FAQ

Questions about Reopen Task.

What does the Reopen Task action do in Todoist?

Reopens a previously completed Todoist task, restoring it to the active list. Useful when a downstream system reports a failure and you need the work back on the board.

What inputs does Reopen Task require?

Required: Task ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

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 workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Reopen Task support batch operations?

Yes. Run Reopen Task inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Todoist's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
