Keep Todoist review tasks current with new PR commits

Notis notices each commit added to a monitored pull request and updates its Todoist review task so the latest revision is visible.

Trigger

New Commit Added to Pull Request

Triggers when a new commit is pushed to a specific pull request. Monitors all commits on the specified pull request and emits an event for each newly added commit. This covers force-pushes and additional commits pushed to the PR's head branch.

Action

Update Task

Tool to update an existing task's properties. use when you need to modify a task's details after confirming its id and new values.

Why this helps

A review task can look unchanged even after the author pushes a new revision, leading to unnecessary checks or delayed re-review.

  • Shows when fresh code is ready for another look
  • Avoids repeatedly opening GitHub to check for updates
  • Keeps revision context on the existing review task

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub and Todoist through Notis.
  • 2Tell Notis to update the linked Todoist review task whenever the pull request receives a new commit.
  • 3Choose New Commit Added to Pull Request and a reporting channel.
  • 4Push one test commit to the monitored pull request.

Questions about this workflow

Does a force-push trigger the automation?

Yes. This event monitors commits newly added to the pull request, including changes introduced through force-pushes.

Can Notis add the newest commit information?

Yes. Ask it to note the new commit and refresh the task wording or priority in the way that helps your review flow.
