Idea: Using it as Endpoint for Todoist Webhook

[blankster]

Disclaimer: I am well aware that time is a limited resource, but I wanted to share an idea I realized years ago with a DIY solution with someone who also views Todoist as a focus for getting things done. Please ignore if this is not of interest, but I am not aware of such an approach currently, and I believe the idea has potential.

After a long time, I stumbled upon Habitica again and was very pleased with this project, especially since years ago I had cobbled something together myself because I had come to the same conclusion as you: namely that Todoist is the best task management tool, while Habitica offers many other advantages, and that it is not trivial to keep both in sync. Back then, I went a bit further and used Todoist for habits, dailies, and rewards as a universal interface, but I would like to share a relatively simple idea that might interest you and could be an extension of this project:

This is a local solution that synchronizes, but why not have an API endpoint that can be triggered by a webhook from Todoist when completing a task? In its simplest form, such an endpoint can directly forward actions to Habitica and do exactly what you do, namely create and complete a task in Habitica (or theoretically trigger other things). This way, no pulling is necessary, and there is no delay unless explicitly desired.

I was amazed at how well it worked back then and can only recommend this approach. At that time, I had extended the whole thing so that additional actions could be triggered via labels, such as triggering rewards, dailies, or habits (triggered by attached labels and text-matching).
To keep Todoist up to date and have triggers, I used some label strategies: If, for example, @recreate was used, I immediately recreated the task via the Todoist API (which is quite fast also with updating the UI). This way, within Todoist, I had triggers similar to Habitica, which allowed me to keep Habitica very timely synchronized through Todoist and focus on completing tasks rather than procrastinating with Habitica. When I was able to focus on Habitica, everything was up to date.

I am very aware that you have a different approach, but as someone who might also consider Todoist an extremely important tool, I thought I would share this idea with you. If you have any questions about what I have written, feel free to let me know. My tinkering will hardly be of any use to you, but it worked, and the concept has potential.
