Give new Todoist tasks the Elasticsearch context they need
A new task can be easier to act on when its supporting records are already found. Ask Notis to search a chosen Elasticsearch index using the task details.
Trigger
New Task Created
A new task is added.
Action
Query Index
Searches an Elasticsearch index for documents.
Why this helps
Finding background records by hand interrupts the moment a task is created and makes useful context easy to miss.
- Find potentially relevant records as soon as a task is added.
- Reduce manual searches across project data.
- Keep the task as the starting point for a focused lookup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Todoist and Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to search a specified index for records relevant to each new task and summarize the matches.
- 4Pick Todoist New Task Created as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real task and confirm the search uses the intended index and fields.
Questions about this workflow
Can this search every Elasticsearch index?
The instruction should name the index to query. If you need to discover available indices first, use a separate workflow with the List Indices action.
Does this add the results to the Todoist task?
The available Elasticsearch action searches an index. It does not update Todoist tasks; Notis can report the search results through the report channel you choose.
