This automation scenario allows you to connect Email and Todoist
It can be build using Ifttt, a no-code workflow automation tool. Ifttt allows you to create automated bots using a simple drag-and-drop interface for non-technical users. This is a ready-made scenario, but it can be customized by adding more apps, actions, filters or branches.

Email and Todoist can also be integrated using automation tools other than ifttt:
When this trigger fires in Email
Send IFTTT any email at [email protected] and this Trigger fires. You can optionally add a single file attachment and IFTTT will create a public URL to the file as an Ingredient. This trigger will reject emails with attachments over 30MB.
Then this action happens in Todoist
This Action will create a new task in the project and section you specify.
This guide contains information on how to set up an automatic workflow that allows to Create Todoist tasks from email.
Part I
First, we need to connect Email and Todoist to IFTTT.
Create IFTTT account.
Create IFTTT account if you don't have one.
Connect Email to IFTTT.
Give IFTTT access to your Email account, using Email credentials.
Connect Todoist to IFTTT.
Give IFTTT access to your Todoist account, using Todoist credentials.
Part II
Next, we need to create a workflow automation scenario using graphical no-code web interface of IFTTT.
Set up a Trigger action for Email
Choose the following trigger: Send IFTTT any email (Send IFTTT any email at [email protected] and this Trigger fires. You can optionally add a single file attachment and IFTTT will create a public URL to the file as an Ingredient. This trigger will reject emails with attachments over 30MB.).
Then set up an Action for Todoist
Choose this action: Create task (This Action will create a new task in the project and section you specify.).
Part III
Finally, we need to test this automation and publish it.
Customize data flow
Configure the data that is exchanged between Email and Todoist.
Test the workflow and turn it on for production use
Test your scenario and publish to production. Now you have an automatic workflow, that will Create Todoist tasks from email!
Triggers when you add an incomplete task to a project.
Triggers when you complete a task (including recurring tasks) on a project.
Triggers when a new project is created.
This Trigger fires every time you create a new task in Todoist.
Triggers when there is a New Task
New or modified task
This Action will send you an HTML based email. Images and links are supported.
