Title

Prioritize Todoist tasks and send a daily summary to Slack

Who’s it for

Busy professionals, team leads, and freelancers who want a plug-and-play, AI-assisted morning briefing that turns messy task lists into a clear, actionable plan.

What it does / How it works

At 08:00 every morning, the workflow pulls open tasks from Todoist. An AI agent scores and ranks them by urgency, importance, dependencies, and effort, then produces a concise plan. You receive the summary in Slack (Markdown). Overdue or critical items are highlighted with warnings.

How to set up

  1. Connect OAuth for Todoist and Slack.
  2. Select your posting channel in Send to Slack.
  3. Adjust the time in Morning Schedule Trigger (default 08:00).
  4. Run once to verify the parser output and Slack preview, then set the workflow Active.

Requirements

  • n8n (cloud or self-hosted)
  • Todoist account / Slack workspace
  • LLM provider connected in the AI node (do not hardcode keys in HTTP nodes)

How to customize the workflow

  • Edit the prompt in AI Task Analyzer to tweak prioritization rules.
  • Adjust Format AI Summary to match your tone and structure.
  • Add filters in the Todoist node (e.g., due today).
  • (Optional) Log results to Google Sheets or a database for analytics.

Disclaimer (community node)

This template uses a community LangChain node for AI features and is intended for self-hosted n8n. Add a workflow image at the top of your submission page for a clearer preview.
