Actions

Most task managers stop at "I'll remind you about this thing." 2Do goes further: every task can carry an Action that turns the task itself into something you can do in one tap.

Adding an Action

Open a task → tap the Action field. Pick a type:

  • Call — places a phone call.
  • Message — opens the messaging app (SMS) with the contact pre-filled.
  • Mail — opens your default mail app pre-addressed.
  • Visit — opens an address in Google Maps for navigation.
  • Browse — opens a URL in your default browser.
  • Google — runs a web search using the task title. For Call, Message, and Mail actions you can pick a contact directly from your Android Contacts.

Performing an Action

A task with an action shows an action button on its row. Tap it and 2Do does the thing. You can also perform from the long-press menu → Perform Action.

Google (Search) Actions

The Google action uses the task title as the query. So a task titled Best lasagna recipe runs that exact search when you tap the action button.

Combining with Locations

A task can carry both a Location and an Action. Common pattern:

  • Location: Home Depot, 123 Main St
  • Action: Visit pointing at the same address
  • Tag: @errands The task surfaces in the Nearby panel when you're close, optionally fires an arrive alarm, and the action button gives you turn-by-turn directions when you tap it.

Tips

tip

Use Google actions for ongoing research tasks. One tap runs the search with the task title as the query — no typing needed.
