unofficial-todoist-gmail-addon

Sometimes you want to want to convert emails inside your phone's gmail app (not just web browser) into a todoist task. This gmail add-on helps you do it!

How to install the add-on

This addon is not yet published on the gmail store, but you may install it as an unpublished addon. To do so, follow the steps in the link below: https://developers.google.com/gmail/add-ons/how-tos/install-unpublished

When you get to the part where you need a deployment ID, use mine: Deployment ID: AKfycbyGG7RK0-Qg-79wI7QGuW2lPbBAIj_l0yEePpj9I3Ro

Because this is currently still just a developer (unpublished) add-on, I need to whitelist your gmail address for to you be able to install it. Otherwise you may just get an invalid add-on error.

UPDATE (2018-11-02): Sadness for iOS gmail users! As of 2018-11-02 gmail-addons are not yet enabled on iOS. :(

Follow-up features

This is for sure a work in progress. Some of my next goals are:

  1. make it so that once a gmail gets added as a task in todoist, if i click on a task, it can take me straight to the gmail thread
  2. when i convert a task, if the task was already created from the same gmail and i just forgot that ihad done it, it prevents me from redundantly adding the same gmail as a task
  3. allow user to set Due Date and Project and other attributes via the addon
