Todoist to Microsoft SQL Server Integration

How Datrise loads Todoist into Microsoft SQL Server

Datrise syncs Todoist's tasks, projects, sections, labels, comments, and completed tasks into Microsoft SQL Server as a typed table per source entity. Flexible or custom fields land in NVARCHAR(MAX) JSON columns, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as datetime2.

Sync is incremental: Datrise uses a watermark on updated-at, applied with a MERGE statement, so re-runs update only what changed. Optional partitioned tables on a date partition function. SQL Server defaults to a case-insensitive collation, so Datrise preserves original casing in a metadata column to avoid silent key collisions.

Ideal for Microsoft-stack analytics and Power BI Import models.

Endpoints

projects	`todoist_projects`	id PK · linked to todoist_tasks
sections	`todoist_sections`	id PK · linked to todoist_tasks
labels	`todoist_labels`	id PK · linked to todoist_tasks

FAQ

How does Datrise handle Todoist's custom fields in Microsoft SQL Server?

Flexible values are stored as NVARCHAR(MAX) JSON columns, so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native Microsoft SQL Server types.

How does the Todoist to Microsoft SQL Server sync stay up to date?

It runs incrementally — Datrise uses a watermark on updated-at, applied with a MERGE statement.
