Make project updates easier to write
When a task captures update details, turn them into a clear draft you can check before sharing.
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
Status updates take time when progress and blockers have to be gathered and rewritten from scratch.
- Reuse status details already captured in a task.
- Keep completed work and blockers easy to scan.
- Review a draft before sending it.
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.
- 3Ask Notis in one instruction to create a project update draft from new tasks that explicitly contain update information, separating stated progress from blockers.
- 4Pick Todoist New Task Created and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with a task containing real update details and verify the draft makes no unsupported claims.
Questions about this workflow
Will it know the whole project status?
It can only use information available from the task and any supplied instruction. Include baseline status when needed.
Does it send the update?
