4 ways to automate Any.do with Zapier

1. Create Tasks from New Emails

One of the easiest ways to automate Any.do is by creating tasks directly from your email. By integrating your email service with Zapier, you can set up a workflow that automatically creates a new task in Any.do whenever you receive a new email. This is especially useful for managing tasks that come in through your inbox, ensuring that nothing falls through the cracks.

Here’s how you can set it up:

1. Connect your email service (like Gmail or Outlook) to Zapier.
2. Create a new Zap and choose the trigger event as "New Email."
3. Select Any.do as the action app and choose "Create Task" as the action.
4. Map the fields from your email to the task details in Any.do.

This automation helps streamline your workflow and keeps your tasks organized without the need for manual entry.

2. Sync Tasks with Google Calendar

Keeping your tasks and calendar in sync is crucial for effective time management. By using Zapier, you can automate the process of synchronizing tasks between Any.do and Google Calendar. This integration ensures that you have a clear view of your tasks and deadlines in one place.

To set this up:

1. Connect Any.do and Google Calendar to your Zapier account.
2. Create a new Zap with the trigger event as "New Task in Any.do."
3. Select Google Calendar as the action app and choose "Create Detailed Event."
4. Map the task details to the event fields in Google Calendar.

This way, every time you create a new task in Any.do, it will automatically appear as an event in your Google Calendar, helping you manage your time more effectively.

3. Automate Daily Reminders

Setting up daily reminders is crucial for staying on top of your tasks. With Zapier, you can automate the process of sending daily reminders through various communication channels such as Slack or SMS. This ensures that you never forget important tasks or deadlines.

Here’s how to set up daily reminders for your tasks:

1. Create a new Zap and select "Schedule by Zapier" as the trigger.
2. Choose the frequency for the reminder (e.g., daily at a specific time).
3. Select Any.do or another app (like Slack) as the action app, and choose "Send Message" or "Create Task."
4. Customize the message with your daily tasks or reminders.

This automation helps you stay proactive and ensures that you are always aware of your daily priorities.

4. Manage Projects with Trello Integration

If you use Trello for project management, you can automate the task creation process between Any.do and Trello. This integration allows you to keep track of your projects while managing individual tasks effectively. When you create a new card in Trello, you can automatically generate a corresponding task in Any.do.

To set up this integration:

1. Connect Trello and Any.do to your Zapier account.
2. Create a new Zap and select "New Card in Trello" as the trigger.
3. Select Any.do as the action app and choose "Create Task."
4. Map the Trello card details to the task fields in Any.do.

This integration ensures that your project management and task management are aligned, allowing for better productivity and clearer workflows.
