Give every important task a useful brief
A new task can become a ready-to-use brief in Google Drive, with its purpose and next action captured in plain language.
Trigger
New Task Created
Trigger when a new task is added to Todoist.
Action
Create a File from Text
Creates a new file in google drive from provided text content (up to 10mb), supporting various formats including automatic conversion to google workspace types.
Why this helps
Tasks often arrive without enough context, leaving you to reconstruct the why and what before you can begin.
- Capture the task context while it is fresh.
- Keep task details in a shareable Drive document.
- Make the next step easier to spot.
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 give it a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to turn each new task into a concise Drive brief with its title, available details, and a suggested next step.
- 4Pick the Todoist New Task Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task and review the created brief.
Questions about this workflow
Does the brief include details that are not on the task?
Notis can use details available from the task and your instruction. Add any required background information to the task or instruction.
Can I review what the automation did?
