Escalate Todoist blockers in Discord
Ask for help while the blocker is still small enough to resolve quickly.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Post message to channel
Sends a message to a specified discord channel (text, embeds, stickers, components, attachments); requires `send messages` permission and one of `content`, `embeds`, `sticker ids`, or `attachments`.
Why this helps
Blocked tasks wait silently until someone discovers them during a later review.
- Shorten blocker response time
- Make requests actionable
- Reduce silent delays
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Todoist and Discordbot once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Blocker escalation.
- 3Tell Notis to post the blocker, impact, owner, and specific help request from each webhook payload.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger.
- 5Choose a Discord report channel and test with one blocker payload.
Questions about this workflow

New Task Created
Trigger when a new task is added to Todoist.
Assign role to guild member
Assigns a role to a guild member, provided the bot has 'manage roles' permission in the guild and the role to be assigned is hierarchically lower than the bot's highest role.
Add reaction to message
Adds an emoji reaction from the authenticated user/bot to a specific message in a discord channel; does not return information about existing reactions.
Add or update thread member
Adds a user to a specific, unarchived thread; the user must have access to the thread's parent channel, and for private threads, the bot must already be a member.
Modify guild ban settings
Permanently bans a user from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages (specify deletion period in seconds or days, not both).
Bulk ban users in guild with message deletion option
Bans up to 200 users from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages; the bot must have 'ban members' permission in the guild, and this action is irreversible.
Bulk delete messages in channel
Atomically bulk deletes messages in a discord channel for moderation or maintenance; deletion may not be instantaneous and messages are unrecoverable.
