What you can automate

What can the TickTick Make integration do for you?

The TickTick Make integration lets Make create, edit, complete and delete your TickTick tasks and lists for you. You build a scenario (the automation Make runs) out of modules (one brick each), and the TickTick modules handle the task side while another app supplies the data.

Turn incoming requests into tasks. A support ticket, a form reply or a new record in a spreadsheet can start the scenario, and Create a Task drops a matching task in the right list. Nobody copies anything by hand.

Close the loop when work is done elsewhere. When a deal is marked won or an invoice gets paid in another tool, Complete a Task ticks off the related to-do, and Update a Task can rewrite it if the plan changes.

Spin up a list per project. Create a List opens a fresh list when a new client signs, and List Lists lets you check what already exists before adding more.

There is a catch: TickTick has no trigger in Make, so the scenario always starts from another app or from the schedule. Whatever the modules skip, Make an API Call can reach through the same connection. To weigh the platforms, read the Make review and the n8n vs Make comparison, and check Make pricing before you scale up.

Connect

How do you connect TickTick to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a TickTick module

    You need an active TickTick account first. In your scenario, add any TickTick module, then click Create a connection. A connection is your TickTick account linked to Make once and reused by every TickTick module.

  2. 02

    Name the connection

    The Connection name field is optional, but a clear name helps once you run several accounts, for example one for your own tasks and one for the team workspace.

  3. 03

    Authorize your account

    Follow the on-screen instructions, or paste the credentials you copied from TickTick. For the advanced setup, register an app in the TickTick Developer Center and copy its Client ID and Client secret into Make.

First scenario

Your first scenario with TickTick and Make

GoalWhen a new request arrives in another app, Make creates a matching task in your TickTick list.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Pick the app that receives your requests as the first module, since TickTick has no trigger of its own.

  2. 02

    Add Create a Task

    Click the + on the right of that first module, search for TickTick and choose Create a Task. Click Create a connection if you have not linked your account yet.

  3. 03

    Map the request data

    Pick the target list, which Make shows once the connection exists, then drag the subject or name from the first module into the task fields. Each bundle (one request) becomes one task.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once to execute the scenario a single time. Open the bubbles to read the bundles each module received, then check TickTick for the new task.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the schedule on the first module (every 15 minutes by default) and switch the scenario on. Each module run counts as an operation, the unit Make counts on your plan.

Modules

What TickTick can do in Make

TickTick gives you 10 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

TickTick1

Complete a Task

Action

In MakeCompletes a specific task.

Marks one TickTick task as done, so your list reflects what already happened elsewhere. Choose it over Delete a Task whenever the work was actually carried out.

When to use it
right after a payment clears or a ticket closes in another tool, to tick off the matching to-do.
Watch out
the module needs to know which task to close, so keep the task reference from an earlier Create a Task or Get a Task.
TickTick2

Create a List

Action

In MakeCreates a specific list.

Opens a brand-new list in TickTick, which gives each client, event or project its own space from the start. Every later task can then go straight into it.

When to use it
when a new client signs and you want a dedicated list ready for their tasks.
Watch out
run List Lists first if the scenario might create the same list twice.
TickTick3

Create a Task

Action

In MakeCreates a task in a specific list.

Adds a new task to the list you pick, filled with data from earlier modules. It is the natural centre of a TickTick scenario, because it turns an event elsewhere into something on your plate.

When to use it
a form reply, an email or a new order should become a to-do without anyone retyping it.
Watch out
one bundle gives one task, so a search before it can create several at once.
TickTick4

Delete a Task

Action

In MakeDeletes a specific task in a list.

Removes one task from a list for good, which keeps TickTick clean when the source item disappears. Use it sparingly: unlike Complete a Task, it leaves no trace of the work.

When to use it
a request gets cancelled in the source app and its task no longer makes sense.
Watch out
test it on a throwaway task with Run once before letting it touch real lists.
TickTick5

Get a List

Action

In MakeGets information about a specific list.

Reads the details of one list you already know, so later modules can reuse its information. It changes nothing in TickTick, which makes it safe to add while you explore a scenario.

When to use it
you need a list's details to write a message or a report in another app.
Watch out
it targets a single list; to browse all of them, reach for List Lists.
TickTick6

Get a Task

Action

In MakeGets information about a specific task.

Fetches everything TickTick holds about one task, so you can check its state or copy its content into another tool. Nothing is modified along the way.

When to use it
before Update a Task or Complete a Task, to confirm you are about to touch the right item.
Watch out
it points at one task, so plan where that task reference comes from, usually an earlier Create a Task.
TickTick7

Make an API Call

Action

In MakePerforms an arbitrary authorized API call.

Sends your own request to the TickTick API with the connection you already set up. It is the way out whenever none of the nine other modules does what you need.

When to use it
you want an endpoint of the TickTick API that has no dedicated module in Make.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, so keep the TickTick API documentation open next to the editor.
TickTick8

Update a List

Action

In MakeUpdates a specific list.

Edits an existing list rather than creating another one, so a renamed project or client stays in step with TickTick. Your tasks keep their home, only the list changes.

When to use it
a project changes name in your CRM or project tool and TickTick should follow.
Watch out
pick the list carefully, since the change applies to whatever list the module points at.
TickTick9

Update a Task

Action

In MakeUpdates a specific task.

Rewrites an existing task instead of adding a duplicate, which keeps one clean item per request. It suits anything that evolves after the task was created.

When to use it
a customer edits their request, or a deadline moves in the source app.
Watch out
store the task reference when you create it, otherwise the scenario has nothing to point this module at.
TickTick10

List Lists

Search

In MakeRetrieves a list of a lists.

Returns the lists in your TickTick account, one bundle per list. It is the search module of this app and helps a scenario find where things belong before it writes anything.

When to use it
you want to check whether a client list already exists before running Create a List.
Watch out
several bundles come out, and each one runs the next modules once, which uses more operations.

FAQ

TickTick and Make: frequent questions

01Is the TickTick Make integration free?
Yes, TickTick is a standard app, so its modules work from the Make Free plan. That plan gives you 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution per run and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) drop the interval to 1 minute, remove the cap on active scenarios and count usage in operations per month. You still need your own TickTick account.
02What do you need to connect TickTick to Make?
You need an active TickTick account and a Make account. Add a TickTick module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, then follow the on-screen instructions or paste your credentials. For your own OAuth app, register it in the TickTick Developer Center, enter the callback URI shown in the tip above, and copy the Client ID and Client secret into Make. The Connection name field is optional, and once the connection exists, every TickTick module in your scenarios reuses it.
03Does the TickTick Make integration react in real time?
No, not on its own: TickTick has no trigger module in Make, so nothing in TickTick can start a scenario. You start it another way. Either put another app's trigger first, for instance a new form reply or a new CRM record, or let the scenario run on its schedule, which is every 15 minutes by default. How fast it reacts then depends on that first module. While you build, Run once lets you test the scenario a single time without waiting for the schedule.
04What if a TickTick module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. With the same connection, it can call any endpoint of the TickTick API, so you can reach features the nine other modules leave out. You write the request yourself, so keep the TickTick API documentation at hand. The official Make documentation for this app also warns that parts of it are AI-generated, so check important details with TickTick. The request travels through the TickTick connection you already created, so there is nothing extra to set up.
05Should you use Make or n8n for TickTick?
It depends on the tool you already run. Make offers 10 TickTick modules plus a visual editor and a Free plan that is enough to try them. n8n often has a node for the same app, and the choice usually comes down to how each platform fits your team and the rest of your tools. The n8n vs Make comparison on this site lays out the criteria without picking a winner for you.
