Keep task details with the matching calendar event
Bring useful task context into the event you will open when the time comes.
Trigger
New Task Created
Trigger when a new task is added to Todoist.
Action
Patch Event
Updates specified fields of an existing event in a google calendar using patch semantics (array fields like `attendees` are fully replaced if provided); ensure the `calendar id` and `event id` are valid and the user has write access to the calendar.
Why this helps
The calendar event and its related preparation task can hold separate details that are easy to miss.
- Keep preparation details near a related calendar commitment.
- Avoid updating an event when the match is uncertain.
- Use task context without manually searching between apps.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Todoist and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to find a calendar event that clearly matches each new Todoist task and append the task details to the event description, skipping uncertain matches.
- 4Pick the Todoist New Task Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one task that clearly refers to an existing calendar event.
Questions about this workflow
Will this replace the event's other fields?
Patch Event updates only the fields provided. If updating the description, instruct Notis to preserve existing description content and add the task context.
What happens if there are multiple possible matches?
Tell Notis to skip updates when it cannot identify one reliable match, so it does not modify the wrong event.
