Configuration

Automatic configuration with OAuth

To set up the Todoist integration using OAuth, click the authorization button and follow the on-screen instructions to connect your Botpress chatbot to Todoist.

When configuring your bot with OAuth, you can either log in with your user account or with a user account you created specifically for your bot. Please keep in mind that if you log in with your user account, the bot actions and comments will appear as yours. For most use cases, it is recommended to create a user account specifically for your bot. You will have to invite the bot's user to a shared project for it to be able to post comment, do actions, etc.

Manual configuration using a personal API token

1. Todoist App creation
   • Create an app in the App Management page.
   • Copy your user's personnal API token or generate a test token in the App Management page.
2. Todoist Botpress integration configuration
   • Install the Todoist integration in your Botpress bot.
   • Paste the API token copied earlier in the configuration fields. This is the token your bot will use to post comments, update or create tasks, etc.
   • Save configuration.
   • Copy the Webhook URL of your bot.
3. Todoist App Webhook configuration
   • Go in the App Management page of your app on Todoist.
   • Make sure the Webhooks events are activated. Follow these instructions provided by Todoist to do so.
   • Paste the Webhook URL copied earlier in the Webhook callback URL field.
   • Check the following Watched Events:
     • item:added;
     • item:updated;
     • item:completed;
     • note:added.
   • Save the Webhook configuration.
