Keep new Todoist tasks visible in Slack
Turn a new task into a clear team update, so your plans do not stay hidden in a private task list.
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
A task can be captured quickly in Todoist but remain invisible to the people who need to coordinate around it.
- Make new commitments visible to collaborators
- Reduce status questions and duplicate check-ins
- Keep task capture quick while sharing context automatically
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Todoist and Slack to Notis once through the portal.
- 2In the portal, open Automations and create a new automation, or ask Notis conversationally to share new Todoist tasks in Slack.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction describing which new tasks should be announced and what useful context to include.
- 4Select the Todoist New Task Created trigger, choose a channel for run reports, then test with one real task.
Questions about this workflow
Does this announce every new Todoist task?
Describe the intended audience and scope in the automation prompt. Notis uses that instruction to decide what to share when the selected trigger fires.
Do I need to match Todoist fields to Slack fields?
No. Explain the desired Slack update in plain language; there is no field-mapping screen.
