under OpenAI’s privacy policy. You can review the permissions you’ve granted at any time from Todoist’s Settings > Integrations.
Disconnect Todoist from ChatGPT
You can remove the connection from either side:
- From ChatGPT: open Settings > Plugins, select Todoist, then select Disconnect.
- From Todoist: open Settings > Integrations, select ChatGPT, then select Remove.
Troubleshooting
The OAuth window doesn’t open or keeps failing
Disable strict pop-up blockers for the sign-in flow and try again.
