Auto-Snooze Todoist Tasks Until 3 Days Before Due Date

This n8n workflow automates Todoist task management by snoozing overdue or distant tasks into a dedicated 'Snoozed' project, only unsnoozing them when they are 3 days from their due date. It runs on schedule triggers (every 5 minutes and at 5am) to fetch tasks from the Snoozed project, checks conditions like unsnooze date and subtask status, and moves eligible tasks back to the inbox. This keeps your primary inbox clear of non-urgent items, reducing overwhelm and improving focus on what matters now.

Benefits include significant time savings for busy professionals, enhanced productivity by prioritizing near-term tasks, and customizable timelines (e.g., adjust from 3 days to suit your needs). Ideal for personal task lists, team projects, or GTD (Getting Things Done) methodologies where due dates are key.

Use cases: Daily task hygiene for freelancers, project managers handling long-term deadlines, or anyone with cluttered Todoist inboxes. Setup requires Todoist API credentials, a Snoozed project, and due dates on tasks—watch tasks vanish and reappear seamlessly.

The workflow uses IF nodes for logic (e.g., after unsnooze date, not subtask), Todoist operations for fetching/moving tasks, and reliable retry mechanisms, making it robust for production use.
