Create TickTick tasks from Cleft notes

One-click setup for your TickTick account. Takes 2 minutes.

​
What It Does

Automatically create tasks in TickTick from voice-captured checkboxes. Perfect for users leveraging TickTick’s advanced features—habits, recurring tasks, sub-tasks, and smart lists—with hands-free voice input.

​
How It Works

1

Voice Capture

Create a Cleft note with your ideas
2

Format Checkboxes

Add action items:
- [ ] Exercise 30 minutes
- [ ] Read productivity article
- [ ] Team sync meeting prep

Python extracts all unchecked items
6

Create in TickTick

Each checkbox becomes a TickTick task
7

Smart Features

​
Setup Requirements

  • ✅ Cleft Plus subscription
  • ✅ TickTick account (free or Premium)
  • ✅ Zapier account (free tier works)

​
Installation Steps

  1. Click Install Template
  2. Connect your Cleft account
  3. Connect your TickTick account
  4. Select your target list
  5. Configure optional features
  6. Turn on the Zap
Important: When creating a note, add the tasks tag to trigger automation. This gives you a chance to review items before they sync to TickTick as tasks. Your TickTick lists will auto-populate!

​
Use Cases

​
1. Daily Habit + Task Capture

Voice your habits and tasks in Cleft with checkboxes. TickTick separates them intelligently. Time saved: 20 minutes per day (voice vs manual entry)

​
2. Project Management

Capture project tasks in Cleft. TickTick organizes them with advanced features like dependencies. Time saved: 30 minutes per project kick-off

​
3. Recurring Task Setup

Voice your recurring tasks in Cleft. TickTick handles frequency and scheduling automatically. Time saved: 15 minutes per task type

​
Customization

By default, only notes tagged with tasks will trigger automation (your human review checkpoint). To trigger from every note instead:
  1. Open the Zap in Zapier
  2. Edit the trigger step
  3. Remove the “tags contains tasks” filter
  4. Save and turn on
Now every note with checkboxes will auto-sync to TickTick, with no review step.
Create separate Zaps for different TickTick lists:
  • Work
  • Personal
  • Health
  • Projects
Use filters to route based on content.
Enhance tasks with priority levels and due dates. TickTick supports natural language dates.
Configure recurring patterns directly in TickTick for habits and repeating work.

​
Checkbox Format

- [ ] Task 1
- [ ] Task 2
- [ ] Task 3
Each becomes a TickTick task.

​
Troubleshooting

  1. Checkbox format: Verify - [ ] text
  2. Zap is ON: Check Zapier dashboard
  3. TickTick connection: Ensure proper authentication
Edit the Zap and select the correct TickTick list.
