Capture actionable GitHub issue comments in Todoist
Notis can read each new comment on an important issue and create a Todoist response task when the conversation needs you.
Trigger
New GitHub Issue Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specific GitHub issue. Only genuinely new comments are emitted; edits to existing comments do not produce duplicate events. The payload includes the comment ID, text body, author details, timestamps, and direct links to the comment on GitHub.
Action
Create task
Create a new task in todoist. this action allows users to create tasks with various parameters including content, due dates, priority, and more. the task can be created in a specific project, section, or as a subtask of another task.
Why this helps
A question or decision request can be buried inside a long issue thread and forgotten after the notification is opened.
- Turns conversation obligations into visible next actions
- Keeps the comment link available for a quick reply
- Avoids treating every issue comment as equally urgent
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Todoist in the Notis portal.
- 2Describe in plain language which new issue comments should create a Todoist follow-up.
- 3Choose New GitHub Issue Comment and set the channel for run reports.
- 4Post a representative comment on the monitored issue to test it.
