Gmail stars become Todoist tasks with context.
By Todoist
If you can type it, you can automate it
You: Write a few sentences. We: Do everything else and then ping you when it's all ready.
Todoist Automations is still in beta.
Expect a few quirks.
See Todoist Automations in action
Finally, automations you can set up yourself
No flowcharts or consultants needed. Try setups like these just by typing “ok.”
Turn starred emails into tasks
“When I star a Gmail message, add it to Todoist for tomorrow”
Track receipts
Every receipt auto-logged in a Google Sheet.
“When a receipt arrives in my inbox, log sender, date, and amount in my Sheet.”
Sync deadlines
Notion dates → Calendar + Slack nudge.
“When a Notion page gets a due date, drop it on my Calendar and ping #team in Slack.”
Auto-prioritize
Weekly re-rank of your Todoist inbox.
“Every Sunday, re-rank my Todoist inbox based on what’s due soonest.”
Auto-unsubscribe
Kill marketing noise from unopened senders.
“Unsubscribe from marketing emails I haven’t opened in 30 days.”
Turn sheets into posters
Sheet rows become Canva posters, no clicks.
“When I add an event to the spreadsheet, generate an event poster in Canva and drop the link back in the row.”

A workflow doing exactly what you told it to, not AI guessing on your behalf
Describe what you need to automate and it'll get up and running on its own.
Just describe it. Write your automation in plain English, the way you'd tell a teammate. We turn your sentence into a working workflow, then step aside so it can run.
Connect tools once. A single secure handshake per tool keeps your data private and your logins tucked away. Each automation runs as a predictable, pre-defined workflow you can count on, every time.
And you're done. Automations hum along in the background, and we ping you the moment each one finishes.
