    Hi,

    I'm trying to sync multi-user delegations from ToodleDo on TaskUnifier but am having some trouble. I can create contacts in TU using the same information as shared users in ToodleDo, but assignments don't seem to carry over from one to the other (in either direction).

    For example, I have a folder I share with another user on ToodleDo, but when a task is assigned to the other user on ToodleDo, it doesn't show up at all on TU, and vice versa.

    Is there a resource that can help me with setting this up? I'm using the beta of TU for reference.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    I don't understand…
    You want to share folders ? Or a task ? Or contacts ?

    So, on ToodleDo my wife and I each have pro accounts. This lets us delegate tasks to each other. So, I can create a task and assign it to myself, or her, or both of us. Then it shows up in the respective task lists...so if I create a task for her, when she syncs it shows up as a task in her list.

    When we do this, though, any task assigned to the other person does not sync into Task Unifier.

    Similarly, if I create her as a contact in Task Unifier (not sure if that's the right way to do it or not), and assign her to a task, it does not sync as such into ToodleDo.

    So yes, I would like to share folders and tasks and contacts in a way that syncs up with ToodleDo. I'm not sure if I'm doing it wrong or if this is not part of the functionality of TaskUnifier.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Ok, well unfortunatelly Toodledo doesn't allow third party apps to use the delegation feature.

    The contacts you see in TaskUnifier are specific to TaskUnifier, it's a way to by pass the limitation from Toodledo, but that's also why it doesn't work as expected at Toodledo side.

    Toodledo knows this and it's on their todo list, but they do not communicate any release date (that's their policy) and I doubt it will be available soon.

    If you absolutely want to do this with TaskUnifier you can use the "Contact -> Mail to..." and shared tasks this way, but of course it was not designed to shared many tasks.

    It's more a once in a while feature.

    OK, thanks for explaining. I hope when/if Toodledo provides access that you'll include this feature. Its the only thing missing from my workstyle.
