Set up the Todoist trigger, and make magic happen automatically in Facebook Messenger. Zapier's automation tools make it easy to connect Todoist and Facebook Messenger. Todoist is designed to be simple to use, yet powerful enough to take on your most ambitious projects. To make sure you’re in the know about just how powerful Todoist can get, we’ve put together a list of 19 lesser-known features that make adding and organizing your tasks faster, more personalized, and, dare we say it, more fun. Just like the rest of it, starting with Todoist is simple and can be unique to you. You can create an account using your Facebook, Google, Apple, or email account. As you begin, you can pick the theme you want your Todoist to be—the traditional red-and-white, a dark theme, a neutral white and grey, or a cheery tangerine. In the top right corner, click Add to Todoist. If asked to log in to your Todoist account, click Log in and enter your login details for your Todoist account. A Todoist panel will open, where you can enter a name for your task, assign a due date, a project, labels and priority level. Once you’re done editing your task, click Add task.

Todoist is one of the best to-do list applications on the market, but there are alternatives.
We’re here to shortlist a few of the best Todoist alternatives and recommendations.
⚡️ Some might include affiliate links
1. TickTick
Set up the Facebook Pages trigger, and make magic happen automatically in Todoist. Zapier's automation tools make it easy to connect Facebook Pages and Todoist.
TickTick is probably Todoist’s closest rival. Like a long-lost cousin, they have similar traits - a to-do list, filters, tags, boards and a very similar design.
However, TickTick adds a layer of habit tracking, custom themes and calendar view locked away in premium. If you want something close to Todoist, without being Todoist, this is your best bet.
2. Things 3
If Todoist was a bit too cluttered. Then Things 3 is the clutter-free minimal design you might be looking for, with an entirely different method to working (upcoming, anytime, someday)
Things 3 takes time to get used to, but offers a stunning alternative to Todoist without a subscription fee, although if you have a Mac, iPad and iPhone, you’ll still be shelling out a one-off $80 price.
3. Zenkit To-Do
Probably the newest of the options, but offers the best suite experience. Zenkit To-Do provides a Wunderlist like experience to managing your tasks, offering themes, tasks, project lists and tags.
All very helpful but not totally offering a full feature comparison to Todoist, but if you are looking at Microsoft To-Do, it’ll be a better bet than that overall, if budgets not your worry.
4. ClickUp
This is primarily a project management software, but offers a helpful free and personal version of the account. This is perfect if your goal is to manage your tasks and projects in a variety of flexible views - like timeline, board and table view, to name a few.
5. Any.Do
Todoist Book
Any.Do provides a much more relaxed way to manage your tasks, but the special feature people love is being able to see their calendar events alongside their tasks, combined with a minimal design and look.
This is more suited to the folks who want a balanced to-do list application, with very little to learn when you get started.
Others notable alternatives include 2Do, Remember the Milk and Sorted 3.
