Where your token lives

Where your token lives — 

The credential is stored where you choose when you create it:

• Local (this browser only): encrypted in this browser. The encryption key is kept on the same device, so turn on the local secret vault to lock it with a passphrase only you know.
• Cloud (synced to your account): sent over an encrypted connection and stored encrypted on AWFlow’s server, so it works on your other devices.

When a step runs, your browser sends it only to api.todoist.com. AWFlow’s servers never relay the call.

Common issues

• “401 Unauthorized” or “403 Forbidden”. The token is wrong or was replaced. Copy the current one and update the credential.
• The token leaked. Issue a new token on the same page; the old one stops working.
• The run is blocked in the web app. Todoist runs through the browser extension. Install the extension and allow Todoist for this workflow when asked, or run the workflow from the extension. See Extension-only integrations in the web app.
