I open chrome. i have one tab be my toggl timer page. another tab is todoist. i have the toggl chrome extension installed. if i enable todoist in the toggl extension integrations a small timer button appears next to the task and i click it. it asks for a project and a timer is started. today, the timer button still appears, but clicking it does nothing. any advice is welcome. deleted everything reinstall, rebooted, deleted chrome and reinstalled nothing makes it work

It sounds like the Todoist integration in your Toggl Chrome extension has stopped working even though you’ve already tried the standard troubleshooting steps.

Since you’ve already reinstalled the extension and rebooted, here are a few additional things you can try:

First, make sure you’re logged into Toggl in the Chrome extension. Sometimes authentication can expire or get disconnected, which would prevent the integration from working.

Also check that the Todoist integration is properly enabled in your extension settings and that your Toggl account still has access to it.

If the timer button appears but doesn’t respond when clicked, try clearing your Chrome cache and cookies for the Todoist website specifically, then reload the page.

If none of these steps resolve it, there may be a temporary issue with how the Todoist integration is communicating with Toggl. In that case, you can still track time by using the main Toggl Track interface or the timer directly in the extension - you’ll just need to manually create the entry and select your project rather than clicking the button on Todoist.

if i copy the name of the task exactly and paste it into toggl and i copy the name of the project exactly and paste it into toggl, then the little button in todoist turns purple for that task only. if i click it, the timer is stopped and the button turns gray and no longer works.

I have exactly the same issue. The Toggl button is visible inside the opened task in Todoist, but clicking it does not start the timer at all. At the same time, if I start the timer manually in Toggl using the exact same task name and project name, the button in Todoist turns purple for that task and works for stopping the timer. So active timer detection works, but starting the timer from Todoist does not. I also see this integration script error in the console: TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'before') at todoist.js.
