Help CenterIf you manage your projects through Todoist and use LiveChat on your page this integration is fit for you – you can join those two apps via Zapier. Every time your chat visitors give you inspirational ideas, have queries about their purchases (on which you need to check later) or report errors via LiveChat you can add a tag to such chats and pass them as tasks to Todoist.
Here's a tutorial with instructions on how to create a Zap that will create a task in your Todoist after a 'note' tag is added to a chat.
