Kaizen Todos

The Kaizen Todos block fetches todos from the Kaizen platform with powerful filtering capabilities. Use this block to retrieve todos based on completion status, collection, priority, buckets, tags, deadlines, and more.

When to use

Use Kaizen Todos in any workflow that needs a set of todos: scheduling (e.g. daily pick), adding to a bucket, hiding, finding similar items, or discovery prompts. Typical next blocks: kaizen_schedule_todos, kaizen_add_todos, kaizen_hide_todos, kaizen_similar, kaizen_metadata_extractor.

Referencing Outputs

Use the <block_id.todoIds> or <block_id.todos> syntax to reference outputs in downstream blocks. The block_id must match the block you added (e.g. if the block_id is fetch_todos, use <fetch_todos.todoIds>).
