I am trying to integrate Microsoft ToDo with Any.do. I am able to successfully create ToDo’s in either app. I am trying to set up zaps that update the Tasks in either app when they are marked completed. So My Zap does this: Trigger - Updated Microsoft ToDo Task → Find Task in Any.Do based on Title of Microsoft ToDo Task → Filter to NOT update the Any.do task if it is already set to “Completed” → Update Any.do task (set the Task field of the Action step to ID of the Task from the Find Task. The problem is this ONLY works with the ID I specify when creating/editing the Zap. I want this Zap to work on ANY task, not just the task as specified when creating and editing the task. Is this even possible? It seems like a very simple thing to do, yet I don’t see a way of using an actual variable to hold the found task!

Hi Troy - What I don’t understand is that in the set up of a custom action, task that gets updated is the ID of the task in the definition. It’s not variable. If I run the zap again, it doesn’t do anything because the ID of a different task is not found. see attached.

So I think it is working now, however, I want the Status field in the Any.Do task to change to “Completed”. If you see in the attached image, the options for Status are “Checked”, “Unchecked” or “Deleted” which do not make sense.

Perhaps test each option and check the Task in Any.do?
Maybe Checked = Completed.
