Todoist and Notion, always in sync

How to sync Todoist with Notion

Setting up Todoist sync takes under five minutes:

1. Connect your Todoist account to 2sync and authorize access.
2. Select your Notion database or let 2sync create one with the right properties.
3. Map your fields to control how task titles, due dates, priorities, labels, and subtasks flow between apps.
4. Enable the sync and tasks start flowing automatically.

For a detailed walkthrough with screenshots, see the Todoist setup guide.

Why sync Todoist with Notion?

Todoist is fast for capturing and completing tasks. Notion is powerful for planning, linking, and visualizing projects. Most people who use both end up copying tasks between them manually, or they try embedding Todoist inside Notion, which only gives a live view without creating actual database items.

2sync connects Todoist and Notion with a true two-way sync. When you create a task in Todoist, it appears in your Notion database as a real page you can edit, filter, and link to other databases. When you add a task in Notion, it shows up in Todoist. Edit in either app and the change flows to the other. No manual updates, no duplicated effort.

All plans include a 14-day free trial, so you can test the full sync before paying.

What syncs between Todoist and Notion?

2sync supports 14 Todoist fields, more than any other integration tool:

• Task title and description: Full task content syncs in both directions
• Due date and time: Date-based tasks stay aligned across both apps
• Deadline: Hard deadlines sync separately from due dates (requires Todoist Premium)
• Completion status: Check off in one app, done in both
• Priority level: Todoist P1 through P4 maps to a Notion select property
• Project: Syncs as a Notion select property or a linked relation database
• Section: Todoist sections map to Notion as select or relation, preserving your task groupings
• Labels: All Todoist labels sync as Notion multi-select tags
• Subtasks and parent tasks: Parent-child hierarchy preserved through Notion relations
• Assignee: Task assignments sync bidirectionally for team workflows
• Recurring task status: Track which tasks repeat without breaking the recurrence pattern
• Task URL: Direct link back to the task in Todoist

Each field can be configured independently as two-way, one-way to Notion, or one-way to Todoist. You control exactly how your data flows.

Projects, sections, and subtasks

Todoist organizes tasks into projects, sections within projects, and subtasks under parent tasks. Most sync tools flatten this structure, dumping everything into a single list. 2sync preserves it.

Projects and sections sync to Notion as either select properties (simple) or relation properties (linked to a separate database for richer views). Subtask parent-child relationships are maintained through Notion relations, so you can see task hierarchies, use rollups to count subtasks, or filter by parent task.

Todoist Notion integration: more than an embed

Todoist's own documentation suggests embedding Todoist inside Notion as an iframe. That gives you a live view of your task list, but the tasks are not Notion database items. You cannot filter them, link them to other databases, use them in rollups or formulas, or trigger Notion automations.

2sync creates actual Notion pages for each task. They are real database items you can work with: add custom properties, create views, build relations to project or client databases, and use formulas to calculate things like tasks completed this week.

2sync vs Zapier for Todoist

Zapier connects Todoist and Notion through one-way automations. You create a Zap that triggers when a task is added in Todoist, and it creates a page in Notion. For the reverse direction, you build a second Zap. This approach has three problems: no built-in duplicate prevention, risk of infinite loops (Zap A triggers Zap B triggers Zap A), and no way to sync updates to existing tasks without complex workarounds.

2sync handles all of this in a single setup. Two-way sync runs automatically with built-in deduplication and conflict handling. Zapier also charges per task: the free plan allows 100 tasks per month with 15-minute delays. A busy workspace can exhaust that in days. 2sync charges per automation with unlimited synced items, so your bill stays predictable regardless of task volume.
