The sentence is correct but not much information can be taken from it. What is "this" that you said "told"? Try to construct your sentences in a way that they speak to the other person.
To me, this can not be a stand alone sentence. You must have said something (which in your sentence is "this") before saying that sentence.
The use of "told" would be more fitting if you include a person's name. For example, I told Sam this when I was presenting the topic. But again, this can not be a stand alone sentence.
I hope I am making sense.
