Migrating Your Tasks: Wunderlist for Pokki — Step‑by‑Step
Overview
A clear step‑by‑step guide to move your tasks from Wunderlist into Pokki (or to set up Wunderlist within Pokki), including preparation, export/import steps, and troubleshooting.
1. Prepare your Wunderlist data
- Back up your lists: In the Wunderlist web app, open Settings → Account → Export. Download the ZIP containing JSON files of your lists and tasks.
- Review exported files: Unzip and inspect JSON files to confirm lists, tasks, due dates, notes, and subtasks are present.
2. Decide migration direction
- If Pokki supports Wunderlist integration: you can connect accounts and sync directly.
- If Pokki does not have direct integration: you’ll import via a supported format (CSV/JSON) or use a third‑party intermediary (e.g., Todoist export/import, or a generic CSV converter).
3. Direct integration (if available)
- In Pokki, open the Wunderlist app tile or app settings.
- Choose Connect account and sign in to Wunderlist with your credentials.
- Authorize Pokki to access Wunderlist data.
- Select which lists to sync and confirm sync options (one‑way or two‑way).
- Verify tasks appear in Pokki; check due dates, notes, and subtasks.
4. Export → Import via CSV/JSON (manual)
- From Wunderlist export, convert JSON to CSV if Pokki requires CSV. Use a converter tool or script.
- Map fields: title, notes, due_date, completed, list_name, priority, subtasks.
- In Pokki, open the task app’s import function and upload the CSV/JSON.
- Match fields in Pokki’s importer to your CSV columns.
- Run the import and verify lists and tasks.
5. Use a third‑party intermediary
- Export from Wunderlist.
- Import into an intermediary app that both Wunderlist and Pokki support (e.g., Todoist, Trello, or a cloud service).
- From that intermediary, export in a format Pokki accepts and then import into Pokki.
6. Post‑migration checks
- Confirm task counts match for each list.
- Spot‑check due dates, reminders, notes, subtasks, and attachments.
- Check recurring tasks and priorities.
- Verify task ownership and sharing settings if you use shared lists.
7. Troubleshooting
- Missing tasks: Re‑export and compare counts; check for JSON parsing errors during conversion.
- Incorrect dates/times: Check timezone settings in both apps; ensure date formats match (ISO 8601 recommended).
- Subtasks lost: Ensure importer supports nested tasks; flatten subtasks into parent‑prefixed tasks if needed.
- Attachments not moved: Download attachments from Wunderlist and manually add them in Pokki.
8. Rollback plan
Keep the Wunderlist export ZIP. If migration fails, reimport into a supported app or restore from your backup.
Tips
- Migrate during low‑activity hours to avoid sync conflicts.
- Test with one small list first.
- Keep both apps installed until you confirm everything migrated correctly.
If you want, I can:
- Provide a JSON→CSV mapping template, or
- Create a small conversion script for the Wunderlist export format. Which would you prefer?
