How to Use the Todoist Connector in Muse

Is the Todoist connector live in Muse right now?

As of October 25, 2026, Todoist is a live connector in Muse. It arrived on September 29, 2026 as one of 15 new business connectors in the Muse for Small Business launch, and it was still listed in the October 15 in app check that counted 54 connectors in the web app. Connect it and Muse can work with your to dos: what is due today, what is overdue, what belongs to which project, and what you should tackle first.

Here is the honest version. Todoist already holds your tasks. Muse adds the thinking on top of them. It reads the list, spots what is slipping, and turns a pile of tasks into a plan for today. The value is not a prettier list. The value is a list that answers back when you ask what matters most, what can wait, and what you promised someone last week and never closed. The rest of this guide covers how to connect it, the setup that keeps it safe, and the uses that are actually worth your time.

What do you need before you connect Todoist?

• Muse access. You need an account with access first, in the United States, Canada, or Japan, where Muse has launched.
• A Todoist account. Free or paid, with the tasks and projects you actually live in. If your real work lives in a different to do app, connect that one instead of forcing Todoist to fit.
• Your Todoist sign in. You connect with your Todoist account, the same way you sign in to Todoist itself.
• Approvals set to ask me. Before you connect anything, set approvals so nothing is changed or sent without your tap. This is the single most important step on this page.
• Google Calendar, optional but recommended. Tasks plus calendar is the pairing that makes a real daily plan, because a task with no time slot is a wish. Our Google Calendar connector guide covers that half.

How do you connect Todoist to Muse?

The connection itself takes a few minutes. The setup around it matters more, so run the steps in order and do not skip the approvals step at the end.

1. Open Muse and go to Settings. The connectors list lives there. What is printed there is what your account has, because rollout is staged and two accounts can see different lists on the same day.
2. Find Todoist in the connectors list and open it. If Todoist is not listed, your account has not received it yet. There is nothing to install and nothing you broke. Check again in a few days.
3. Sign in with Todoist. Use the account where your real tasks live. If you keep a personal account and a work account, pick the one that holds the work you want Muse to plan around.
4. Grant the access Muse asks for. Muse needs permission to read your tasks and projects, and possibly to change them. Read the permission screen before you accept it. If a scope surprises you, stop and check what it covers before continuing.
5. Set approvals to ask me. In Muse settings, set approvals so that changes to tasks and anything sent on your behalf always waits for you. This is what stops Muse from ever completing, moving, or deleting a task you have not approved.
6. Test with a read only request. Ask Muse what is due today and what is overdue. Read the answer against your Todoist list. If it matches, the connection is good. Do not ask it to change anything on the first day.
7. Use it read only for a week. Summaries, searches, and plans only. Once you trust what it reads and how it reasons about priorities, start approving small changes one at a time.

Copy this prompt

You are my daily planner. Use my Todoist connector only.
Rules: you never complete, move, delete, or change a task without my explicit approval. You read, summarize, and plan. I approve every change.
My projects: [list the projects that matter most, e.g. work, home, health]
Every morning, do this in order.
1. List what is due today and what is overdue, grouped by project.
2. Tell me the 3 tasks that matter most today and why each one matters.
3. Flag anything overdue by more than a week and ask me whether to reschedule it, drop it, or break it into a smaller next step.
4. Build me a plan for today in time order, using my calendar if it is connected.
5. End with one task I should do first, right now.

What can Muse actually do with Todoist?

One honest note before the list. Meta has not published a detailed list of exactly which actions Muse can take inside Todoist as of October 25, 2026, so the uses below describe the realistic shape of the connector based on what Todoist does, not a verified list of every action. The permission screen you see when you connect is the true list for your account, so read it and test with read only requests first. What follows is what the connector is for, and where it earns its place.

The daily plan

Ask Muse what is due today, grouped by project, and then ask it to build the day in order. This is the single highest value use, and it is the one to build a habit around. A good daily plan tells you what to do first, what fits between meetings, and what to push to tomorrow without guilt. It takes two minutes to read. The trick is to ask for the plan in time order, not in priority order, because a plan you can follow hour by hour is a plan you will actually follow. Pair it with Google Calendar and the plan gets real: Muse can see the gaps between your meetings and slot the short tasks into them. Our Google Calendar connector guide covers that half of the setup.

Overdue triage

Every task list grows a tail of overdue items that nobody wants to look at. Ask Muse to list everything overdue, grouped by how long it has been sitting there, and to ask you about each one: reschedule it, drop it, or break it into a smaller next step. This is different from staring at a red overdue count yourself, because Muse forces the decision one task at a time and a task you decide to drop is a task that stops stealing attention. Run this once a week, on Friday afternoon or Monday morning, and the list stops growing. The rule is simple. A task that has been overdue for a month is not a task any more. It is a decision you have been avoiding, and deciding is the work.

Project check ins

Ask Muse to check one project at a time: what is done, what is still open, what is due this week, and what has not moved in a while. This beats scrolling the project yourself when you remember the shape of the work but not the details, because Muse reads the whole project and tells you the state of it. Use it on Monday mornings for the projects that carry deadlines, and before any meeting where someone will ask you for a status update. A two minute check in before the meeting beats a twenty minute scramble during it.

Capture without losing the thread

The fastest way to lose a task is to write it down in the wrong place. When a task arrives in a chat, an email, or a meeting, tell Muse to add it to the right Todoist project with a due date, and then confirm it landed where you meant it to. This only works if you approve the add before moving on, because a task Muse added to the wrong project is a task you will never find again. Keep the habit small. One task, one project, one due date, confirmed in the same breath. Over a few weeks this becomes the way tasks enter your system instead of living in five different inboxes.

The weekly review

Ask Muse what you finished this week, what slipped, and what is due next week, all grouped by project. This is the use that turns a task list into a record of your work. Most people never review what they finished, so they walk into Monday feeling behind even after a good week. A short review fixes that. It also surfaces the pattern worth noticing: the project that keeps slipping is usually the project with tasks that are too big, too vague, or owned by nobody in particular. When Muse shows you the same project slipping three weeks in a row, that is the signal to break its tasks down or to admit the project needs a different owner. Our personal CRM guide uses the same review habit for people and promises, not just tasks.

Finding the task you cannot find

Ask Muse to find the task where you promised a client a price, the one about the invoice you were sent last month, or the errand you added in March and forgot. This beats searching Todoist yourself when you remember the meaning of a task but not the words in it, because Muse reads for meaning. It is still worth checking the result against the original task before you quote a date or a number from it to anyone.

What can the Todoist connector not do?

The limits are honest and worth knowing before you lean on the connector.

• It cannot show you tasks from an account you never connected. If your work lives in a second Todoist account, or in a different to do app entirely, Muse cannot see it. It reasons from what you connected, nothing more.
• It cannot guarantee it read every task right. A summary can miss a task, and a plan can misread a due date. Check anything that touches money, a client promise, or a hard deadline against the original task before you act on it.
• It cannot change a task without your approval when approvals are set right. That is a feature, not a bug. If you turn approvals off, you lose the safety net, so keep them on for anything that changes your list.
• It cannot fix a messy task list. If your Todoist is a pile of vague tasks with no projects and no due dates, Muse will plan around the pile. The daily plan gets dramatically better once you give tasks real names, real projects, and real dates.
• It cannot decide what matters for you. Muse can rank tasks by due date and by what you told it matters, but it cannot know that a small task for a big client outranks a big task for nobody. Tell it your priorities in plain words once, and repeat them when they change.
• It cannot do your deep work. A plan is not progress. The connector earns its place by clearing the planning so the work itself gets your full attention, not by replacing it.

What should you watch out for?

As of October 25, 2026, Todoist is a settled connector in the sense that it has been live since September 29 with no October change to how it works. That is based on the September launch record and the October 15 in app check, since no October announcement has described a change to it. There is no October update to learn, so the habits around it still matter. Check the plan against your Todoist list for the first week, especially any date or project it quotes. A wrong date acted on fast is worse than a slow read you verified.

Be careful with shared projects. If a Todoist project is shared with teammates or family, remember that Muse reads what you connected, and changes you approve can be visible to the other people on that project. Set a rule for yourself: Muse plans, you read, you approve. The moment you start approving changes without reading is the moment the connector stops being an assistant and starts being a risk.

Check your data controls. In Muse settings, open Data controls and look at the switch for helping improve the models. If you do not want your chats used for training, turn it off before you start asking Muse to read your tasks. That switch controls whether Meta may use your chats to train future models.

Finally, keep the list honest. A task list works when every item has a real next step, a real owner, and a real date. When a task has none of those, it is not a task, it is a worry wearing a task costume, and no connector can plan around a worry. Spend ten minutes a week turning vague items into concrete ones and the daily plan will start feeling like it was written by someone who knows your week.

What can Muse do with my Todoist tasks?

Muse can read your tasks and projects, build a daily plan from what is due, flag what is overdue, and check the state of a project. Exact write actions depend on the permissions you grant when you connect, so read the permission screen first.

Can Muse complete or delete my tasks without asking?

Not when your approvals are set to ask me. Every change waits for your tap. Keep approvals on for anything that changes your list, and approve changes one at a time.

Can I connect more than one Todoist account?

We have not verified a second account limit for Todoist as of October 25, 2026. Connect the account where your real work lives first, and check the connector screen in Muse settings for what your account allows.

Does Todoist work with Google Calendar in Muse?

Yes, as a pairing. Connect both and Muse can build a daily plan that fits tasks into the gaps between your meetings. Our Google Calendar connector guide covers the calendar half.

Can I use the Todoist connector outside the United States, Canada, and Japan?

Not yet. Muse itself has launched in the United States, Canada, and Japan only. Join the waitlist and we will send you a fresh code on launch day in your country.

What happens if I disconnect Todoist?

Muse loses access to your tasks. Your tasks stay in Todoist, and nothing Muse planned is changed after you disconnect. You can reconnect the same account later.

Is my task list used to train Muse?

There is a Data controls switch in Muse settings for helping improve the models. If you do not want your chats used for training, turn it off before you start asking Muse to read your tasks.
