How to integrate Bubble.io with Todoist?

Step 1: Create an Account or Log into Bubble.io.

If you’re new to Bubble.io, you’ll need to sign up for an account. Go to Bubble.io and click on ‘Sign Up’ in the upper right-hand corner of the homepage.

If you already have an account, just click 'Log in'.

Step 2: Create a New Bubble app

After signing up or logging in, navigate to your dashboard in Bubble. Click on the "New App" button, name your app, and then click on "Create new app".

Step 3: Configure Bubble App Settings

On the app builder page, navigate to "Settings" in the menu on the left-hand side of the screen and set up the general settings for your app.

Step 4: Install the Zapier plugin

In Bubble's main menu, click on "Plugins". In the plugin store, search for Zapier and install it to your application.

Step 5: Create an Account or Log into Todoist

If you don't have a Todoist account yet, sign up at Todoist. If you already have an account, just log in.

Step 6: Create a Zap in Zapier

To create a Zap in Zapier, first, log into your Zapier account. If you don't have an account yet, sign up at Zapier. Then, once you are logged in, click the "Make a Zap" button in the upper right-hand corner of your dashboard.

Step 7: Set up your Zap to connect Bubble.io to Todoist

A Zap consists of a "trigger" and one or more "actions". Your trigger will be an event in Bubble.io, and the action will be an action in Todoist.

  • In the "Choose App & Event" section, search for Bubble.
  • Choose the event that you want to trigger the action. This could be any event in your Bubble application.
  • Next, you need to connect your Bubble.io account to Zapier. Click on "Sign in to Bubble.io" and give Zapier the permissions it needs.
  • Set up the Trigger. The exact information you will need to provide will depend upon the event you've selected.
  • Test your Trigger.
  • Once the trigger is set up, in the "Do this..." section, search for Todoist.
  • Choose the action event you want to happen in Todoist when the trigger event happens in Bubble
  • Next, sign in to your Todoist account and give Zapier permission to access it.
  • Set up the Action. What information you need here will depend upon the action you have chosen.
  • Test your Action.
  • If everything works, continue to the next step.

Step 8: Name and turn on your Zap

Finally, name your Zap something that describes its function, save it, and then turn it on. Your Bubble.io app is now integrated with Todoist through Zapier.

Bubble.io and Todoist integration usecase

Scenario: A small startup team uses Bubble.io to design an application that allows users to create, share and collaborate on tasks. They want to automate the task creation process and manage these tasks effectively on Todoist, a task management tool that the team is already using.

Solution: Integrating Bubble.io with Todoist

Application Development:
The startup team uses Bubble.io to build their task creation and collaboration application. The application includes features like creating tasks, assigning tasks, setting deadlines, and marking task completion.

Setting Up the Integration:
The team installs the Todoist plugin in Bubble.io and configures it with their Todoist API key. They setup workflows in Bubble.io that trigger when a task is created or updated in the application.

Task Creation and Syncing Workflow:
When a user creates or updates a task in the application, the corresponding workflow is triggered. The task data (e.g., task name, assignee, deadline) is automatically sent to Todoist using the configured Todoist plugin action. A new task is created or updated in Todoist with the provided information.

Manage Tasks in Todoist:
The team members use Todoist to view, update and manage their tasks. With built-in features like setting priorities, reminders, and filters, the team can effectively manage their tasks directly from Todoist.

Monitoring and Reporting:
The integration allows for tracking of task statuses and progress in Todoist. Team members can also export reports from Todoist to present task completion rates, team productivity, and other metrics.

Benefits:

Efficiency: Automating the task creation process reduces manual work and ensures timely task management.

Centralized Data: All tasks are stored and managed in Todoist, providing a single source of truth for the team.

Task Management: The team can use Todoist's extensive features to streamline their task management process.

Performance Metrics: The team can evaluate their productivity and task completion rates directly from Todoist.

By integrating Bubble.io with Todoist, the startup team can automate their task creation process in the application, manage tasks more efficiently, and effectively track their productivity.
