Create reminders in Todoist for specific status changes in Airtable

Question

I need to build a zap that triggers when a task in a particular table in AT is changed to two specific statuses, and when it happens, I need to create a reminder inside Todoist...Is this even possible?

Welcome to the Community@RogerM!I’m not seeing any “Create Reminder” type of actions available for Todoist so you might need to reach out to our Support team to get a feature request submitted. You could create a task in Todoist though, would be suitable?If so, there’s a couple of ways I can think of that you could try to ensure the Zap only runs for only certain statuses in Airtable:Option 1 - Use Airtable ViewsYou could create two separate Views in Airtable, one for each status. Then set up two Zaps that use theNew or Updated Record (Airtable) trigger. With that trigger you’re able to limit it to look as new records/updates in a specific view. So theZaps would see records that appearineither of the status views then create the relevant task in Todoist.Option 2 - Use a FilterYou could add a filter to check that the status of the record that triggers the Zap matches either of the two specific statuses. If it doesn’t then the Zap would halt and not add the taskin Todoist. If you’ve not worked with Filters in Zaps before I’d recommend checking out this guide:Add conditions to Zaps with filtersHope that helps to get you started. Please let us know how you get on with this!

Anything that would allow me to better track and monitor these reminders.

This is actually SMART!!
