4 years ago Per the conversation with Toggl support, here are what I learned so far:
- It is possible to get the Project info synced from Todoist to Toggl, via Toggl Button
- "Tags will not sync across".
One prerequisite for Project-sync to work, is that both projects on Todoist and Toggl shall have the same name.
Yet, it would be nice to have a correspondence table, where projects (or even subprojects) in Todoist are mapped/linked to certain projects on Toggl. This feeels like something Toggle button as an add-on can do single-handledly. For now, it is unclear how Toggl button is assigning Project-names to tasks started in a certain Todoist project: after assigning Toggl-project via the Toggl button, it is not guaranteed that other tasks started in the same Todoist project shall get assigned with the same Toggl-project.
The current Todoist integration reads only the "text" content but not the project metadata. No
@tagnor#Projectinfo.Describe the new feature
To assign the ongoing task to a project in Toggl, I need to specify the project manually. For now, specifying the project name through the Toggl button is a two-step process: type the initial characters of the project name, and use up/down arrow + enter to select the project.
Ideally, the metadata for the Todoist task about Project and Tag can be synced to Toggl.
How does this help you?
Clicking on one button shall start to log the task in Todoist, without needing to manually manage the
ProjectandTaginfo on Toggl. Then, all the task-management activities are managed exclusively on Todoist, and Toggl tracks seemelessly with a click of a "Toggl button".If we couldn't add this feature, is there a compromise you can think of?
Indeed, per each task I'd like to work on, I need to type in its metadata twice: once in Todoist, and once more in Toggl. The second part can be saved with proper automation.
