Keep an appointment or scheduled commitment from getting lost among everyday tasks.
Trigger
New Task Created
Trigger when a new task is added to Todoist.
Action
Create Event
Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.
Why this helps
A scheduled commitment in a task list is easy to overlook when you scan your calendar for the day.
- Capture clearly timed commitments in your calendar.
- Use event creation when start and end times are available.
- Keep task text available as context for the event.
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 create an event for new Todoist tasks that state an unambiguous date, start time, and end time, and to ask for clarification or skip if those details are missing.
- 4Pick the Todoist New Task Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task that includes a date and both times.
Questions about this workflow
What if a task only says 'sometime tomorrow'?
That does not provide an unambiguous start and end time. Instruct Notis to skip it or ask for clarification rather than guess.
What time format does event creation require?
Create Event requires RFC3339 UTC start and end times, with the end after the start. Notis should only create the event when it can determine valid times.
