## Integration with Slack

"""slack_todoist.py - Post Todoist tasks to Slack"""

import os
import requests
from todoist_api_python import TodoistAPI

TODOIST_API_KEY = os.environ["TODOIST_API_KEY"]

## Integration with Calendar (Google Calendar)

    service = build("calendar", "v3", credentials=creds)

    # Get tasks with due dates in next 7 days
    tasks = api.get_tasks(filter="next 7 days")

    for task in tasks:
        if not task.due:
            continue

        # Check if event already exists
        existing = find_existing_event(service, task.id)
