Make decision-needed work visible
Put a clear decision request where collaborators can respond, instead of leaving it buried among tasks.
Trigger
New Task Created
Trigger when a new task is added to Todoist.
Action
Post message to channel
Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.
Why this helps
Work waiting on a decision can stall when the request is recorded but the decision-maker never sees it.
- Help decision-makers see pending choices sooner
- Reduce manual approval chasing
- Make stalled work easier to unblock
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Todoist and Slack to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Tell Notis to post qualifying decision-needed Todoist tasks in Slack, or create the automation in the portal.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction describing a decision request and the context needed for a timely response.
- 4Select the Todoist New Task Created trigger and run-report channel, then test with a task that states a real decision needed.
Questions about this workflow
Can this include the decision being requested?
Ask Notis to summarize the decision request from the task context in the Slack message.
Can it avoid broadcasting every task?
Yes. Specify that only tasks explicitly awaiting a decision should be posted.
