Close linked Todoist tasks with GitHub issues
Notis can respond to a GitHub issue closed event by completing the corresponding Todoist task, keeping your list accurate.
Trigger
New Issue Event
Triggers when a new issue event occurs in a GitHub repository. Covers all issue timeline events such as issues being closed, reopened, assigned, unassigned, labeled, unlabeled, milestoned, demilestoned, renamed, locked, or unlocked. Events can optionally be filtered by type. The payload includes the event type, timestamp, the actor who triggered the event, the affected issue details, and any associated commit references.
Action
Close Task
This tool marks an existing task as completed in todoist. it requires the `task id` of the task to be closed.
Why this helps
Work finished in GitHub often remains open in Todoist, adding noise and making the task list feel less reliable.
- Removes completed engineering work automatically
- Preserves confidence in the active Todoist list
- Eliminates repetitive cross-tool cleanup
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your GitHub and Todoist accounts to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis to complete the linked Todoist task whenever the GitHub issue is closed.
- 3Choose New Issue Event filtered to closed events and select a reporting channel.
- 4Close one linked test issue and confirm the task completes.
Questions about this workflow
Does this require a task already linked to the issue?
Yes. The instruction should tell Notis how to identify the existing task, usually through the GitHub issue URL or number in its content.
Will other issue events complete tasks?
No. Filter the GitHub trigger to closed events and state that closure is the only outcome that completes a task.
