While a task title and project are required, all other syntax is optional and can appear in any order. Example Task #myproject +mysection /tomorrow at 3pm !p2 (do this soon!) Here is an example of a task created in Obsidian using all of this syntax: Creating tasks from Obsidian using Todoist Tasks. Lastly, notes can be added to a task by including text inside parentheses, which will be added to the description field in Todoist. A task priority can be added using ! followed by a priority, ranging from p1 to p4. A due date can be added to a task using / followed by a due date string.ĭue dates are described in natural language (find out more here). Sections are groups which can be added to a project in Todoist, and are created using + followed by the section name. A task can have any number of labels, which are created using followed by the label name.

Tasks can also have optional labels, sections, due date, priority, and notes. Each task must have a Todoist project specified, which can be added using a # followed by the project name. The task title is used in Todoist, and any metadata must follow the title. Tasks are created by adding a Markdown task using the - syntax. The syntax for defining tasks in Obsidian is loosely based on the Todoist Quick Add syntax.
