So here is the thing. I am finding it hard to see what I am doing that is wrong. I am trying to create a new zap that basically prevents any syncing errors between my two task databases. In this zap i want to if i update a task in ticktick in any way. For that update to reflect on Todoist. 

The problem is that i dont know how to FIND the task dynamically from the found task that is updated in the trigger. So the same title/task name, needs to update what has been updated like date, priority etc. 

 

But it gives me an error that it can't find the task when i put in the dynamic taskname in the name section. And a find task action in between the two doesn't seems to resolve it.

Hi @dutchdragon 

Add this Zap step: Todoist - Find Task

That will return the Todoist Task ID.
