Map a Notion priority column to Todoist priorities
Calnio reads a Notion select column as the priority of a Todoist task. The first option in the select is p1, the second is p2, and so on. There is no mapping screen. The order of the options is the mapping.

Which column counts
Calnio looks for a select column called Priority or Prio. If your column has another name, pick it on the sync's card. A column Calnio cannot find is not synced until you choose one.
Calnio reads a select column, so make Priority a select.
Order the options
Todoist's top priority is p1 and its lowest is p4. Calnio matches the select's options by position, so put the most urgent option first. A select of Urgent, High, Medium, Low gives p1 to Urgent, p2 to High, p3 to Medium and p4 to Low.
Reorder the options in Notion's column settings to change the mapping. Calnio goes by the order, not by the words.
Fewer than four options
A select with three options covers p1 to p3. With fewer than four options, the lowest priorities clear the column, and a priority your select has no option for is not read as an edit, so it is not pushed back.
Which way it syncs
Change the select on a page and the task's priority follows. Change the priority on a task in Todoist and the select follows, with two-way sync on, which is the paid plan and the trial. On the free plan, which older accounts keep, the sync runs from Notion to Todoist only.
The rule that settles a clash is the same as for every other field. If the priority changed on both sides between two runs, the later edit wins and Notion wins a tie.
