Start each task with a place for its files
Give new work a predictable home in Drive as soon as it appears on your Todoist list.
Trigger
New Task Created
Trigger when a new task is added to Todoist.
Action
Create a folder
Creates a new folder in google drive, optionally within a parent folder specified by its id or name; if a parent name is provided but not found, the action will fail.
Why this helps
When tasks and files begin in separate places, setup friction and misplaced documents slow down the first step.
- Give task-related documents a consistent home.
- Reduce time spent creating folders by hand.
- Use the task title to make the folder easier to recognize.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Todoist and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and add a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction to create a Drive folder named from each new task, using available task details to keep names clear.
- 4Choose the Todoist New Task Created trigger and a report channel.
- 5Test with one real task and confirm the folder name and location.
Questions about this workflow
Can the folder go inside a particular existing folder?
Mention the intended parent folder in your instruction. The automation depends on that folder being identifiable in Drive.
Will it create a folder for tasks already on my list?
The selected trigger starts the automation when a new task is created.
