## 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

<Steps>
  <Step title="Voice Capture">
    Create a Cleft note with your ideas
  </Step>

  <Step title="Format Checkboxes">
    Add action items:

    ```markdown theme={null}
    - [ ] Exercise 30 minutes
    - [ ] Read productivity article
    - [ ] Team sync meeting prep
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tag with 'tasks'">
    Add the **tasks** tag to your note. This is your human review checkpoint—review the items before they sync to TickTick as tasks.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Automation triggers immediately
  </Step>

  <Step title="Extract">
    Python extracts all unchecked items
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create in TickTick">
    Each checkbox becomes a TickTick task
  </Step>

  <Step title="Smart Features">
    Tasks integrate with TickTick's habits, recurring, and list systems
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 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

<Accordion title="Change Trigger to All Notes" role="button" aria-expanded="false">
  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.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Separate by List/Project" role="button" aria-expanded="false">
  Create separate Zaps for different TickTick lists:

  * Work
  * Personal
  * Health
  * Projects

  Use filters to route based on content.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Add Priority and Due Dates" role="button" aria-expanded="false">
  Enhance tasks with priority levels and due dates. TickTick supports natural language dates.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Set Recurring Tasks" role="button" aria-expanded="false">
  Configure recurring patterns directly in TickTick for habits and repeating work.
</Accordion>

## Checkbox Format

```markdown theme={null}
- [ ] Task 1
- [ ] Task 2
- [ ] Task 3
```

Each becomes a TickTick task.

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Tasks not appearing" role="button" aria-expanded="false">
    1. **Checkbox format**: Verify `- [ ] text`
    2. **Zap is ON**: Check Zapier dashboard
    3. **TickTick connection**: Ensure proper authentication
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Wrong list" role="button" aria-expanded="false">
    Edit the Zap and select the correct TickTick list.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
