Why this helps
Labels are easy to miss when you only notice a task title outside Todoist.
- See available labels when a new task is created.
- Recognize relevant task context in the chat you check.
- Avoid opening Todoist just to recall why a task is tagged.

Questions about this workflow
Will it send a message if a task has no labels?
