Re-labelling imported Todoist tasks is a huge waste of time and makes me question whether using Akiflow is a wise choice afterall.

Importing projects (and even sections!) would be amazing as well. I wonder if it's possible to do a basic text match for this. I tried creating the same project hierarchy in Todoist as what I'd built out in Akiflow, exactly the same capitalization, spelling, and emoji (where applicable), in hopes that it would auto-match for me. No such luck. But if the parent project/label info is being pulled in already from Todoist tasks, would it work to allow auto-assignment of exact match labels (to Todoist projects) and tags (to Todoist labels)?

Jeff Rowberg: I paid for a yearly subscription because I love Akiflow's snappy keyboard entry, and I thought it would boost my productivity. However, I did not realise then, that my Todoist tasks would import to Akiflow in such a barebones manner. I already wasted far too much time setting up my projects, labels, and filters in Todoist. I draw the line on sorting and categorising tasks twice, especially on an ongoing basis. It doesn't seem sensible to switch to Akiflow for task entry either as Todoist excels at this with its app on any platform. So, I haven't been using Akiflow since I subscribed. I would reconsider if my projects, and labels were synced into Akiflow.

Guys I am ready to develop this myself and for free. As mvp for this i see just importing project names (flat, without nested structure) during the sync, looks easy to do and you can do it using their default read resources uri. I am pretty sure you won't event need a client changes https://developer.todoist.com/sync/v9/#read-resources
p.s any programming language doesn't matter, can sign an nda

Augustvilakia@gmail.com: Thank you so much for your offer and the initiative you’re taking here. We really appreciate your willingness to contribute and the detailed breakdown you’ve provided. We’re notifying our internal team about this to see if it aligns with our roadmap and whether it’s something we can work on and prioritize.
We’ll get back to you soon once we have more clarity on this. In the meantime, your willingness to sign an NDA and help out is noted, and we’ll keep that in mind as we explore next steps.

This, alongside creating new tasks in Todoist, would be perfect and solidify the power of Akiflow.

This is really a must feature, having to manually filter each Todoist task is really asking too much. Appreciate the 2-way sync but that is really just the start. Keep up the good work!

This would be amazing. It'd be neat to have 2-way sync of labels?

Can you please let us know the status of this feature? I recently got into akiflow and loving the app experience so far. I was initially confused to see that my projects did not get imported from todoist, nor did my projects get auto assigned/imported when I create a new task in todoist. My use case is to use todoist for quick capture, where I will consolidate by project already. This should reflect in the respective project in akiflow. With the AI, I can see it assigning a project based on what it thinks, rather than what the actual project name is for what the task is.
Without this feature, one it breaks my current workflow. two I need to recreate entire todoist structure in akiflow. three, it also makes me reconsider subscription.

Can this same feature also include nested Projects? For example the primary/parent Project might be "Administration" with nested Projects of "Email Administration" and/or "General Administration" etc. If all of the tasks that come into Akiflow are just all dumped in with no form of hierarchy then it just ends up being one big overwhelming mess.
Please consider including nested Projects as part of the import process, so essentially you are mimicking the Todoist layout. From there, users can manipulate the data using different views, or, just focus on tasks in one Project and/or nested Project/s.
Thanks.

Hi, Jeson P. Thanks for the reminder that AI will automatically assign projects to tasks. Looks like this request is about importing Todoist's labels (tags), not project names.

Yeah, I'm really seeing the value and wisdom in this, too. It would be so helpful to be able to important Todoist Project A into Akiflow Project A (or B or C) directly. And to bring the tags/labels along would be that much better.
