How We Help

Australian mid-market businesses lose hours every week copying tasks and projects between Todoist and Zapier. Clever Ops builds a custom integration that automates this entire workflow, so your team can redirect that time to higher-value tasks. On the technical side, Todoist uses a REST + Webhook API with Bearer authentication, which our team handles as part of the build.

Amplify Todoist Strengths

Todoist excels because natural language task input ("Meeting with Sarah tomorrow at 3pm #work p1") creates tasks with dates, projects, and priorities from a single typed line. Connecting it to Zapier ensures that advantage flows through your entire workflow rather than staying siloed in one tool.

Maximise Billable Hours

When time-tracking and client data sync between Todoist and Zapier automatically, your consultants spend more time on client work and less on admin.

Scalable Without Extra Headcount

As your data volume grows, the integration scales with you. No need to hire additional admin staff to keep Todoist and Zapier in sync, even as your business doubles.

Real-Time Visibility Across Teams

When a record updates in Todoist, every team member working in Zapier sees the change instantly. No lag, no stale dashboards, no conflicting reports.
