Flag overdue Todoist work with a Discord role
Make overdue follow-up visible without another manual status meeting.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Overdue work is easy to overlook when status lives in a separate task system.
- Surface overdue commitments
- Support timely follow-up
- Keep status visible
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Todoist and Discordbot once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Overdue work role flag.
- 3Tell Notis to identify the agreed overdue tasks and assign the specified Discord role to matching members.
- 4Pick a recurring Notis schedule.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one known overdue task.
Questions about this workflow
Will it assign roles for every overdue task?
Only if you define that scope; you can limit it by project, owner, or age.
What permission is required?
The Discord bot needs permission to manage roles and the target role must be below its highest role.

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
