Microsoft ToDo is a task management software, created by a team previously responsible for Wunderlist. By enabling the TimeCamp and Microsoft ToDo integration you’ll be able to track time on your folders, to-do lists, and todos.

Overview

The integration will be enabled for the entire account, so all users will be able to track time on imported tasks. The integration will be connected to the Microsoft ToDo account of the person who enabled the integration.  

Lists will be imported as tasks under the Microsoft ToDo project. Tasks will be imported as subtasks under the tasks (lists) they belong to in TimeCamp. 

If someone from your Team added their private lists in Microsoft ToDo and the person who created the integration was not invited to these lists, they won’t be imported to TimeCamp. Only items the owner of integration has access to could be imported.

We provide an option to select lists that should or should not be imported from Microsoft ToDo to TimeCamp. After the integration is enabled and you selected the desired lists, all tasks the owner of integration has access to will be imported to the Projects module in TimeCamp.

After the integration is created and the Microsoft ToDo items are imported, all users will be automatically assigned to the  Microsoft ToDo project and tasks as Regular users. You can manually change their roles in this project and unassign selected users from the entire project or add them only to certain tasks.  If users are assigned to the main project Microsoft ToDo they will be able to track time to all tasks under the Microsoft ToDo project structure. If users are assigned only to certain tasks, they will be able to track time only to these tasks and subtasks under the tasks’ structure.

Tasks marked as completed or deleted in Microsoft ToDo will be automatically moved to the list of Archived tasks in TimeCamp. If you create a new item in Microsoft ToDo it will be automatically imported to TimeCamp within 1 hour. To immediately synchronize the integration and update newly added items use the “Force synchronization” option on TimeCamp web Timesheet. Synch will be executed within a few seconds.

Track time on imported items
