Give open loops a reliable review moment
Choose which commitments deserve a return at day's end, then let Slack bring them back without keeping them in working memory.
Trigger
New Task Created
Trigger when a new task is added to Todoist.
Action
Create a reminder
Creates a slack reminder with specified text and time; time accepts unix timestamps, seconds from now, or natural language (e.g., 'in 15 minutes', 'every thursday at 2pm').
Why this helps
Unresolved tasks can keep competing for attention when there is no clear point to review or reschedule them.
- Create a predictable return point for unresolved work
- Reduce mental tracking of unfinished commitments
- Make it easier to decide what moves to tomorrow
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Todoist and Slack to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis for Slack reminders on new Todoist tasks meant for end-of-day review.
- 3Describe in one plain-language instruction how a task is marked for review and when its reminder should arrive.
- 4Choose the Todoist New Task Created trigger, a channel for run reports, and test with one review task.
Questions about this workflow
Will this remind me about every task at day's end?
No. The prompt should specify which new tasks are intended for end-of-day review.
Can the reminder help me reschedule?
The reminder brings the task back to attention; you can then decide in Todoist whether it should move.
