How to Sync Notion with Microsoft To Do
Connect Notion and Microsoft To Do in both directions so task titles, completion status, and due dates stay aligned.

Why use Notion and Microsoft To Do together?
Notion is useful for project context, databases, and team documentation. Microsoft To Do is built for a focused daily list and fits naturally into a Microsoft account workflow.
Connecting them lets you plan in Notion and act from Microsoft To Do without manually recreating or completing the same task twice.
What you need before starting
- A Notion database containing task pages
- A title property and Status property or completion checkbox
- An optional Due date property
- Access to the Microsoft account containing your To Do lists
Configure the sync
- Create or sign in to TaskAcross.
- Authorize Notion and Microsoft using their OAuth screens.
- Choose the Notion database and Microsoft To Do list.
- Confirm the supported property mapping.
- Run the initial sync and inspect several tasks in both apps.
- Enable automatic background syncing when the results match your workflow.
What stays synchronized
TaskAcross supports the fields that matter for a simple task workflow: the title, whether the task is complete, and its due date. Updates can travel in both directions.
Rich Notion page content and every platform-specific Microsoft To Do field are not interchangeable. Keep project notes and complex relationships in Notion, while using To Do as the execution layer.
A practical Microsoft 365 workflow
Create and organize project actions inside a Notion database. Pair that database with a Microsoft To Do list, then use My Day and Microsoft mobile apps to choose what to work on. Completing a supported task in To Do updates its Notion status on the next sync.
For separate clients or teams, create different sync groups rather than mixing every task into one list.
Troubleshooting checklist
- Confirm the Notion integration still has access to the selected database.
- Relink Microsoft if the account is marked as requiring authorization.
- Check that required Notion properties still have the expected types.
- Review the TaskAcross activity log to see which source and target were involved.
- Avoid overlapping automation rules that update the same tasks.
