How do I list active Todoist tasks?

Short answer: You can list tasks in Todoist by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Todoist List Tasks action to a workflow, map its 3 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about List Tasks.

What does the List Tasks action do in Todoist?

Lists active (uncompleted) Todoist tasks, optionally filtered by project, section, label, or Todoist's filter query language. Common in daily-digest and review workflows.

What inputs does List Tasks require?

List Tasks has no required inputs. Sensible defaults are applied if you leave fields blank.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Todoist returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Todoist returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does List Tasks support batch operations?

Run List Tasks inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Todoist's rate limits.
