Setup
Setup guide
- 11. In your Switchy workspace, navigate to Settings → Integrations and click Connect next to Microsoft To Do. 2. You'll be redirected to Microsoft's OAuth consent screen; sign in with your Microsoft account and grant the Tasks.ReadWrite permission (this lets Switchy read and modify your To Do lists). 3. After approving, you'll land back in Switchy with a green Connected badge. 4. Open any Project and type a message that @mentions Microsoft To Do — for example '@Microsoft To Do create a task called Test integration in my default list'. 5. The MCP will confirm the task was created and return its ID; open the Microsoft To Do app or web interface to verify the task appears. 6. If the connection fails, check that your Microsoft account has To Do enabled and that you granted the correct scope during OAuth.
What teammates see: by default, memories from Microsoft To Do are scoped to the Project (PROJECT visibility) - you can mark any memory PRIVATE or share it ORG-wide.
