Sync Dropbox Paper tasks with Todoist and vice versa

I am a huge fan of Todoist and Dropbox Paper. I would like to know if and when it will be possible to sync tasks created in Dropbox Paper can be synced with other major todo/task apps like Todoist.

So when you create a todo in Dropbox Paper it will be generated in Todoist. If completion dates are then assigned in Todoist or Dropbox Paper, these get synced. Is this something worth considering?

    I'd love to put a vote for this. I have many papers that I put tasks in, then I go and copy each one that I am committing to into my todoist, but I would love if I could instead just show a list of tasks in a project directly inline in paper. That would be a pretty killer feature, I don't even need it to sync into dropbox paper tasks, I'd just like to see the list from todoist inline so that it is my source of truth.

     

    That would essentially allow me to make project pages for my projects in paper, and see the tasks entered in todoist and save me a ton of copying back and forth. I find myself not using paper when the list goes out of sync, and just keeping notes in todoist comments instead.

    I will not use dropbox paper again until this becomes on option. Too many redundant tasks. Its not condusive to my workflow

    Ability to insert todo project or filter in Paper.

    Or just sync Paper todo with specific Todoist project. Todoist have something similar with Calendar - maybe it could be synced and inserted in Paper.

    Inserting todoist project inside Dropbox Paper with actual todo status of tasks and users. Eventually you can implement just better todo in Dropbox Paper.

    I am in the same scenario. I use Todoist as my central poiint to manage all my to dos. When I create To Dos in Paper, which I love to do in the context of note-taking, I then have to cpy each to my to do manager. Allowing for these to be synced - directly or through IFFT (as it was mentioned before) would be very valuable and appreciate features for me. Thanks.
