You can check out the other options and make changes if you want. To set your due date for the task (the time you will received a notification from ToDoist) select Expression while in the Due Date box and type: addDays(utcNOW(),4) (see blue arrow) this will create a due date 4 days from flagging the email.

Decide what your tasks will be called – I select the email subject header for this. Project ID is your chosen ToDoist project you want the task to be created in (e.g. Search for ToDoist in the Choose Operation bar and select Create Task – on your first time setting this up you will have to sign in a connect your accounts. Then click on Advanced options if you want to include attachments etc. Select the Outlook inbox you want to flag your emails in (if you want to flag from multiple inboxes you have to make a flow for each one). Then search for Outlook via the Flow trigger search function and select “When an email is flagged” and click create. Then select Create and Automated cloud flow.Ĭlick on cloud flow, give your flow a name e.g. Open Office365 online, sign-in and select Power Automate from the Apps menu. If you don’t set up a project the tasks will go into your ToDoist Inbox by default. Open ToDoist and create a Project where you want to collect your flagged email tasks – mine is called Email to-do. However, after a Twitter conversation I want to show you how to create task in ToDoist from a flagged email using Office365 Power Automate: I’ve been using ToDoist for almost a year and it’s really helped my with my longterm project planning.
