As others, I have an login infinite loop and I gmail cannot use my Todoist account.
Re-evaluating my subscription for the service - I am having the same problem that Kim Nguyen reported in August. I have had the extension disabled for a few months, and upon re-enabling it, the icon in gmail is greyed out. When I click on it, to pop-up has a button to log in in a new tab, I do so, and the original tab button now says to reload, leading to an infinite loop. My toolbar icon still will create a task for the whole page, which is only partially as good. I am a long-time paid subscriber who is finding this service less and less useful, no longer integrating into Alexa, etc., so will start evaluating other systems for greater functionality. I use this *heavily* so every little reduction in functionality is a huge waste of my time and focus.
Like other reviews have stated - it asks for me to login, which I do, it reloads, and then asks to login again. I have uninstalled and reinstalled this extension as well as clearing cookies/cache and it does not work.
This does not work for Chrome; the process gets stuck, it logs to the Todoist in a new tab, and then doesn’t finish properly in Gmail.
I normally love Todoist - I'm a pro user- but this extension doesn't work at all. When I install it, it prompts me to launch a sign-in window in a new window. I sign in to todoist, and the gmail pop-up tab prompts me to hit the refresh button. But then, it just keeps loading and loading without doing anything, and then tells me there was an error and I have to log out. I do so, and the process starts again. Also, when I have the extension installed, my gmail window randomly displays a prompt to "leave site." Both clicking leave and cancel does nothing. Really hope this gets fixed.
Unfortunately it does not work. Arc browser (Chrome engine)
Not working
I don't understand how only copying the subject of an email into a Todoist item is helpful. Why wouldn't the body of the email be populated into the item description? And/or adding a link to the original email would be helpful. As is this isn't much faster / more helpful that just manually copying the subject into a new Todoist item.
The Todoist for Gmail extension has a repeatable bug on M1 MAX MacBook Pros and crashes Chrome when a Gmail tab is opened. This does not happen if the Todoist for Gmail extension is disabled but happens again whenever it is enabled. The weird thing is this does not happen on M1 MacBook Pros or an M1 Mac Mini, only on an M1 Max MacBook Pro 16. I have uninstalled the extension, Chrome and refreshed Todoist on the web with no success in eliminating the bug. I have reported this bug to Todoist and Google as it appeared after the last update of Chrome, but no response from Todoist and the ability to report bugs to Todoist is a frustrating process buried in their website.
Doesn't work
Doesn´t happen anything, this app doesn´t work.
Currently just takes me to the Inbox when I clicked a task created from an email...
Doesn't seem to work. I click on the icon and it just shows the loading screen. I tried clearing my cache, but after waiting for it for another 10 minutes I gave up.
Currently Nonfunctional
Does not work...
Cannot log in now, extension says: "CSRF tokens mismatch". Please fix it. Thanks.
Works in principle. But theres NO SHORTCUT to add a Task whilst reading an email. There is "q" mentioned, but this opens the hangout interface in the corner down left. "q" only works if the Todoist bar (little window in the corner down right) gets the focus. My expectation is to process my inbox without touching the mouse (adding emails as todoist tasks if necessary).
The extension is fully broken as of 7/22/19 - only shows broken CSS elements: _dark .loading_screen--spinner .ring_track { fill: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4); }
Currently doesn't work at all. When I click the Todoist icon within Gmail, a box pops up with broken CSS in it, the Todoist logo, and an otherwise empty box. Extension does nothing now.
Does not work!
Stopped working after recent update. Now returns 404 error, page not found. Shame, was good while it lasted
As many have now stated Todoist is currently having issues with the new 2018 version of Gmail. I'm surprised to see posts here going back to June (it's now the end of August) without a fix. It's a HUGE GIGANTIC problem if you're using Todoist to link back to emails. I've hope they fix this or I'll have to find a new product. I've contacted the developer but have recieved no reply as of yet.
Used to work. Now I get an error when loading Gmail. The extension still appears to be there but when I click on it I get a 404 error. I have tried this in both the updated and classic versions of Gmail. No joy. Just a thought, could this be related to chrome vs. gmail? Perhaps the new "site isolation" feature in v67+?
It adds a mini "window" inside Gmail that often grabs keyboard focus, especially when first loading or refreshing Gmail. It's frustrating to have to repeatedly grab the mouse in order to make the keyboard work again. On the Mac, when it grabs focus it even intercepts Command+R ("reload") and Command+numbers (switch tab). I can tell this is what's grabbed focus because hitting "?" launches the Todoist help page. If not for the focus grabbing issue, it would be three stars because it needlessly clutters the Gmail window. There's no option to permanently disable the mini window while keeping the button for turning emails into tasks. I didn't want Todoist cluttering Gmail. I only wanted the single button.
Does't work with the Gmail. Works to send email to Todoist but does not "link right back to the original email so you won’t have to hunt for it later". With new Gmail only takes you back to the inbox NOT the original email. No update on resolution. So either use only the original gmail or find another task manager.
AGREE. GET RID OF THE ICON IN MY GMAIL INBOX!
Agree with everyone else today. Get rid of that overwhelming and distracting column in my Gmail in box! I want it gone - kindly expedite this.
The red todoist icon beside every email is very annoying. Please turn it off or at least make it optional.
Loved this plugin until latest update, which has be accidentally clicking on the todoist icon now found next to every single gmail. This should be an option, not the new default. Am turning off this extension after years enjoying old design. The extension is now wasting my time rather than improving my workflow.
Causes Gmail to crash in Chrome.
Doesn't work at all. I'm logged in on both gmail and todoist and the icon is still greyed out. The "general" todoist extension works without issue.
I can't log in, no matter what I try. My account is linked to my Google account, but if i try that way, it get a "invalid or missing csrf token". if i try with email & password (yes, i set my pw), i get "Bad Request / CSRF tokens mismatch"
Icon in taskbar is grayed out. clicked on the settings in gmail and it was blank. Closed it in gmail and it doesn't work. I think whatever is wrong with this in gmail is breaking it across the board.
Not working
at this moment Incompatible with inbox where google redirects me to so I removed it again from chrome. It it is compatible again I sure will use it.
icon greyed out, cannot do anything!
The icon is grayed out and it's not showing the plugin on gmail.
CSRF tokens mismatch Error Doesn't work
opens a blank page
Please can you fix problem with login to my account in gmail
opens a blank page
Buggy.
Can't be dismissed if your browser tab is zoomed in beyond 100%, because title bar is cut off on top of screen. Stopped working randomly after that. Uninstalled.
ToDoist comes up blank, used to work.
can't use it at all or I am to stupid to get it... :/
Panel comes up blank and I can't find any troubleshooting forums to fix it.
No longer working. It will not recognize my google password or my todoist password.
Terribly plan to use a panel and many UI bugs make it unusable. Why not simply code up a collapsible iframe sidebar? Otherwise you're better off using the desktop app or the native web interface if you want to be productive. EDIT Feb 2019: Still utterly useless. A pop up that covers your inbox instead of using the built-in sidebar in Gmail? Why god, why?!
I tried to remove it from my chrome, however it seems like I am stock with it as it does not show up under my Apps page. So, every time I open my gmail, this app pops up, so I have to close it manually every time I open gmail.
Won't let me log in (on Google app domain or gmail account). :( Tried to disconnect my Google login and made my own todoist password.. same result: Can't log in.
