Connecting Todoist to My Apps only requires entering your account information!
If Slack and Todoist are displayed in My Apps, registration is complete!
Step 2: Copy the Template
We use templates for easy setup, so let's start by copying this. Log into Yoom and click "Try it" on the banner below.
When you copy, the template will be copied to the Yoom management screen as shown below, so let's press "OK" and proceed with the settings.
Step 3: Setting to activate when posted on Slack
This is the first memorable setting! First, please click on the red frame below.
When you click, you will move to the following screen. The item labeled account information contains the information from when you linked your My App in Step 1. Keep the trigger action as is and proceed to the next step!
When you proceed to the next screen, the following screen will be displayed.
Please set the trigger activation time as desired. (The options will vary depending on the Yoom plan.) Select the channel you want to post to from the candidate, conduct a test, and if successful, click save.
Step 4: Setting to retrieve content posted on Slack
Once the trigger setting is complete, click on the red frame below.
1. Please select the conversion type according to the number of characters.
2. When you proceed to the next step, the following screen will be displayed.
Click on "Target Text" to display output options, and select "Message Body". For "Items to Extract", specify the items you want to extract from the target text, separated by commas (,).
Conduct a test, and if successful, save it.
Step 5: Setting to create a task in Todoist
Finally, the last setting! Set up to create a task in Todoist when posted on Slack. Click on the red frame below.
1. Make sure the account information linked with Todoist is correct. Do not change the action from "Create Task".
2. Next, connect to the API. "Content" is set by default. If the test is successful, click save.
Step 6: Set the trigger to ON and complete the flow operation preparation
This completes the flow bot! Well done!
Finally, turn the trigger ON. With this, all settings are complete, so let's check if a record is added to Todoist when a post is made to the channel on Slack! This was the method to create a task in Todoist when a post is made to a channel on Slack!

Utilizing the knowledge gained through experience so far, I am involved in the production of content that contributes to improving work productivity. We aim to disseminate useful and valuable information and deliver useful content to as many people as possible.
Conventional RPA can only automate simple repetitive tasks, and the setup process was very complicated. With “hyperautomation,” which combines various technologies such as AI, API, RPA, and OCR, it is possible to automate many tasks that could not be realized until now more easily than before.
Most tools simply connect one app to another, leaving the complex tasks to you. Yoom goes much further: From document creation and browser automation to OCR and generative AI, Yoom handles it all seamlessly in one platform.
Why settle for basic integrations? Streamline your entire workflow with Yoom’s powerful hyperautomation.
