  • 4Select Todoist New Task Created and a report channel.
  • 5Test with one setup task.

Questions about this workflow

Can the task provide the parent folder?

Yes. Include the parent folder context in the task and tell Notis to use it.

What happens if a folder already exists?

Tell Notis to check first and report an existing match instead of creating an unintended duplicate.
