Trigger
New Task Created
A new task is added.
Action
Text to speech stream

Why this helps
Reading every task description interrupts focused work and makes quick reviews harder when you are away from your desk.
- Create a spoken rendering of each new task.
- Use streaming speech for quicker audio delivery where supported.
- Review task details while keeping your attention on the work at hand.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Todoist and ElevenLabs to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel what outcome you want.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to send the new task name and description to ElevenLabs text to speech stream, keeping the spoken text brief.
- 4Pick Todoist's New Task Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task and check that the spoken content is clear and under the action's preferred 5,000 character limit.
Questions about this workflow
How is streaming speech different from a downloadable audio file?
The streaming action returns a spoken audio stream and supports latency optimization. Availability of specific formats can depend on your ElevenLabs tier.
Can the workflow send a long task description?
The action guidance recommends keeping text under 5,000 characters. Ask Notis to summarize unusually long descriptions before sending them.
Can I choose what gets spoken?
Yes. Describe in your instruction whether to include the task name, description, or a concise summary.
