Import your tasks into Taskhold

How importing works

• Format detection reads the content, not the file name: a TODO.md pasted as text, a CSV saved as .txt and a JSON export all land in the right reader.
• The preview lists projects, tasks, steps, notes and labels, the status mix, and where every field goes, including fields Taskhold has no column for. Those are kept word for word under Imported details in the description.
• Projects keep their names. A project with the same name as one you have is filled, not doubled, or you can put everything into one project.
• Large imports run in chunks with a progress bar. Undo this import removes everything the import made and restores anything it updated.
• Each task remembers its source id, so importing again skips what came over before, or updates it if you choose Update.

Importing from an agent or a script

Agents and scripts can import with one REST call. POST /api/import takes the text of a TODO.md, todo.txt, CSV, JSON or other supported file, and a project name. dry_run: true returns the preview without writing anything.

curl -s https://taskhold.com/api/import \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TASKHOLD_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "$(jq -Rs '{text: ., project: "my-repo"}' TODO.md)"
