Question

Failed to find a task in Todoist: Error from halted execution: Nothing could be found for the search.

Hi.
I have a problem with the “find task” function with todoist.
I explain my scenario:
Step 1_ trigger: a task is completed
Step 2_: look for the ID of the completed task (find nothing)
Step_3: send a notification email (the address to be notified is custom and is taken from the task name which is always in the format "Name <email address>"

The second step always returns that it hasn't found anything. It's not clear to me if and what I'm doing wrong…

Thanks a lot!!

Luca R.

Hi there @LucaRe,

Welcome to the Community! 🎉

I’m so sorry to hear about to troubles with the Zap.

I looked at the screenshot, and it looks like the data you mapped in the “Name” field in the “Find Task” action is the ID of the task, and the “Name” field looks for the task’s name.

Before we dive deeper, could you please let me know or send a screenshot if the trigger returns this information that you mentioned:

"Name <email address>"

Please be sure blur out a part any personal information in the screenshot.

Thanks! 😊
